Going in for lower back surgery today. Don't know how long it'll be until I can sit in front of the comp for any measurable length of time. If I don't come back at all it means I'm paralyzed from the waste down, can no longer enjoy porn, and therefore lost complete interest in the internet

Good luck with the surgery Forge, hope it turns out alright for you.

I played the map and it was good solid stuff; it looked good even in classic mode (so much I thought it was designed with that in mind at first) Everything was good, although I'm never a fan of ending a map with a boss battle but still, nice work and I hope you make more

Thanks James.

Took around 20mins here. Enjoyed the map and it looked great in classic. For some reason it also 'felt' very 3DR-ish to me. Expect a review from me sometime next week.

Yeah, I like to pay attention to architecture and I recognize I'm sometimes inspired by 3DR style.
Thanks for the comment.

I still recommend registering at Duke4.net asap and posting your map there, it's the last big Duke community. 95% of the members here are over there as well.

David B. · 26 May 2012, 13:31:05

I would like but I'm encountering troubles with registration on the duke4 forum...
I'm trying to make it works properly since yesterday !!!!

quakis · 26 May 2012, 14:03:44

I'll do you a favour and make the thread.

Micky C · 26 May 2012, 14:09:56

What'll that make it? 2 threads for other people's maps in 3 days?

quakis · 26 May 2012, 14:32:36

Done; http://forums.duke4.net/topic/5505-rel-highland-by-david-b/

I don't mind, it gets the word out. Anything to get new releases out there for those not aware.

Also hosted here

Forge nor me are particular fond of pending reviews but I thought this map deserves an upload.

I'm not a good reviewer. I do some short reviews for ancient "crap maps" but doing a review with todays standards for modern quality maps is not my department

Feel free to submit a review

David B. · 26 May 2012, 15:41:07

Thanks Quakis, cool.

Merlijn · 26 May 2012, 18:04:56

Cool, downloading! I'll have some time tomorrow, so I could write a review.

Good luck with the surgery, Forge.

Played the new 'Highland' version & I like the improvements. Ending is much better! Played on 'Come Get Some' setting & it took me 26 minutes this time. I agree with Pbolduc - best high school level ever (and I've seen a few, believe me)

Kevin Mooney · 26 May 2012, 19:38:54

I forgot, good luck with surgery Forge too. It it does go wrong, I'm sure with all our technical expertise, we could convert you into a cyborg a la Davros - creator of the Daleks

Thanks for all these great comments.

This is also encouraging for future projects :
I've got a finished map (never shared yet) I could refresh and make it bigger so that it should be releasable.
I'm also thinking about a remake of hostel so that the map would be barely recognizable and reach the current standards...
