Hello everyone, for the first time in forever have a new picture:
Its the adjusted layout and even though I made this yesterday, that picture is still outdated but its still indicative of what Ive changed
Try using the loops thingy into you level, maybe it helps. I see very long and small corridors everywhere, and i think the upper two rooms need connections with the rest of the areas close to them (left and right) to have a better connectivity/navigation flow.
I've spoken to killer about this. The changes he has proposed should fix any outstanding issues and I'm very excited to see the results of this.
The top map was before he started the changes, so it'll make a nice comparison once the next build is out.
The feel when UWE removes all the Biodome props from the editor, leaving giant holes where they used to be. I had an entire room made of the biodome pipes, an hour and a half of resizing and replacing

It seems to me like the layout changes you've done, made it alot faster for aliens to go between Biodome and Ventilation. I think this might be bad, even though you made those areas of the map more friendly to traverse for marines as well. I simply think the travel time for aliens between those two hives is way too short now. Also, I really enjoyed the vent system around those areas in the original. It felt like a maze until you learned the layout of them, I liked the complexity of that.

The north Hive (ventilation) was always quite isolated from the rest of the map with just one main hallway connecting it, something that doesn't fly very well where cyst chains are concerned. I don't think it will translate over very well...

Anyways, i always criticize for good, so dont take me wrong!
Overall much improved, compared to the older version. Looking forward to what comes next.
Otherwise, great work. Progress is looking good.
