Video feedback on every detail entry. I can't be arsed to name the videos and/or provide individual links, so just dig through this playlist to find your map's video (or watch all of them!).

Wow, thanks for going to the effort to make these! It was awesome to see that someone had actually played through and examined my map.

Also, I noticed your advice (on detail_raven) about making the sides/walls of the concrete pit different from the top... isn't this sort of unrealistic? I normally try to avoid it unless there's some sort of edge/plating between the two materials, usually just a metal bar. Not trying to reject your advice or something, just curious about how you would do this

I noticed that the playlist is all unlisted, do you mind if I post my feedback video on my twitter? (It would be thanking you for the quality feedback).

If it was unlisted for the purpose of privacy I will respect that.

Edit:
Also Im quite proud of the fact that the WHOLE detail entry I made was off the top of my head, nothing pre-planned and I didnt even begin the contest with a detail entry in mind.

So the tiny things you pointed out were simply faults of a speedy entry, but I do appreciate how in-depth you went. Like going so far as to comment on the sand on the back of the platform, I hadnt even considered the effect of the terrain on the concrete outside.

Also, I originally planned to have the building non-holo and to focus more on the outside, so thats why the inside looks rushed and why the spytech room is out of place.

Using the same texture on a floor/wall that touch makes it harder to see the edge between them. In reality, yeah, they're both made of the same material, but also keep in mind that they'd be subjected to different kinds of wear and tear - a floor is more likely to be dirty than a wall, and a wall is more likely to have runoff stains.

If it was unlisted for the purpose of privacy I will respect that.

They're unlisted because I didn't bother to title the videos properly and I'd just prefer to keep them off my channel page until I fix that (if I ever do). Feel free to post the videos wherever you want.
