Installation:
Pop into a new subfolder in your Quake folder called 'timewarp'. Play with
Ironwail (also tested with JoeQuake). The map's name is also 'timewarp'.
Description:
You've been captured by the Chthon cult for dark slipgate experiments.
But these aren't regular slipgates - these enable travel through time. However,
the cult may have bitten more than they can chew when they decided to experiment
on you...
Description, non lore:
My first map (for anything ever), which grew out of control. I can only apologize.
My hope is that this inspires better mappers to use instant teleporter magic in a similar
manner, though I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
This is a gimmick map: through the magic of Alkaline instant teleports, a player
controlled time machine that allows jumping between past and future is present in
many places in the level. Use the machines by shooting the shootable buttons.
Use this time travel ability to solve combat puzzles and find 4-dimensional secrets! Wow!
When you switch timelines, the timeline you left becomes 'frozen' - enemies remain in
place. Use this to your advantage when fighting!
The map is focused on exploration, and so skill 0 is recommended. The higher skills
require mastery of the gimmick and finding secrets to even be possible to finish,
though seasoned Quake players might welcome the challenge.
The time warp can be a little janky: you cannot teleport into an occupied space, the
teleport will throw you back. This is sadly a limitation of the instant teleport
system, at least as-is.
Huge thanks to CommonCold and Lobotomy-Lobster for playtesting; bmFbr for help with
using Alkaline; and Tei for the flash of inspiration.
