Hi, I just finished to test your map and, yeah it looks impressive. After Area 42 you just did this amazing
1: The concept and overall look
Again like area 42 you took existing stuff to remix and to something really interesting. I enjoy the over theme, the roman statues (Poseidon/mermaids and puffy) are fun touch.
The natural cavern is a nice addition and IMHO looks better than my own in my abyss version.
2: Gameplay and drivelines
Each rooms are interesting to discover. Maybe you could add some lights to create different effects. I didn't really tried a battle yet.
3: Atmosphere and general look
There seems to have a few bugs there and there regarding the water distortion through the glass but nothing too critical. I love the organic and art deco look of the map. It reminds me of Bioshock.
4: Details to make it perfect
a) The small submarine in the tube isn't moving. In the original map it was going through the tube. Would be nice to put the animation back
b) The puffy statue is dark. Put some light in there so we can see it in all it's glory. I would like to include this model in the current abyss since it's dedicated to puffy.
c) The grid looks giant and it looks like the kart could fall inside. I know I made the same mistake, but you are welcome to do better than me.
Conclusions:
Very cool arena. Maybe you could have tried to make it during the day so we don't have too much dark maps. It would also be an interesting challenge to make during the day or maybe with a part partially above water.
