Peer Review Again!

We now come to the point where we need to analyze each other's work.

Question: Are the lighting (lens flares, panning lights) placement ok?

Peer Review:
- The lighting seems fine for the amount of small, closed-in corridors there are.

- Light placement is fine, but worried about the radius of each light as they look a bit small. Unless you're after a dark atmosphere.

- Lighting seems good for the corridors.

My Answer:

Thank you for the responses.With a lot of positive responses, I don't think there are any flaws in my lighting anymore aside from the light radius. Therefore, I think my lights are doing its job. Now that I am confident that the placement is correct its just a matter of improving its aesthetic and features.

Question: Is the map layouts (lights and ladders) OK for a death-match and capture-the-point game mode?

Peer Review:
- The mix of narrow corridors and open spaces will mix well for a Capture game mode, the amount of corridors may take away from a death-match though.

- The map layout is unique from any of the other maps I've seen, although the size could be a bit too big and might be hard to find other players.

-The map layout is quite big so it will hard to find the player, but the map is great for capture game mode.

My Answer: When it comes to my map layout I received a lot of negative and mixed reviews. I realized that building a little Victorian town for a big death-match and capture the flag map is hard work and will only lead to minimal acceptance. So, I am planning of cutting it down and minimizing my map into a manageable but still enjoyable level.


Question: Im going for a victorian themed game what do you think?

Peer Review:

- With the lighting being set as it is currently, a victorian theme would be good.

- I think the layout suits a victorian layout. Can't see any problems with it right now.

- The lighting layout looks good for your map level. i don't know you would improve it right now.

My Answer: Based on the reviews I got, I am confident of my way of placing aesthetics to mimic a Victorian level.
