I also had a lot of fun with your first Quake map and you've done it exceptionally well. I was able to find a few secrets and I was very impressed with the starting area, as well as the rest of your map. The battles were well placed and it never got boring. I also really enjoyed the jump and run sections in the room with the moving platforms. In the end, I got a little lost, but in the end I mastered the map. I'd love more of this map quality...

Pretty good. Nice use of the powerups. Felt a little under-detailed for the texture set, which I thought was a bit of a shame given how nice some of the angled layout work and architectural ideas are.

Great first map! Quite linear like the description says, but the combat encounters are very fresh and fun, and the visuals are tasteful and well-constructed. I get the impression that the author has either mapped for another game or played a lot of Quake maps; if not, then it's all the more impressive! I only found 2 of the secrets, which probably made it feel more stingy with the resources (especially armour) than it otherwise would have. I also found the bit with the moving platform over slime a little annoying. Plays very well with Copper, despite the lightning gun at the end of the map, which I would have had much more cells for in vanilla. In Copper I just had to be more reserved with it, which was still fun.

Very cool serious sam influenced map. It's heavy on the 'large fights with hordes of enemies', but each of the different fight are all interesting and unique in their setups.

This is a great map. Had a lot of fun playing this map. Never got boring, Difficulty at 'hard' was ok. Loved the quad runs that help a lot to deal with the Shamblers.

will replay to find the last secret.

Today is a really fun weekend! I'm playing my fourth high-quality map today, and this one is no exception either! The map developers probably conspired to post them all in one day.

A wonderful map, my applause for your efforts!

Hi there, just played your map. Very foreboding athmosphere. the music makes it even more creepy. i liked the overall usage of the textures and the layout. Was able to find one of the secrets. I found the final area a little tricky to navigate as i was not able to hear the demons spawning in...in the area i tried to go back but the teleport wasnt working...I ran out of shotgun ammo i think 3 times, but this might be due to my terrible skill. The first demon right at the start killed me a couple of times im ashamed to say .

I look forward to playing more of your maps.

This is an amazing map! It's cool done! It's good that it didn't get into the "Rotting Jam" pack and you had time to refine it to perfection. One thing only upsets - there are too many shamblers on the map and the player comes to the final battle almost empty and beaten.

Well done! It's really a huge map with meat arenas. Dude, you're a master at hiding secret areas. I found only two myself. I found five more using the "noclip" command. I didn't find two areas. But only a master of sports in jumping will be able to get to several places. The only thing upsetting is the lack of a rocket launcher. Or maybe I just didn't find it. ))

fun map, a nice adventure though a castle and then weird shit goes down

First of all, congratulations on your first release. It's always great when creative people come around with new maps so I have something to play. Many thanks for that.



I liked the map very much, unfortunately I found it very easy on skill 2. For my taste it could use more monsters to give the great architecture more exciting fights. Killing Knights with enough room to move backwards isn´t so much fun. I found the secret, but at a time were it was useless for me. Besides that, its a wonderfull first realease. I liked the lava jumping part at the beginning. Not hard, but adds to the atmoshpere. Looking forward to your next map.

The level is well done, except for the flashing texture on the elevator at the platform with the hell knight. But there are too many extra files in the archive. It is better not to include your development files and unnecessary music tracks that are not used in the archive, because it takes up too much space.

Loved this, one of the best episodes in Quake's mapping history. The feel and aspiration of episode 4 is celebrated, amplified and reinvented here with a great deal of care and love. Inventive trap setups, insane geometry, ambushes, ambience and music, even dreaded spawns are well utilized here to create a brutal otherworldly dimension.

Diyu in particulars bursts with ambition. A huge non linear episode-in-itself, it is like an "open world" on Quake's terms, and expertly realized at that. I've found 14 keys but funnily enough now I think that I shouldn't have indulged myself and should have left earlier after carving my own unique path. Somehow, methodical exploration diminished an overwhelming, almost mythical feel this sprawling level has. But it may be just me.

Other highlights for me were the Family Tree, Arcana and the final arena in the penultimate level. I am conflicted on usage of particles to signpost the path through the level. Sometimes they are used well, like in Diyu to indicate that an area does (or doesn't) still have a key. But sometimes these particles feel like a crutch because the area design is too convoluted or consequences of button press are not obvious.

My complimets to music artists involved, the soundtrack is a perfect kind of dark, troubled ambient that enhances the episode's atmosphere.

Thanks, zigi and Newhouse, it was a joy to play!

Odd choice of sound effect for a castle do...

Ah. I see.

Go in blind.

I enjoyed this map as much as the last time I played it which I can't recall when that was.

I give it 0 clears out of how many of those fucking things are in clear alley.

Cute garden, very basic. Solid though I'd do more next time.

Some maps made me feel lost for a long time, while others were intuitive enough to play without any problems. Overall it's a good pack.

One of the best jams I've ever played. The massive majority of maps were of excellent quality across the board.

Excellent job!!!

WAR, IGNORANCE, FREEDOM

This is excellent. With Ironwail compiled from master and an uncapped framerate w/ no vsync it ran flawlessly.

I did not find all the secrets or collectibles so I'm not sure if it has an AD mega secret.
