Great stuff, well done on finishing your submission.

Was the last minute blitz just the way you work or slippage of your workload?

More importantly, what did you learn during this challenge?

Again, well done with hitting the deadline mate.

The problem I ran into is that I paid too much attention to how the theaters exterior should look. Once it was done I was stumped on how the rest of the level should appear, mostly the outside stuff. During the first half of the project I should have also looked for some reference photos for the surrounding area. Creating a couple of proof of concept shots for the surrounding area would have been helpful as well.
So during the meshing phase I took too long trying to figure out what an area looks like with the limit assets that the UDK comes up with.
I also need to allow myself more time to get the installer setup correctly.

I learned next time to use my preproduction phase more wisely.

Same here. My preproduction was far from good, and that affected the rest of the process.

Nevertheless you ended up with a good looking finished map. Congrats!

This is really cool! I like the layout of your map. Good details and a nice dark snowy night feel. Awesome! This is definitely another reason for me to really start getting the hang of UDK.

I like your hallways with the posters. The holes in the sides of building are neat too, and the condemned building idea was well carried out.

Rating: 4/5 Good finished map, good quality and detail, great atmosphere.

Thank you Qmaster! I am glad that you like it.

The UDK is awesome! I love using it.

Thanks. Granted I am not much of a graffiti artist.

I thought it was a nice touch. I have my name "Qmaster" hidden in my map again too, though you really have to look hard for it. It's not in any of my pictures. Anyways I hope you'll be in the next competition.

Also the foreclosure signs are signed by an Inspector Troll Face.

I was wondering who that was. Troll Face?

It's an internet meme. It typically a drawing of someone who represents someone who likes to troll other people along with the tagline "Problem?".
