Someone might have to fix the url later or something? idk.

Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/CQtiV.jpg

Uhm, it's two maps, a start map, and some extra crap. Comes with its own progs and some stuff. Sources included. You can play the maps in any order, just go from the start map so you get the "story". Weapons don't carry over . (Vondur!!!!!)

Please play with fitzquake or quakespasm or something like that. These maps break lots of limits and also use fog quite heavily.

Hopefully it works as intended, if not, april fools, lol!

Editors Note: holy sex on a stick it's czg's map!!

I'm sure czg appreciates any feedback is always welcome no matter how necroposted. Who knows, maybe he'll read it and decide to make another map.

In the mean time, since you already checked out Honey theme, if you like fog and mood, check out

Thanks Qmaster. I'm pretty stoked about the recommendation because after Honey ended, I really wanted to see more in that style. I'll be checking this one out soon. I'll be surprised if I get similar vibes from it considering how much older it is but maybe it will be right up my alley.

Thy Wish Be Granted!

Check these out, Poorchop:

Apart from Honey itself, there's plenty of Honey-inspired maps at the other end of this link - not made by czg, sadly, but by other talented mappers.

You're welcome.

CDA is very good and moody AF but feels quite different from Honey in ambience, architecture & gameplay. If you like it, there's a sequel here. Oh, and my personal fav by JPL is The Five Rivers Land, inspired by Doom 3's hell maps.

What stood out to me the most that all of this was accomplished without tons of minute brushwork. I didn't notice much in the way of fancy trim or fine detail. It's a very different approach to creating a beautiful map.

Bear in mind, when this was released in 2012 - it was not seen as a minimalist map in terms of brush detail, in fact it was a visual feast, what with all the broken ruins stuff, chains, fiddly railings, huge draw distances.

So not so much a "different approach", because all this modern "60,000 brushes or gtfo" thing happened well after Honey's release.

Do yourself a favor and play "Probable Carcinogen" from Jam 1. One of the coolest maps I've ever played by Ionous and mfx.

func_mapjam1 was all about creating a Honey themed map, so you'll want to check all of those out poorchop.

I don't think jam1 needed to be mentioned a 3rd time when it's already been linked to twice in the last 6 posts...

Just Replayed It

...and its still one of the best Quake maps ever made. It is so good that mapjam1 picked up the theme for us. So that we players are able to enjoy it even more.
