Taking inspiration from sites like TF2Maps.net and Doomworld, Slipgate Sightseer aims to be a unified place where all community members can post their creations regardless of form.
The Quake community's strength has always been in it's sheer dedication to the game, however with the rising popularity of Discord this passion is lost to outsiders and people otherwise interested in our community. On top of this, we have lost searchability across the community as a whole, anyone who has had the displeasure of hunting down an obscure texture set knows this problem all too well.
In time we hope the site will become an easy one stop shop for all things Quake, including texture wads, QC snippets, 3D models, maps and mods, and the discussion thereof.
Being a beta, we do hope you'll give your critiques and suggestions to us in the Beta Suggestions & Discussion forum!
Rules
Discord
While this site was created as a escape from the closed-off architecture "black hole of information" that Discord has become, it is still a good community resource for more general discussions and connecting with creators and players alike. While there are many Discord servers for Quake, the most general and popular one is the Quake Mapping Discord. While not directly affiliated with Slipgate Sightseer, it shares many moderators and community members, and is a great place to have on your server list if Discord is a must for you.
