The Factory

[Open Assets] The Factory 1.0

This is one of my favorite srb2 maps,

Is it perfect? No absolutely not, visually it could be a LOT better (although I don’t think it’s ever bad and when it looks good it does look good)
But my god THE GAMEPLAY
This level is genuinely so tightly designed, the geometry, the layout just my god, are so good, like some of the best I’ve played in this game bar none good

Everything I love about factory levels is here, I have a stupid smile on my face every time I play this
Genuinely it is difficult to explain specifically why I love the way this level is designed because it’s just. Designed that well, I wish I was able to put into words why but, the pacing, the attention to laying this out like a real location, the Setpiece, it’s almost everything I want in an srb2 level

THANK YOU. I wish every OLDC would release as a stand-alone. This level is immaculate, lengthy, beautiful, and elaborate. You are a treasure. Thanks again.

Gameplay wise this is an incredibly solid map, with a large amount of content and split paths, all working with a comfortable scale for SRB2 gameplay. The new skybox does wonders to sell the location of the stage too. My only criticism is that the visual design can be pretty mononous on a room-by-room basis, you have the colors and texture variation down for the whole level, but it's just individual rooms that use new selections of textures, rather than having a nice palette of textures to decorate all your rooms with. This leads to large walls using the same texture with nothing breaking it up, big flat planes that don't look like anything. Try playing with breaking up your walls with new textures, adding more variation in the ceiling, and giving rooms contrast with different brightness levels.

Welcome to Releases!
