Urantia

Urantia is a map I started as a way to practice Trenchbroom for fun and a bit for Godot, because I am interested in creating projects with the engine. In short, the map was going to be a backrooms level but the more I try to make a Backrooms map and explore what has been done, I prefer to distance myself from the concept.

Urantia takes place in a water purifier facility, where the god (Shambler) Urantia is leading the water experiments behind it, guarded by her knights. The map was always aimed to be short and I decided to split away from the Sandy Petersen formula of putting traps and tricking the player, altho it has "some" of it (this is because i did this in my first 3 maps and i was new into making Quake maps).

There is a more detailed .docx inside the file.

I'm dumb!
After playtesting the original Urantia release, I let the v2 update completely pass me by. It made the map more lively. The new texture at the beginning look way nicer, and there are several small encounters in the central open area when items are picked up. Those were absent from the original version, which had been on my regular rotation of maps since before release. Now you can make a giant encounter in that room.

I love the included music for this map. If you wish to play this on Quake Enhcanced, it is compatible, but the included mp3 won't play and must be converted to ogg.

I ain't a big gamedev yet but... Urantia will return in Alkaline.

Thank you for always being awesome Mopey ! and thanks to Yoder for the feedback so this version could improve.
I really like the combination of text and minimalist brushwork to describe a story. The combat is incidental punctuation rather than the meat of the map, which is a nice change.

Hey Zarat! yes, Urantia was mean't to be more of a narration at times than actions, reasons why (as i've said in the docs) i limited myself to using Knights and close quarter encounters... Thank you, i appreciate that you liked it, btw i love cats ( so every Quake mapper and speedrunner) ... cheers!
I liked the tubes very much. Unfortunately, the map was very short and on skill 2 also very very easy.
