I picked map-making back up during the 2020 lockdowns, setting a massive challenge to translate a real-world historic ruin into Quake.
The castle in question is Newbury, Berkshire’s historic Donnington Castle ruins. The castle was a major strategic stronghold during the English Civil War, where it endured a brutal 20-month siege before finally surrendering to Parliamentarian forces in 1646. Today, only the striking twin-towered gatehouse remains standing as a protected ruin under the care of English Heritage.
Life threw just about everything at me during its lifespan - two career changes, a new kid, and surviving a bilateral pulmonary embolism and a CVST stroke. But sticking with the geometry and obsessing over retro engine constraints kept me grounded.
Whether you're a history nerd, an old-school mapper, or just a fan of stubborn passion projects, I'd love for the community to give it a run and give feedback on the brushwork or lighting.

A QuakeWorld client for the 30th anniversary of Quake.
The goal is to stay compatible and fully playable in competitive QW without dropping the classic look and feel.

Quetoo development officially began in January 2007. But really, Quetoo was born out of a dorm room in the late 1990s — a time when Quake wasn’t just a game, it was an obsession. In the early 2000’s, the open source release of the Quake engine taught a generation how to write code, how to build maps and map compilers, how renderers worked, and how to think in 3D. For many, us included, Quake was a doorway to lifelong friendships and careers in software development or game design.
Decades later, Quetoo is our counterpoint to the modern arena shooter. Quetoo’s gameplay is not mathematically balanced. The arenas are not starkly lit techno-voids, and when you blow your buddies up, their giblets bounce off of jump pads and fly through teleporters. Quetoo exists to make Quake fun again.

Map resurrection time at ..::LvL - Two older releases have found their way to the archive. One is all serious and only wants to talk about clean shots, the other is more aware of the fun side of Q3A.
* The CPM Base by Cyberdemon
* Alien World by Geit
LiveView, video and panorama for each. Enjoy!
