I dig it, but something about how the arches all meet and the space between them seems... odd...
Selentic that's hideous, you can do better than that :/
The bricks below the arches should not be anything like that higgledy-piggledy, especially as the shading on that middle one is dead crisp down the centre edge, but the bricks are super round and anything but straight.
The tops of the arches should have some kind of central keystone also.
The bricks on the wall generally come out far too far from the other flat ones, it looks like someone's taken them out to put something behind them.
Why is there no proper seam between the edge of the arch bricks and the standard bricks between the arches? There should be the same level of creasing as all the other brick-brick joins.
The flat bit at the top of the bricks between the arches, run out of normal map rays?
Overall I think your bricks are too bloby and lack definition as well as being too far apart (look at the gaps in back wall, yuck!)

Maybe in a few months. I haven't really tried to do environments built out of modular level pieces up until relatively recently, so it shouldn't really surprise you that I'm not too great at it yet ;p
Totally right.
Actually the first variation had this goofy 1/4 of a brick in that space, and I thought that looked silly so I deleted those and then forgot to do anything about that gap. I should have just moved them up to fill that area lol.
I can not believe that this didn't occur to me at all. I knew that something about everything else was bothering me but this never even crossed my mind even though it should have been obvious.
Anyway, thanks, gonna start over tomorrow :3

Hey Sel, the reason those arches look off is because you're not vaulting them. In a room of repeating arches, there shouldn't be a flat roof.
That's a groin vault, seen from the top. It's formed by extending the pointed arch, copying and rotating it 90 degrees so the two extended arches intersect, and cutting the seams at 45 degree angles to merge them. That pattern can then be tiled, as seen below.
Often, there is ribbing (those raised blocks) placed at the intersections of the arches for extra support and decoration.

The cart falls through the floor just before it rolls into the furnace. That's about it.

mock up of the portfolio I'll be building then populating over spring break... a couple things are off-center, I'll get that fixed when I code it. Additional games will be the same form as the TF2 one.
EDIT: The dashed line at the very top is just a bug from the screenshot.
