Start map, maybe. 

incredible. 

gorg mfx 

awesome, i'd love to see a map that is composed of a dozen of those floating chunks, different sizes, where you have to travel from chunk to chunk. Mmaybe using wind-tunnel type launchers, or maybe by riding various moving platforms/ferries, or maybe the chunks move closer and farther based on the wind, like in bioshock infinite. 

That is exactly the plan, some hanging wooden bridges, some stone arches, floaters in between, ladders, chains, and a new gadget to explore it all... 

no grappling hook. I promise. 

I always liked the concept of a treetop city, like what the ewoks had on endor, or "tree top town" stage of donkey kong country.

Having said that I don't think it would easily lend itself to a quake map, maybe deathmatch, but it's probably a bit tight for monster combat. 

Each year I think that people have done the cool stuff and explored all the cool styles in Quake and anything further will just be a improvements and rehashes (no bad thing).

And then MFX does something like that....okay so maybe it is the same old textures, maybe people have done enough floaters before (I did a massive one after wednesday's stir fry), but fuck me that just looks so good. 

What a beauty. Awesome job, man. 

We need coag4. 

in between the floating architecture, you should have a piece of a large tanker ship, and it should be connected to the other islands with big drooping chains that you run across. 

To anyone interested, the final version of that level is:

Almost no lighting so far. I wanted to make a small map, but it turned out to be pretty large 

Just wow. 

 

Lovely. Love all the layered geo, that's going to look amazing... 

i love that metal texture used as trim in circular designs. wonderful! 

Trimgasm! 

that looks awesome. I much prefer small maps with detail like that than huge maps with plainess everywhere. 

Good luck! Hope this marks your triumphant return to quake mapping! 

 

Gotta love it. Beautiful. 

Because I have pressing matters to attend to -

You better have rolling boulders around the corner from there. 

Interesting, good stuff.
