Well it's a start. Short and sweet. Overall look needs to be improved and many things need to be added but it worked and I actually loved the jump. Keep working on it!

Thanks for the feedback Hopefully I will be better at Hammer by the next update! Hammer gives me nightmares... Plus I need ideas for the next room, the first one came to me while messing around with faith plates.

Yep... pretty sweet. Keep working! Instead of making hammer your nightmare, try use it as your reality-making-machine! This is the program where all your ideas comes to life! I also liked the jump. Try make the player jump a little bit higher before hitting the next faith plate. (Lower speed = Higher jump, if you use info_target's)

You've got something there Go for it!

Mostly lurking

The rooms are just huge and ugly.. But I've seen worse first-try maps.
