Really have to say single player Quake is still my favorite FPS of all time. All of you guys have outdone yourselves but I think Consciousness Outpost was my favorite of the bunch. I really love the Contract Revoked/Quoth/Warpspasm theme of Warhammer 40K esque gothic daemonolatry mashed up with high technology and I wish this was more explored and fleshed out in mainstream Sci-fi and video games. Absolutely epic, mindblowing and ponderous imagery. I'm sure HPL himself would be stunned.
Jam9 Trailer Finished
As I said before, I wanted to have this ready for QuakeCon but I still think this is worth sharing, re-tweeting and getting out there even now over a month after release.

Happy to answer questions about how this was produced.
WOW !

That's Amazing.
Maybe now somebody will finally find the secret in the area of my map that appeared first.
Thumbs Up!

Left a comment on the vid, felt it was unnecessary to copy/paste it here.

I want you to know that I went back and did all secrets playthroughs of all the maps (except Shotro's because I'll need a whole free day just to try that!). So none of that went to waste!

Have you recorded demos/videos of these 100% secrets playthroughs?
The HD Texture Pack For Jam 9 Is Released!

If some of you are interested, head over there. Of course, it also works with the original Contract Revoked.

No Demos I'm Afraid

I suspect they'd make for really dull viewing I'm afraid, lots of shooting at random stuff, wandering around completed levels trying to find something of interest. Nicely prepared "runs" when I beat the level while visiting all the secrets (now that I know where they are) would be good but an extra level of effort to go to.
@mugwump
I almost linked to that but knew there'd be a certain contingent that was instantly snooty about it. Good for you for at least making the attempt.
Yeah, I Was Prepared For Some Flak
#281 posted by Mugwump on 2017/09/06 18:46:22
but decided to post anyway. I remember another HD pack (advertised by someone else than me) got at least some positive feedback here, so I figured this one could interest some people.
At any rate, even though I disagree, I can understand that some can perceive a dichotomy between vanilla Quake map architecture and HD textures, but the complexity of recent maps has mostly erased that dichotomy out of existence.

i'll give it a whirl after arcane dimensions.
Here Is A Demo

i like the map, not sure if i played it the right way tho, skill 0
For The Record
I hate what those textures look like on my map but that's fine. If it means a few more people check out jam9 it's worth it.
HD Textures.
#285 posted by Shambler on 2017/09/09 10:37:07
They don't like look quite right, and not just for the objective dichotomy between map architecture and texturing (nor for that matter the same dichotomy between monster / model / prop texturing and hd wall texturing). The brick and tile textures have too much contrast and too obvious gaps / shadows around the bricks etc. It makes them look quite cartoony and a bit distracting. The non-HD fuzziness / blurriness overrides that, usually.
#286 posted by skacky on 2017/09/09 15:12:23
These textures really don't look good at all but that's not really the point here. The point is People have had to use the original textures to build their maps. Replacing them with any other textures simply betrays the whole point of the jam in the first place, especially when the replacements are of vastly inferior quality. You don't get the intended experience and you, probably unconsciously, think that the hard work of the original artist and the mappers isn't good enough for you.

I agree but there's nothing you can do about it so why bitch? You can't even effectively discourage people from using them. HD textures suck - they look like shit IMO but coming from a business that's entirely subjective (entertainment) I get that someone else may think our 21 year-old game looks like shit and needs to be updated. Again, I disagree but I am willing to bet the number of people that use this texture set is tiny. So big fucking deal. If one more person plays my map because of these textures I am fine with it. I mean fuck I hate that anyone would play my map in Darkplaces but many people will and have. Nothing I can do about it.
Packaged Version
#288 posted by Preach on 2017/09/10 18:32:17
While I know that this board isn't really the audience for this, the "packaged" version is finally done.
https://tomeofpreach.wordpress.com/quoth/map-packs/
One more useful bit of news for the thread is that it contains a revised version of ShoTro's map, which I expect he'll share with the thread separately so you don't have to redownload the whole pack to get it. The first rune in particular is a lot better balanced for an "intro mission", and there are lots of nice tweaks. As a side effect, while testing it I did a 100% playthrough, so now I've found all the secrets in the pack!
@Preach
Great news. I will add it to my links advertised in the trailer.
Package Version

Hi,
Just tested the map pack ! Pretty amazing pack from what I saw. Tested both the package version and the "normal" version. The Quoth packague version (jam9.pak) seems to have at least shotro map not updated ;) Sorry if this was the wrong place to post, just figured I'd warn about this.
Mistake

Nevermind, my bad, it's actually the opposite :S
