First Foundry Attempt

I'm not very good at this, so I'll make it short and to the point.
I've just finished my first attempt at making a foundry quest and was hoping I could get some plays/reviews on it. All I ask is you be kind because it's my first ever attempt at anything like this, but I won't deny helpful criticism. :)

Code: NW-DJWZQDVS7
Name: Usurp the Usurper
Approx run time: 16min
Type: Seeing as there is very little dialog (as I suck at it), I'd assume this to be considered a "hack and slash"

Thank you in advance if you do decide to give it a try.
And thank you even if you don't for at least hearing me out. :)

    Sure ill give it a go. Try my last one "Power of Justice." it could use a little more author feedback in return.
    Review Usurp the Usurper
    Very nice effort for a first foundry. Having created six now I hope you don't take the feedback I give the wrong way.
    Maps: Good maps you go back and forth between some generic and some hand made. I like your hand made maps better they where stronger.
    Story: Drow Male taking over a city. Might want to evoke lloth's wraith a bit. Overall how very drow like to hire some adventurer to kill the brother.
    Flow: Steady fights, decent transitions, easy to follow directions for the quest. Your portals to next maps needed a little work in the first map going to drow city and map leaving.
    Combat: Good variety of enemy scaled for a single player, lots of enemies so may be tough for dc.
    NPC's This was a combat driven quest so wasn't much along these lines. I always like drow intrigue so was a touch sad didn't see any twist but over all a decent story, good maps and solid combat.


    Errors
    1. Every Maps Transition: Go to Next Map, for immersion sake might want to change that.
    2. Portals add detail or two using fades, makes them look a lot better, or a generic archway.
    3. Add a few sounds. Especially a boss victory and boss music. May want to add a second stage to the boss battle.

    Great job for a first quest I enjoyed playing it.

    Thanks a lot for your input and I do intend to fix it up as I learn more about the Foundry. It's actually kind of funny you mention adding a second phase to the boss, because I actually did earlier lol :) The phase 2 is actually a lot more difficult as there are several extra mobs coming after you, but it is still very possible to solo.
    Thanks again for the feedback :) I actually forgot to run yours today, but I've written myself a sticky note to run it when I log on tomorrow :)
