Quad Lake Castle

My first Quake map featuring a castle surrounding a lake.
There's 3 main fights involving Quad Damage, and a few rooms involving light platforming.

Tested in Ironwail 0.7.0, but should work in other ports.
Texture WADs used:
id.wad
skips_2018.wad
charlie.wad (inside zip)

A fantastic map! Larger than I expected, and with some really engaging fights. I appreciate the attention to decorating and detailing on the walls and love the central flooded courtyard area, and the way that the player continues to revisit it throughout the map. Nice work!
This is great! Got 100% (although didn't get the LG until after i completed everything else). Some areas were a little dark, but overall, great secrets and fun quad runs. Looking forward to your future maps.
Really liked this retro-style map, it seems it was as much of a joy mapping it as it is playing it. Exploration is fun and progression is not tedious, although I could only find 3/9 secrets on a semi-rushed first playthrough. Main thing to note is that some corners are very dark and could have possibly used the tiniest bit of lighting. The quad runs also feel good to go through. For a first release this is honestly great, geometry is mostly good, not many places to abruptly get stuck on. I think some slipgate textures are possibly missing. In most places damage is not taken when falling through one, except for one place you do which is just a little inconsistent. Eager for future releases.
