You can do better.

Raise the light in the last screenie and add lightsources to the others. THe level design look ok, but could be inproved by simple things. Lighting could also be improved, with variety of different lights.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things that I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Looks like someone already did hit their head on it. Pretty hard.

Your signature has been erased by a mod because of the forum's stupidly tiny restrictions, along with other things such as lack of automatic image resizing, and lack of embedding videos.

It looks decent for a start, but I think you should position the entities less random, but still more randomly.
Its hard to explain exactly what I mean, but you should think of what scenery you actually would find in a specific room. Then move and rotate the entities to look like someone actauuly use/used them.

Hope you get what I mean...

To Cyborg ART : I understand what you mean but I have so few junk entities so it's pretty hard to get that abandoned felling.

I've changed the story a litle bit.
Under that great battle (2013) Richard and his men was in disadvantage.The leaders of the military knowed that if they lose this battle all zombies will come deeper in USA so they decided to send a at nuclear bomb to kill all the zombies(including Richard and his men).Richard survived so now he want's revange on the leaders.He must fight his way trough all zombies to the base and kill the leaders.

I wonder why I never saw the snapshot 7 before. Well, II think I wasn't missing much, because it's just a red light in the middle of nowhere. Just, post screenies of scenes that actually show something.

You have my sympathy pal - you are another victim of the FPSC Engine Curse*

And somehow I have the impression, that the WIP section has allready more posts about game build errors than the Bug Report section....

Here's some tips for lighting because I happen to be pretty good at that..

Most people have the idea that for a game to be scary or horror themed, it has to be really dark. Contrary to popular belief, that's not necessarily true; it helps sometimes but if the whole game is dark then it's just annoying.
The trick to making it creepy is to have plenty of places where things are well lit, it provides contrast. If the whole level is dark, well it just looks like a dark level. If you have a flashlight that's one thing but even then. But if you have lots of lights, players will feel uneasy when they suddenly have to go into a dark place. A general rule of would be that if a room doesn't need to be dark then don't make it dark.

You seem to have lights in all the right places for the most part so what I'll suggest is to make all your lights much brighter. The way it is right now it's sort of hard to tell if they're lights or just ambient lighting. Increase the brightness and that makes shadows more visible too. You want it so that where there are lights, all the details in the environment are visible (textures, models, etc.).
For example in screenshot #10, if you make that light way brighter it'll feel like a safe place because now you can see well. You let your guard down slightly making it the perfect time to make a zombie pop out from the darkness from one of the corners. Psychology plays a big role in the use of lighting, use it to your advantage.

@Jingle Fett : I know what you mean (I've played doom 3 and it is very dark but not scary)

I could change the lightning but first i need to get build level to work !

Well, I think if you try some other segments? There seems to be some problem on the one(s) you are using right now. Just change one segment at a time and you'll fing the flaw there.

You need to make the signature smaller, or it will be deleater by a mod.

120x600 is teh max. 120 beaing the height and 600 being the width.
