I have cancelled hc4 for reasons I'm stating here, starting from the next paragraph.
It is true that I was not an honest Quake map author. That was because my Quake maps were plagued with issues. Inconsistent, poor brushwork, too many monsters, unnecessarily easy, and worst of all I release a new version of my map that, contrary to my statements that it will be improved, are often worse than the original level. I won't lie anymore, okay anyone?
That spatial transcendence thing was dumb. I tired of word salad. "Psychedelic" is awful. "Anti-authoritarian" is awful. I brought up "word salad" in the same sentence with "Skinny Puppy" in it. I don't hate Skinny Puppy, it's just I don't listen to them as much as I used to since February 2017, though occasionally I do that when I have enough time to do so (which is nice but rare). I mostly listen to metal music (especially thrash metal), industrial music, old electronic music (including 20th century Detroit techno and 90s electronica), ambient music, and yes, Nine Inch Nails (yeah!). And I don't watch anime a lot these days.
And please notice that I am posting here without my func_msgboard "hexcalk" account because I don't use it anymore. That's because I was annoyed that my name appearing on the FAQ page for 3+ months straight without an apparent end on sight because people thought I was browsing func_msgboard for far too long. I still have my email intact, thankfully.
Better luck next time, me! ;)
hc4 was a metal map named "0: Metallic Fort", and I put up the final incomplete version on Quaketastic because I spent too long changing it. The link to the source map is here:
