Expendable

A short, 10 minute single-player map for intermediate players. Difficulty levels have not been implemented (sorry)

I tried to think a lot more about combat encounters and general overall flow and pacing of the map. I hope it shows. I had a blast polishing this one up and kept coming back to chip away at it. This has been my favourite map to work on so far.

If there are any issues you notice, drop me a line, and I'll update the map over time!

Hadn't made a map in a while - it's good to be back at it again :)

Pretty amazing little map. As far as id1 Quake releases can go, this is really nice. Texturing and detailing is really good.

Gameplay is solid for a very standard Quake, but something is missing there and I can't figure it out. There are couple surprises, but maybe that is the thing that it just doesn't surprise you a lot more? It was so good that I wanted more? Hard to say haha. Secrets were also simple but neat.

I went back to replay this to find all secrets and gather more thoughts. I like that there is a little bit of nonlinearity here too. You can totally skip one of the sections and a locked door. So, yeah it is just a really solid small map. Well done!

The compactness of this map is excellent. Maybe remove ammo and health for the (not yet existing) higher difficulties? I got stuck on some walls, those could be polished out i feel. Other than that, a great map!

What a great map. You feel threatened and under pressure all the time without the map feeling like a big horde fight. There was far too much health and ammo for my liking so everything felt very easy. Other than that, I had a blast. Thank you.

The map is made very well, but there are some mistakes. At least on the "QSS" engine, both with vanilla models and with improved ones. In the initial corridors, including the intersection with three doors and the room with the golden door, all models move at a distance of 10 centimeters from the floor. The same thing happens with bodies and backpacks. They also float in the air. Then everything looks normal in the other rooms.

overall a great map which is fun to play.

Lots of fun, my only complaint is that maybe you are a bit too generous with pickups. The visual design is gorgeous and the end battle was a lot of fun.
