Brighter.

Seriously, I can't see ANYTHING in half of those shots, and only half of the reason behind that problem is my monitor. For some of those, you could show a black image and I couldn't tell the difference.

I can understand you wanting to make it dark, but please, add SOME light in there. I'm not a fan at all of wandering around a dark level with my field light on all the time.

You all need new monitors.

I agree, the screenies are a bit too dark. If you want to see them, you'll have to turn the brightness on your monitor up. For those who say that they can be seen fine, either your brightness is already up, or you've been staring at the monitor too long. You can make a level dark with light in it, I know this may seem psychadelic to some of you, but it's true. All ya have to do is instead of have a sector light set to zero set it to 1 or 2 and add dynamic lighting here and there occassionally.

Well, a level should be designed to be seen on almost all monitors....

I can't really see the details.

Seriously, though, why make it so dark that many can't see it? Just make it brighter, and make flickering lights, and it should be just as creepy.
DO NOT WANT.

New screen shots, same comments from me. Good architecture, but the lighting possibly to dark and definately to bland. Its all one shade, dark...through some bright patches in there to constrast with the dark.

Try adding some flickering lights or make some of the lights work with others broken. That way, the level will be just as creepy, but you can actually see it!
Made you look
2004-09-18, 3:55 PM #11
Yes, make the lights textures brighter

I'll admit I need a new monitor. Just how many people here are running with a 10+ year old monitor? Yeah. I need to replace it.

Even still, it's way to dark. Add flickering lights, turn the lights up, do SOMETHING.

Did you really have to say that? Honestly I dont care if you can see it on your monitor.
I had to put my brightness up to 100 to see the images.


Anyway, its looking nice. But yea, I would up the brightness a little bit.

Ironically, i just got one (its on my other computer though, without internet access).

As predicted, the glare off my monitor on this computer made it impossible to see the screenshots (its 11:30 PM now, so i can see them).

Not bad, but Doom3 was darker (for JK, its still a bit too dark).

You have 500 bucks to send to me? Because that's how much I'll need for the new one I've been eyeing.
