Rough around the edges, but still well above mediocre. Lovely visuals and some good, tough secrets (I missed one beardman shootable button somewhere). Encounters are a bit wonky. For example, you often lock the player in a really small room with a couple of mobs, leaving no tactical choice but to just run around in circles. Shambler and a vore simultaneously? C'mon! A room with a vore and not a single column to hide behind? What the hell! Those are just plain bad encounters — players should have a choice in how to approach them. For example that SNG arena was fine — I had enough room to maneuver and decide whom to kill first. Also I liked the stairway-enclosed battles with ogres — those were nice. In the end I think the map deserves some praise, but it could be better. I'll be following your future maps!

Good map. I felt smrt finding 3 of the secrets myself, and had to use some showbboxes to find the rest.

The button in the library arena has some wonky collision (I had to hit it like 6 times to actually trigger it) and I'm supposedly missing 1 secret somewhere but it didn't detract.

Fantastic map, even had genuine spookiness moments. The secrets are diabolically hidden.

What a beautiful map. Excellent use of textures. Complex but easy to navigate. Monster placement is challenging and secret hunting is fun. A true AD masterpiece. Five stars!
Awesome map, very comfy textures and I LOVE SECRET HUNTING

Fun little map that felt like a good way to slowly get back into Quake. Secrets were definitely a bit too well-hidden for me (couldn't find the final three shootable wall decorations), but I may just be terribly rusty.

Pretty neat "Castle" map. I like it.
Good lighting, quite reasonable monster placement, neat architecture. Keeps by and large within the theme (Guys with guns in a medieval setting?). Good lighting and sound effects.
Only small glitches e.g. a outside window - on the other side, there is just a wall?
All in all good!
Thanks for Your effort, and thanks for sharing!
Very nice map with great brushwork. If everything had been a bit bigger and more spacious, I think it would have been even more noticeable.

The secrets were a bit too well hidden for my taste. I did a second round and only found one. I normally find around 50% on average without looking for them.

Nevertheless, a great map. Thank you very much.

Excellent map/idea.
Not enough dynamics and some mass with secrets.
Thank you.
