A Room With A View

A Room With A View
--------------by drmelon

This is my first Quake map. It's a short 3-minute singleplayer map where the player must escape from a jail to a lighthouse that they can see from the cell's window.
I made this in about 3 days, to teach myself the basics of using Trenchbroom and EricW's tools. Thank you so much to everyone for your tips, advice, and interesting tutorials.
I had a lot of fun making this map, and I'd love to make more. I hope you have fun, and please leave me some feedback!

This map has been tested in the Steam release of Quake and in Ironwail.

Not much to add to the previous ratings. It's understandably crude for a first map, but what there is, is charming and enjoyable. Glad to see you've uploaded another map already. Going to check that out next.
Short and sweet. I liked it, may be a good idea to have a longer encounter on the last stretch
Yeah. I escaped. What a great little map. I think the atmosphere would have benefited if you'd stuck with Grunts, Ogres and Dogs. I'm looking forward to the next map.
A short and funny map and I like it.
Thanx, ludicrous
Very cute map.
Short & sweet, definitely need more "prison break" maps. Wish there were more enemies on the higher difficulties to make use of the space at the end. I dig the idea of bringing the quad up with you but I think it would have been better to reverse the position with the rocket launcher.

Thanks for the feedback! I wasn't certain about the quad's placement myself; it definitely could be swapped, I agree.
I'm going to experiment more with difficulty settings in my next map, I think! I'd like to make some puzzle elements with harder solutions at higher difficulties as well as enemy encounters..!
For being a first map i like it! the brushwork and enemy encounters are really good, also i liked how short and puzzle-y it is , that has been one of my focus with my maps, the thing i didn't catch upon was that the door (one of the lasts) doesn't have a sound, a nuance i presume.

Judging this as a short map adventure is amazing! keep it going :)
