    This map look great and I'm a fan of simple layouts so I'm not too affected by the design, however I wouldn't mind seeing an attempt at adding another room to the mix or altering the shape to something a hint less symmetrical.

    My only real gripe is the ****ing sound FX. Holy **** did I want to kill myself being in there. Especially the flies. Nobody I know has ever liked being stuck in a room full of flies. It's madding.

    Let me give you a little sound advice. (see what I did there? subtle right) Since there is no volume control for our sound FX, what you need to do is to use distance as a means of volume control. Unless you have a huge map or they give us a volume control on the flies FX, never use it. The Flies sound FX is more subtle and it has a much shorter sound radius. Most of the time IRL we don't see the bloody fly that is making the noise anyway so it's no biggy. Birds are seldom sitting on our laps singing away so their calls should always be at a distance. Basically what you want to do is move the sound out of range and then bring it back in just enough to fill the area that you intend it to.

    For example, I deleted you're birds in the Silo and dragged the other birds over your damaged roof, high above the highest point on your map. This made it somewhat inaudible from the main room with all the noise in there but still audible from the rest of the map. The flies sound Fx I put part way down below the ledge in the Silo so they didn't seem like they were invisible flying around my head. I also threw in a cricket sound fx near the outside your window just for the hell of it.

    Please seriously consider my advice, and for the love of god kill those ****ing flies.
