Quake 30th Anniversary Limits Jam

I've really enjoyed all 16 maps over the past two weeks. Whether the creators were newcomers or veterans, everyone gave it their all. Some of the maps were challenging to play, but that—along with the variety of styles—is exactly what I liked about them.

I liked most of the maps, 2-3 I didn't like so much, as mostly in jams.
Solid fun.

Restrictions really breed creativity. Some of the most fun and varied maps I've played in a while. Sure some limits pose a challenge that force less details and big moments in maps, but with some clever planning authors managed make cool scenes and encounters.

My favorite maps were ones that really challenge you on gameplay. Map by H was really pushing difficulty with minimal design feeling like a classic Quake map, but much more attention demanding. Absolutely amazing map.

Several other maps also gave me great inspirations and ideas to build on top of. Just a joy to explore this jam as a player and a mapper.

Amazing map pack, really delivers that classic Quake feel

Most maps were fine, it's rare to see a Mazu map (Kurvaaja) to be the worst map of a pack. Was that shitty first room with the things pushing you in the void really necessary? Was it really necessary to put a gold key right behind the silver key door?

Softi's map was broken (after killing the 1st fiend on the final fight, it said "1 more to go", but the 2nd fiend (or whatever was to come next) did not spawn.

It's very impressive how much you can fit into 1.44MB of map.

Sometimes, especially in Mazu's larger map, it was almost too much (I did resort to noclipping around with show bounding boxes on to find out where I was supposed to go next, as I got lost in both), and some of the maps were arguably a little *hard* in Easy.

However, the actual triumph of making moderately modern-design-sensibility maps with the limits of the original levels outweighs this.

Perfectly done, Jam, with the taste of Professional Map Makers.
I love it.
Thank you, Guys, for your time and labor.

Great jam! Maps are really unique, universal.

Solid and varied, some very vanilla and some quite fresh with a lot of cute details. Loved the 2 Mazu maps, very open and tactical. Can't exactly think why but I really liked Azure Agony, especially the sewer, felt it had just enough nice moving parts with a nice art pass. I also liked that a few of these maps have a lot to explore with good secrets and quite lively combat, it's very impressive what can be done with the limitations. Mazu's floppies might have been 1.44tb though.
