Alright. I started off with absolutely NO knowledge in either the editor or scripting. I want to thank all of you on the forum who helped me with the scripting!

NOTE! The reason it's called test_map and test3 is because I named it that at the start since I didn't think I would make it a real project, so just don't bother about that.

I know there is some graphic bugs and that some rooms are poorly designed, but if I make another map I will focus much more on the level editing rather than the scripts.

Leave feedback so I know what to improve next time (except the level)

Pretty nice for your first map!

There are many overlapping textures and holes which could be covered by a welder. Most places are pitch black and I didn't find as many light sources as i had tinderboxes. The hole in the ceiling is covered by another texture. You could have used some particle effects. The planes were too small and looked strange, you could've set the tile amount to something like 0.5 or lower.
The environment could be more enhanced to get a better atmosphere.
Don't put too much keys in a map, or it will get monotonous.
Make puzzles and parts were the player has to think of what to do next.

Use lower values for impulses, for example at the part with
But i gotta say, I enjoyed your map!
I really liked the part with
I didn't know what to do first, but i managed to stay undetected.
The ending was different from the usual endings. Short, but finally a map where you

I think you have potential to make good maps.
Try to improve your map with all my criticism.

Strange, I tried it right now and it worked for me.

@Ongka
Thank you for your criticism! Will make my next level better; more textures, items, light sources and some particles. I'm still learning

@thomsone
I added 3 mirrors. ^^

Much thanks ,

This looks nice. Have to try this

Your first custom story ? It was awesome ,good scripting and maps are too good. Only i think that you must improve lights and I like to see more things in my rucksack than only keys but great work man,...keep it up

Thanks for the support! I've planned to make the next level better designed, more decals and particles etc.. More sounds + scares and of course, more kinds of items ^^. (It's already in progress )

I will look forward
