Dirge II: Evil From Within

By the looks of the screenshots, it seems good, but the packaging could have had a little more time spent on..

Posted: 2003-01-22 10:31 a.m.   Report Abuse I was a big fan of the original dirge and was happy to see that you made another version with the same general theme. This map is absolutely gorgeous, no doubt about it. I do have some constructive criticisms however.

First, I found that a few of the areas were too tight/cramped/small for effective gameplay. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of huge areas, but I do believe there is a medium ground somewhere.

Second, you could have made it more fps friendly by blocking vis in a number of places. I was getting around 40 fps in some areas on my own and I have a fairly decent system (athlon 1800xp/geforce2 gts).

Looking forward to your future maps! :)

And I love the layout man, this is a wicked level, however small. Something like this on SMHQ or Purgatory 'aw crap I'm lost again' proportions is what I'd like.
