Waldsterben

With this map I tried to replicate a more organic environment. Gameplay-wise I wanted to see how far I could get with as little moving parts (like doors or platforms) as possible.

Thanks to:
Sven "ptoing" Ruthner for relaxed conversaions during mapping and for his keen eye spotting my mistakes,
and also for providing some additional ideas as well as the title for the map.

Lunaran for the Copper mod

MissLavender & SewerHrehorowicz for the nice tree bark texture.

Nice map, clever implementation of trees and forest theme into gameplay. Speaking of which, gameplay can be found here!

Nearly perfect map to my tastes. It looks good and plays good. Tons of inventiveness. Visually - simply the best forest made for Quake up to date; there's nothing out there as good as this one. One tiny grain of salt does exist - final battle is slightly not climatic enough. Could be longer or maybe something more memorable than what it is now. So it's like 4.5 stars. PS. Also since I am giant Blair Witch (original 1999 masterpiece) fan I adored the corresponding secret in here
A very unusual setting (for Quake) pulled off to near-perfection. Highly atmospheric with great combat and some pretty neat secrets, this was one of my favorite maps of 2022 and it's still just as good as I remember it.
