It was heavily inspired by upward obviously, done in the upward theme. Of course it's meant to remind you of upward :p



I don't understand?
nothing, just seems you like making things with bridge walkways. :)

Show us show us show us!

I would but the lack of antialiasing and low texture resolutions bug the hell out of me, and I also lost a lot of work on the map when my computer first bluescreened. :(

Hopefully I can buy a new graphics card soon.

Edit:
Okay here's a hammer screenshot, but DAMN I lost a lot of progress...

Trust me, I did that so when I have all visgroups on my APU doesn't melt.

Related note: one time I left the .vmf for Rottenburg open too long, and my computer started doing this.

My 5 year old computer doesn't cope well with certain things (my model draw dist is really low too).

That's what happens when a graphics card starts to overheat. But I've never had that happen to me, no, mine just decided to give up living. (Although there is a great chance that I have a malware infection)

All your edges are super flat. the bricks, wood and metal all align to be compltely flush with each other. That looks ok, but super boring. Push the brick further in, bring the wood out

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12945353/maps/CP_WIP/bpr/2014-04-14_00003.jpg
Wood mismatch on the steps. That roof isn't being supported properly at all. It's also too thick really. Prop metal is the wrong colour and looks odd.

Love the sense of scale. The bright orange metal stuck randomly to the wooden beams way high up is really high contrast with no realy reason, I'd remove it. If you really want something there, use haphazardly attached wooden supports (try and make them look like they're at least a little loadbearing, as though one of the main supports has become weak and that's the solution)
Are your conveyor belts just abutting the wood? Add a hatch for them to enter.
Slacken those cables a -lot-

Roof metal is again too thick. The whole building on the right is fugly, that combination of red plaster and blindingly bright yellow metal isn't a good one.
Again here your wooden beams are too flush with the rest of the building. Add some interest in your outlines!

I would also say to use displacement roofs where possible. Its a small detail but can add alot (just make sure that a building in a good standing can have flat roofs while a wooden, weakened building has them).

With long flat tilted roofs it could be usefull to have the roof split in 2 parts and add a dent into it (with displacements you can make it smooth).

With displacements you can add alot of smaller detail at a quite low effort.

Also, add a rope at the end of that pully on the building in the center: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12945353/maps/CP_WIP/bpr/2014-04-14_00006.jpg
