I like the E1M1 shot. The varying roofline gives it a feeling of depth without looking like it went too far off of the feel of the original level. Keep up the good work. 

@ skacky - looking great, and having see the speedmap, I definitely trust you on consistency and build quality.


@ Fifth - still good but pretty simple, I do like the pure Id theme, although any twists with your own design would be great. 

@Tronyn: Breakfast is one of my main source of inspiration, especially the amazing outdoor areas.

@quakis: there is some climbing involved but nothing too crazy in terms of sheer height. There is one secret, however, that overlooks a whole area and that is very high up. The verticality is mostly used by monsters such as ogres and death guards to bombard the player from ledges above. Hard/Nightmare is a challenge thanks to them.

@quaketree: these are still work in progress, I'm not really satisfied with the way they look yet. 

I'm thinking of redoing a lot of what I have done. Here's the screenshots... it feels a bit massive when you're in the map, it's a nice scale but it feels a lot less "id" than map 1. What do you reckon?

You lack monsters.


Patrolling.







And ambient sounds, maybe. 

Looks good, don't scrap, keep it going. 

 

Looks really promising! 

so were you going for the Oneiros tyle from Undying? Cos it looked promising. 

Kinda like that, but it's loosely based off of the secret area from e1m2quoth, which was included in the pak files. 

how do you take screenshots like that? 

Press "+" ingame until the HUD is gone, and then use r_drawviewmodel 0. 

Heres my binds for screenshots, you can copy it into your config.

bind "o" "r_drawviewmodel 1;sizedown;sizedown;crosshair 2;echo Screenshot mode off"
bind "p" "r_drawviewmodel 0;sizeup;sizeup;crosshair 0;echo Screenshot mode on"

Sweet. 

Looks nice! 

Quoth base enemies in medieval world? No. Unless it's a transition start like E1M2.

Looks good otherwise. 

yesh the big white fluffy monster is right, no base. use tronyns little arrow shooting dudes if you want grunts, they're effectively replacements for the grunt/enforcer. 

actually e1m2quoth had a mix of base and medieval monsters, so I will have to play around with monster types until you guys like it. 

Looking really nice, nice terrain sculpting. Which editor are you using?

Like in e1m2, a few base details (crates and a slipgate) will make the base monsters look at home.

Bothers me that the waterfall is continually filling the small pool without it overflowing.
Besides that, looks really cool! 

Please keep the base enemies in the medieval setting. It's freaking quake, things don't have to make sense. I don't understand the aversion to mixing themes in a game that's such a thematic mess anyway (and all the better for it!).

And yeah... put a hole in the pool :)
