Thanks for this nice map pack.
Here are a few suggestions, since I feel the version I downloaded could benefit from some small improvements :
• Came here to find the maps list, with maps author/name/
version. I think such a file should be included in the archive (text format)
• Pack's Readme was also lacking a version number.
This might have been addressed by now (I had downloaded "qbj.zip" from some YT link, but... can't even know without proper versionning.)
Anyway, just downloaded the 1.05 pack, and it's the same. A simple date, and/or 1.x number would do !
Naming the zip isn't enough, since even when keeping them, extracted contents can be mixed-up if not versioned.
Both those points look crucial to me. For the authors, and for us to know whether we could use some fix.
• The hall (Ruinous stones/start) is a work of art, but in term of QOL, I'd much prefer a simple unique room with maps organized in rough categories. This could simply have been added in an easily accessible secret "shortcuts" room, and could help a lot not getting lost / forgetting which map I liked, etc.
• Also, I think the white portals are an interesting sight (and help noticing levels), but I'd wish I got some "preview pic" of the level, for memorizing what is what. (This could replace the white portals on close inspection, or be put as decorations next to the door... whatever)
Since those pictures seem to already exist (

• Oh, and the hall map's name should be
qbj_start ! More consistent, and this would also ease autocomplete when typing "map xxxx" !

Anyway, great work already, and best wishes for 2024 !
