Delete old version before installing new.

There are some custom textures hence the large file size.

There are secret areas behind/inside the couch, inside the island counter and inside the island shelf.

The map is still a work in progress.  I'll post updates as the come.

Any comments or criticism are welcome.

Also I'm having troubles getting light entities to work with both 3D World Studio and Torque Constructor.  I get an error on compile.  Anyone else have similar issues?
Figured it out.

My comment is improve the lighting

Looks good so far, what is still being added since its a WIP?

Was considering a piano or grandfather clock in the dining area to help make that part more interesting.  Also other miscellaneous details..

Looks good, I like it so far.
One suggestion from me though is maybe get some counter tops, like maybe a tile or granite texture, because right now when i see the counters i think of a bunch of wooden crates placed side by side.

But overall I really like the setup, has good areas to build in.

I can see the inspiration from the bedroom map, and With a little polish, this would be an excellent companion to the map. I agree, that the lighting has to be improved. You should also add more "House objects" Such as plants, an TV (With enough space to build over the monitor, if you can), And possibly, some cubord space in the kitchen. however, dont add TOO much. Limit yourself to three "Extra" objects to each room (Not counting furniture, lights, or tables). Those things can be built serverside, and can even become a sort of "game" where everyone adds something to the rooms.

And most importantly, release the next version adequitely. Dont rush releasing the next version of the map, nor drag out the release for long periods of time.

Good luck!

NINJA EDIT: Also, you should add "Artificial lighting" above the dining table. Something like lightbulbs, lamps, ect.

also, make it have the bedroom in one part
that is the best way to improve
EDIT: needs more textures :(

It's nice could you try to add more detail to the couch? Epic for a W.I.P

tell me if this is a common bug, but Blockland crashes when I load this map.  Can I fix it or not?
It's every map.  It only happened after I downloaded this map though.

Epic Win, but Jay is right, needs better lighting.
