Tower of Minak

awesome map

Just only now got to playing this and this is absolutely impressive in detail and how Makkon's textures are used is just stunning. Liked how the layout takes you for a spin and it is sometimes hard to tell where you are in the space. There might be a small softlock situation related to the silver key, if you find the secret pathway while the combat encounter is active, previous door doesn't open. I Resorted to noclip back to the silver key balcony.

Anyways, gameplay was solid and pretty good use of AD features. Liked some creative secret placement. Fun to explore as well.

Outstanding first map. Looking forward to other new things from the author.

Truly outstanding map. Built with finesse, rich with atmosphere, highly immersive & very fun to play.

Whoa ...this is this dude's first Quake map? Very impressive!

Looks good, plays well, good interconnectivity, and some fun puzzle-platform bits. I only had one brief moment where I thought "Where the Hell do I go now?" Really well done overall. Probably my only critique would be add a song & read_me file. Look forward to see more from radhsar!

I'm enjoying this recent spate of midsize AD maps.

Had a fun trip through this one... some neat route finding and looping around. Really strong start and mid, maybe runs out of steam a bit at the very end but overall good stuff.

I liked a lot of the presentation too. One kind of random thing I wanted to mention is good use of windows to open up a space, give you previews of other areas, and generate some parallax effects. Also the view of the mega-arch at the beginning was something I particularly liked for some reason; that megalithic structure with the strong sunset lighting reminded me of some old sci-fi Michael Whelan paintings I think.

Would give 5*, but I couldn't find the exit and spent too much time looking for it.. it's kinda hidden off the side behind the corner in the final area, pretty unintuitive.

Very nice maze with a decent look and lighting!
7/8, even the fisherman was found, but couldn't get to the bottom plasma gun at all

A very good thought-out map. It was not easy and the puzzles very interesting to go through, especially the secrets of 7/8. A lot of monsters is what I love the most. Respect

1.1 without softlock. Played with QS.

In my opinion, one of the best AD maps I played since ad_sepulcher.
Looks great and - most important for me - has the right balance between thinking and fighting. Permanent suspense guaranteed!

Moving platforms and shootable buttons are well thought out.

Secrets 5/8 and that's good with me, of cause. I would like to know if there's a bookshelf secret.

Thank you so much for this.

I got turned around a lot in this trying to figure out where to go, but it's a pretty good AD map

Pretty impressive layout and architecture for a first map. Had a lot of fun exploring rooms and corridors. Very challenging encounters, had to manage ammo several times. Five stars!

Really cool map. Inventive encounters, eye pleasing visuals, thickatmosphere. What else to wish for! Oh and secrets are really fun to search for. My fav part is the puzzle area with rising platforms & shootable buttons

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...

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!
