Wow, looking great. I really like the mood and you have done great job with cameras so far!
The biggest challenge is to adjust all the "action" in a way that player won't be in trouble if he is fighting etc. near camera changing points.
In my pc the lightning was ok -> no too dark areas.
btw. I was able to see "through" wall in one place but probably you have this under control already.
Keep up the good work!

I was checking my daily bandwidth usage just now. Assuming I'm reading it right, it appears that one person(out of around 80-90 new thread views) has downloaded the "demo"(thank you Don Pedro), since I posted it around 24 hours ago. I realize 24 hours isn't that long ago, but only 1 download has me scratching my head, since 9 times out of 10 a download post generates at least some response from the community in a few short hours.
To all who are interested, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at it. See about 5 posts up for information and the link.

I think it has more to do with the stealth link you put in. I had looked earlier, but the demo was no where to be found (silly me I looked at the start of the post). I assumed you had removed the link to do changes or what not. I just found it in the middle of the page, some what hidden. Take a look at it tomarrow, as the only constructive criticism I can offer right now is it needs more coffee and a comfortable bed in the corner.

Here's a 2-level 3rd person walkthrough for everyone to try out. This is hardcore WIP and nowhere near complete. Anything is a candidate for change, and I'm just after some FEEDBACK, since I'm still fairly early in development. If you are familiar with the series Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark, or Nocturne, then you will be familiar with this.
It's around 2.28MB and defaults to 1024x768:
http://www.orangebrat.com/thedisenfranchised.zip
Controls: Standard WASD to move and mouse to rotate the player. "W" will move the player forward no matter which direction it faces
To get to level 2, simply walk into the front door on the bottom floor. Also, there is a hallway in the front door corridor and you'll miss it if you walk immediately to the door.
Known issues:
1) Quantization error artifacts - those little, shadowy rectangular boxes are everywhere. JCL is working on something that should eliminate them.
2) Controls - currently it uses standard Resident Evil style controls. Other options are being considered as alternate methods
3) The dark - Yes, it is supposed to be THAT dark. Let me know if it is so dark that you can't see anything. If there is glare on your monitor it makes it harder to see, so the darker your surroundings the better. I will probably give the player a lightsource and/or implement gamma correction for the player to change. Simply adding more to the global ambient value destroys the mood I'm after, and ambience must be handled on a per face basis
