Hi, this map is now released as rc1 version.
The build has taken influence from the Alien films, the abyss, total recall and the game Doom 3. It is based on the map dm_areolite which is a deathmatch classic game still available on deathmatch classic servers, although built from scratch and extensively modified beyond similarity except in map layout. The map is centred around a 'pit', with 3 interlocking floors, and features teleports, stairwell lighting, manual closing doors, ventilation ducts, working elevator (american english) and switchable lights. The pit features an expanse of water that forms an abyss.
The map also includes increased lightmaps, which means that shadows appear more striking and less diffused. New textures courtesy of catalyst source studios - http://www.fpsbanana.com/textures/98 And a custom made skybox with martian sky and mountains.
The switchable lights are a main feature of the map, and affect the soundscape, making the map very quiet while also darker, which brings in a new form of gameplay for dm.
