NEW and FUN screenshots from felgen:

I doubt I will continue the development of ctf_felgen, since it has been reduced to a chore for me, especially since I have no chance reaching the deadline

The progress is looking really great though. You shouldn't give up. If the grace period is a solid seven day week, you'll have until 7 pm EST on Monday to work on it.

Been working on this map some more. I re-did the whole capture point due to the last ones layout being silly and rushed. So I did this last night.

Those pictures feel a tad bit red. Maybe add some more blue/green to the lighting? Considering the buildings, ground and walls are all red...

Yeah your light_env is really really orange, you can get across the same desert feel with more neutral lighting I promise. Just make it more white/yellow and more neutral rather than it being so red. Isn't very interesting to look at, and with every structure being brown/orange/red it tends to wash the colors together. Experiment with dissonant lighting, try colors other than orange lighting. Whites, yellows, very bright blues, etc. Create an interesting-to-look-at map by not washing it all one color.

Conversely, consider adding props/brushwork/textures that utilize various colors other than red to vary up your scene. Blue-grey metal structures, blue barrels, metal rooves or structures that are grey-ish, or concrete white structures help vary up the colors a bit. Consider looking at maps such as Badlands or Ravine to see examples of color variation within the desert theme.

Additionally, within your heavily orange light_env, that yellow light over your control point in the second picture ends up looking a sickly shade of puke green. It's dissonant, but not really in a cohesive or pleasurable way.

Looks like something out of the Binding of Isaac.

Thinking of doing a space stattioned theme payload map - this would be a coneection tunnel in various places throughout the station:

I feel like those platforms should either be circular, or nearer to circular with far more sides, or more angular, with only 4 sides or something. That sort of thing never looks amazing in TF2 because those sorts of textures are associated with rectangular paneling in real life, not round things. Also, there's the element that that sort of tunnel doesn't really make any sense for a space station: if it's a "green patch", why make it so small and placed between two completely utilitarian areas - not to mention the lack of really interesting plant-life; if it's just a connector, why risk tripping over or getting your space wheels stuck with your stepping stone system.

Also, I'm not convinced by having plastered concrete walls in a space station - that's awfully heavy and expensive to set up and bring from earth. Wood would honestly make more sense, as you could at least grow it at your moonbase. It might serve you well to see what space station textures Valve gives you when they start detailing the inside of rd_asteroid, and focusing on the shape and playability by using dev textures.
