Description
Medium sized map set in an alternate alien dimension. Majority of the textures in this map are from the 2000's shooter Warsow.
Design is pretty much based on Oldschool 2000's/90's arena shooters with some references to Quake in the design. Teleporters are included that are in a non linear sequence. Lots of verticality and vibrant lights/scrolling textures to enhance the experience. This is just a beta build of the map. Not really sure if the teleporters and gameplay are adept..

Special thanks to Vel for the sexy looking teleporter meshes and his informative input which helped tremendously.
Goober for testing and his wisdom and advice.
Spikey for his awesome skybox and big thank you to everyone else who provided insight/advice.

Enjoy.

Fantastic visuals and fun gameplay, well done kerpal! This is an art style I've not seen attempted in RF very often, but I hope to see it more in the future - it came out really nice and fits the engine well.

This map was super fun to play at GN, and I'm sure will find a welcome home in pub DM rotations for years to come.

Overall great looking map. The feel really deviates from the RF norm which I quite like. Excellent use of scrolling textures.

I did notice that taking the jump pads while continuing to hold forward causes you to slam into the wall above you before reaching the apex of the jump, which interrupts the flow. Maybe this could be fixed with some tweaks to jump pad position and properties, or even having a slight angled "scoop" cut into the wall above to guide the player up more smoothly. I don't think this affects gameplay at all, it just feels a little weird.

Adding some trim (like the trim around the glass floor areas) to the edges of the areas that use the hexagon floor texture might be a good addition, since it cuts off a bit abruptly at the edges. Would bloat the face/vertex count though.

I'm not the best person to comment on things like layout or item placement, but during Game Night it felt fine.

Doesn't look Quakeish to me, but it felt like i was playing an old Star-Wars game if it weren't for RF items and hud. Everything looks just sexy especially the teleporter and the skybox. Very well textured and greatly detailed as you would imagine a modernized map uncommonly seen among regular RF maps.
Well done kerpal.
