Talons No Force ~ Temple

It's not often we get maps for Jedi Outcast, much less people who are starting out mapping for it, but that's exactly what we've got here: someone who has made their first map, and for JK2 no less! For a first map it's actually pretty good... however as with all first maps there are lots of things to work on.

First of all it's a clan map, so there's really no overall theme to it or anything to tie it together. That's the general problem with clan maps... Secondly, not a single light entity that I could find had a source, so there are lots of randomly placed "light blobs" as I light to refer to them The texturing was inconsistent and the lighting throughout the map is poor so everything looks really bright. There are also random pictures on the walls throughout the map - generally of the clan members and their interests I'm guessing. All the guys will be happy about that because apparently one member of the clan likes cars, and at least two like women. Sorry, no nudity. Thankfully...

While the map itself is kind of visually ugly, it includes a lot of interesting features I wouldn't expect from a first-time mapper, including several types of doors (including kind of a 'trap' door), some fire effects, water passageways, and even a water slide. Reminded me of the Slip'n'Slide from my youth. It's obvious this mapper already has his foot in the door and more practice and constructive criticism from his peers will go a long way to improving his mapping, so nice first attempt and I hope to see more from you!
