Covs>Sun Temple

Description
This map is a medium-sized FFA set in a temple-like area. It features several rooms, a few of which seem to have specific purposes (or parts do, at least). It is set on Yavin, so you will quickly be able to recognize the Yavin jungle style in its architecture and texturing. My major concern with the map was that it was quite dark. This is not due to poor lighting, per se, but I would rather say a lack of good lighting. You know what I mean... it's like when you go to your aunt's house, and her living room is being lit by one lamp over in the corner. Makes it hard to see, yes? You [i]can[/i], but another few lamps would really ease up on the eye strain. In this case, I'd recommend some wall torches or something -- in fact I thought I saw where a torch [i]should[/i] have been, but no flame... I thought it was quite curious, indeed.

The overall design of the map I really liked. I'll be the first to admit it was boxy, but to be fair it [i]is[/i] a Yavin temple. How many curvy archy Yavin temples have [i]you[/i] seen? Anyway, I digress. As I was going to mention, it was the little extra details I really liked. The shallow more aesthetic than functional stairs, a few little hidden away areas, random holes in the ceilings or walls (ie. missing bricks), and even just a few trees here and there. All the little things that always make a difference are present in this map.

That said, the base architecture could probably use a bit of intrigue. The walls mainly. Not a huge deal, but a little bit of brush or texture variation would probably go a long way to get rid of the "tedious" nature of some of the rooms. A couple other odd bugs here and there include one single instance of z-fighting that I saw. I also noticed in some areas the light seemed to be spewing forth from the bottom of certain walls. Definitely an odd look. Despite these flaws, though, I think this map holds great potential, style-wise, and probably offers some pretty decent gameplay as well, for those of you who enjoy sabers.
