This is my second map. So don't expect it to be a great map, or anything close. I'm still learning Hammer.
Anyways, its a small house with a pool in the backyard.

I would really appreciate CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, I'm really looking for some constructive feedback.
Thanks in advance.
Best advice i can give is to go outside and look at some houses. They are not all just made from square blocks. Add curves, add props, add detail.
Your house also has no windows?
I never really figured out how to make curves (which explains the blockiness) but I have no excuse for me not putting windows. I guess that was just me being dumb, haha. I'll keep all that in mind, thanks.
Not anything special, keep working on it man.
Learn how to make curves if you dont know how to
Hey, it's me, xFROzENFUSiONx.
Just add curves, details, and props, like they said, it it would be so much nicer.
And all of that stuff I typed up on the gmod.org comment site.
Doorframes, details, windows. Start there.

Don't stretch your wall textures so much.
Quit mapping or quit releasing. You choice !

What's the point of this post ? You just told him to read what people said above and you also told him to read comment on garrysmod.org what he will do anyways.
Useless post.

Obviously here you are a useless person.
I'd like to see an updated version of this, private or released.

Yes, because a house map has never been made before, we surely need another one.

You're supposed to tell him what to improve on and give him C&C, not just bat-shit insult him, what are you 12?
Mhmm, an insult about age, you must be what, retarded?

Netheous is right, releasing your first maps is a horrible idea.

I think trolling people is cool too!
I want to see how he has improved. Obviously no one else does, considering you are all just flaming him.

The point is, my first map that I made never got released, my over 20th map got released and it was my first map that I put on wild. He probably release first thing he placed skybox on.

Go and learn the definition of flaming please.

Telling him not to release his first maps = Advice.
Pretty much what most have said before, add detail, windows, doorframes, trees outside.
And make the inside walls a little fatter, they look like they are made of paper now.

Well actually when you get right down to it houses IRL are pretty blocky, i'm making a house for a cs map and ive been trying to make it look a bit less blockey with curves here and there, but looking at my own house (IRL) its hard to find many 'curves'.
Definatley needs some more detail, props etc, but pretty good for your second, keep trying.
Just posting my opinion here.
1 - Telling someone to just never map again isn't very constructive. It isn't anything I'd ever download but Its a nice attempt. That being said practice a little privately before releasing. And by a little I mean a lot.
2 - The other things Nethiouse and Spinxas said are all pretty much true. Gmod would be alot faster without thousands of unused content clogging up the site. And they have a very good point by mention how terrible of an idea it is to post your first map.
3 - That being said you guys should try to maybe sound a bit less... eh, elitist. That's the best word for it. You both sound like very angry elitist trolls that want nothing more to put someone down.
4 - I'm not saying you are. I'm saying that's what you come off like by the way you say things. Except for Nethiouse's first post everything you've mentioned is true but you should read what you type and ask yourself how this sounds to you. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Just because this is on the internet doesn't mean that no longer applies.
5 - A house is a bit overdone concept wise. Look around and see what hasn't been done before. Start off small and work your way up. After your confident enough that your map is good enough for a public release publish it and get the public's reaction. If its good, then good for you! If it isn't desirable then keep the next few maps unreleased and try again when you get better. You have potential but you just need to refine your work.
6 - Good luck to you!
Guys, Stop being such asses, I think when everyone makes their first maps they want to release them because they are proud.

That's a very observant viewpoint. I agree

But can't they see it's crappy and fullbright?

Well, If you look at someone elses map and it's like a blocky house you think it's awful, But if you make it yourself then you think wow it's awesome because of the fact you made it yourself. But I guess everyone learns after a bit that you should never release your first map because it turns into a rage thread.
