Specially the outdoor area looks very impressive I would try and mess around with the lighting a bit more though

I love the way you detailed the bottom center picture, with all the smaller cubes.

thats just the corridor between 2 test, I like to make all of them different, so they are not boring

The first room looks too dark for the amount of light models, imo

Hmmm... a bit too PTIish smell maybe? Don't get me wrong, it's looking fine, but I might be missing a more genuine touch like in the introduction to your mappack

Also, I think the puzzles are too overwhelming for the size of the chambers!

- Overall, pics 2 and 3... I think there's too much going on in there! Am I counting 7 buttons, the dropper and the funnel in 640x512 units (well, one floor button is out of that space in the corridor...)?

- Pic no. 4 looks an interesting puzzle to me though.

- That chamber in pics 6-7-8 looks great

Heh, thanks! I knew someone would eventually say that! I'm guessing that you think its PTIish because of the lift platforms, 128x128 textures, and the light strips right?
Well, I did designed the second chamber in PTI, to test out if my puzzles are solvable. Turns out they are, so I re-made the chamber in Hammer. However, I'm way too lazy to make a new lift platform, so I copied the lift platform instance from my PTI map to the Hammer map. As for the light strips, I just put them randomly
Actually I do place some things that PTI can't, like multiple 256x128 observation rooms and warm lights, so people won't think that its a PTI/PTI-exported map.

Haha! I try not to make the player walk so much, thats why the chamber is so tiny. Besides, I slowed the funnel to -200 Linear Force ^^

Pic 4 is a small & easy "Fizzler-Network" puzzle

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated!
Would you like to playtest my map?

CamBen: Maybe because I'm using cool lights, will switch it to neutral lights
Thanks for the feedback!

Updated the screenshot of my training map:

If at the end of the map the player deides to not use the exit elevator (which is the same as the entrance elevator), there will be an optional quest to escape and find the secret test and bts area outside. The 9 normal test will be indoor chambers.
Since its a big (but easy) map, I'll need some tester, mainly for exploits and to check difficulty.
