I have posted screenshots of a new map I am working on here: http://jason-cole.com/files/sauerbraten/

I wanted to know what people thought about this map, and possible inclusion in a future release. It is large and eclectic, but I think that it presents some unique ideas.

#1: Initial Thoughts

It looks very Cube 1: lots of extremely blocky geometry without any accents. Try and add in some more angles and details to the geometry, and then go through and add texture accents. If you look at almost all of the good included maps, they make extensive use of trim textures and little details to make the level prettier.

After you've done that, pour some serious time into lighting. I highly recommend deconstructing the lighting in good maps, you'll learn a lot from just breaking things.
