First thing i would like to point out is the Elevator, it's hovering, nothing is attached to it.
The Displacements where good but there was some leaking's here and there from where the displacements meet up.
Camera movement was nice and smooth.
Npc movement/general, well at the end hes just standing, he should have so facial expressions and/or something else.
Sound was good.
General idea, Pretty good actually, Could use some more detail though.

The Combine/regular wall looks very weird and flat
The npc (the girl) Sometimes she just stands in front of the props, not sure if supposed or a broken scene.
The Stalkers, i didn't like their moaning or what ever you call it, next time make them a "Generic_actor" To make them completely silent.
I like the Camera fade in/out effect showing time passes by by having props fade out and fade in and the npc's and such.

Good idea, Nice camera choice.
The camera movement was stiff sometimes when he turns but that's because of the AI.
The mapping was decent, nice custom stuff, Some flaws with some dev textures and no outside area.
A bit short, would like to see a longer one sometime.

My games Crashed every time i tried to launch the map, Tried with hl2, ep1 and ep2.
But i watched to video clip and i can briefly say some of the parts.
The mapping is good.
I enjoyed watching it and it was funny.
Npc's could have had more expressions.
Sound was decent.
"Legs" was just floating under the rail, The train was sometimes skipping outside of the rail.
Camera movement was smooth.

If it still counts as i only watched the video and don't know if it's the final result.

A bit short, Nothing really special about it, Mouse movement was able (yes i saw the READ ME),
but the rule clearly says no player movement and that it should always be in a camera.
The effects was nice and the idea was good but it didn't really impress me.

Sorry

Please do not hate me.
I would just like to point out some stuff. As i was working on my entry i ended up removing 75% of planned content. Stuff like dev textures are here becouse i could not find any good models around. The much needed custom skybox got cut in the last 10 minutes of devtime cuz of many bugs and no time to isolate and fix them. I do intend to finish this particular map as well as do more cinematic content of this sort in the future. Oh and i will also make a tutorial on how to make the camera-to-npc thing.
i hat u >:(((

Thanks for the rating, but the constant crashes has somethign to do wit the shear amount of content we added, I'm almost sure. Some people said they fixed it by lowering their graphics or resolution.

Thanks for that, i couldn't work out how to shut them up. I also had a tremendous amount of issues with some of the animations, so much so that in the end i just tried to get her in a few thoughtful poses around the machine. I do think a few were actually still broken though. I know the animation in room 5 was definatly not working, yet it would work elsewhere, so i have no idea.
I guess that's what happens when you spend 8 hours on a map, I had 2 days from when I got the idea, oh well.

To be fair, i didn't spend a massive amount of time on the map. Most of my time was spent rigging up all the names.

Most of my time was spent experimenting on workarounds. For example, the camera in the legs scene is actually just parented to a func_tracktrain. Mainly because path_corners like to just send the camera way off the tracks just to try and keep it smooth.
And even then, as you noticed. It didn't stay on fully. (Legs's rail thing) It's not exactly my fault, just sources buggy implementations

I built so much and experimented with stuff i never used. I decided to keep it really simple. Although, making 21 exact clones is anything but simple. I had to number room 1 and room 11 on the wall to stop me getting too confused. Even then it was tough going.

I loved your map I really hope you win man. Also regarding the next contest there should be something more refreshing in the contest. Since it seem's less than a quarter of the people that join actually end up finishing.

I really liked the atmosphere. The talking was sort of hard for me to hear for the first two seconds, but I had my sound
sort of low. Of course, there was no player movement at all, which is good. I just felt like something was missing from
this.

The song had me tapping my feet at times. The wall had me curious though. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be some
sort of fade effect or what. I really liked that fading effect, it gave it a feel.

At first, I had no sound on, so I was worried you had no sounds. I really liked your idea. Waking up and moving on with
your day. I'd like to see him cook something or watch TV though, but it's not really my map to say anything. The dev
textures were easily caught by my eyes, but I didn't let that get to me. The turns were a bit weird, but like you said
about the AI. I liked this map overall, just wish it was a bit longer, had more things happen, and the outdoor had grass
or some sort of land.

My game stopped working whilst loading this up. I just couldn't load it with Garry's Mod. So I watched the video on your
channel. It was funny and creative. I found myself smiling at times. That's really hard to do with a YouTube video
and/or a map. I liked the "Legs" character and how you made the outtro with the various actors in it. You impressed me!

Alright, I was so confused as to when it ended. I sat there for a minute or two just listening to breathing to realize it
ended. It was a great idea, I just wanted it to expand a bit more than it was made to be. Anyways, the camera was a
problem, but I read the readme and it ended up being fine.

I don't know why our entry doesn't load...
Load it up in EP2 and lower your graphics/resolution... it seems to work that way.
I have no idea why it crashes. It's beyond our control... sorry
I'll get on my verdicts today, expect them in a few hours.
Don't hate me now but, I'm actually a bit disappoint at you facepunch mappers, About the half/crappy/not really ready content, come on... almost 2 months and 5/28 actually managed to scramble together something almost worth watching. 75$ for first price and that entry might not even be worth 75$.
Just say'n.

It's surprisingly easy to lose motivation or get bored a short time after entering a contest. It was that way for me during the Underground one, anyway.
Me and Tango BARELY finished what we wanted. We were originally planning to make the whole movie.
Guess what motherfuckers.
Everyone gets a prize. Except me.
(I'm giving Sanctum to the 4th place)
Thats like, worth a single coffee at starbucks! Good deal bro, good deal.
