Thank you! Playing this now.


EDIT: Finished it. Was very nice. Any plans for it to be included in episode 3?

killing the boss should end the level.

No enemies spawn though.

I'm playing on a Mac so I don't know if there's some kind of unix-related naming mismatch thing since some files such as the cutscene speech isn't playing either.

Not sure what the problem is then I'm afraid as I fought a battlelord at the end of the level in that big pipe - did an explosion appear behind you as you moved into the tunnel? Maybe you skipped over the touchplate.

There was a cut scene? All I saw was a black screen after killing the boss.

Just finished Neutrino. Another great map. The only thing that bugged me was that there were no sentient enemies. Just robots to kill. But I understand the story the mapper was trying to convey and rolled with it.

I've tested his 2 new maps and I must say the first one (Pipe Dream) was slightly longer than I anticipated, level design is good, enemies don't come out of nowhere, that new blue water enemy is weird. And like Rarity and Micky said I didn't see any cutscene and a black screen at the end :/

However I could appreciate the soundtrack because of the dynamic music when playing a map out of the User Map menu T_T
Same for the Neutrino map.


As for Neutrino I'd say it looks a bit like a "sub-Zeta", as in it has the same style, the same calm atmosphere (if we don't take the user-music into account) and the ending section was well balanced (and in overall as well) besides since it's a Geoffrey map it's well adapted to his gameplay (even with my plasma shotgun I managed to hit enemies thanks to small places and enough ammo given).
The only thing I don't like however is the fact we obtain 2 research projects that we cannot use :)

I beat both Snowfall's 'new' levels yesterday like three times (trying to find every secret, undertaking in which, BTW, failed dramatically) and I have to say that, even if I enjoyed them both, I liked 'Pipe Dream' far more than 'Neutrino'.
'Neutrino' has, like 'Zeta Base', a freely and careless usage of textures and sprites that feel out of place, specially in the rooms, whereas in 'Pipe Dream' the only thing I found out of place was the map of 'invurban.map' at the beginning of the level.
What's more: what about those void research projects? I expect them to not affect negatively future research projects. Or what about those empty cases? Not even an amulet? :)

BTW, the placement of the M60 inside a chest in 'Neutrino' broke my game twice. You see, it occupies two slots of the chest and if you try to pick it up by clicking the left slot, the game crashes (the right one draws the weapon out of the chest).

Like most of you, I got a blank screen at the end of 'Pipe Dream'. Too bad. :)

Anyway, leaving aside the 'criticism', both levels are enjoyable, well designed and exploit a lot of features from the TC. Snowfall sure has talent for mapping. He just needs to be aware that adding stuff that identities other levels (like the gong from the Asia missions) into his own doesn't always fit. :)
