So I'm (finally) finishing up development on v0.2 of CPQ, a logic mod that I've been working on off and on for about a year or so (website: http://cpq.1019.net/) and I'd love to run a jam in the near future to encourage mappers to get to know it, and to really put some flexible, dynamic power in the hands of the mappers in this community. It'd also be an opportunity to give me feedback before a final release as there are a lot of different systems in there and there are sure to be sharp edges that need softening. Oh, and the jam would be included in the final release of v0.2.
If anyone would be potentially interested in participating (or would like to do a map if there's not enough participants for a jam) please feel free to reply, or hit me up on Discord (Qalten#1019 and in the Quake Mapping Discord). If you like to see a playthrough of a "showcase" map I made last year, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ1Wsx2sDJ0 I played this blind for a video on my YouTube channel as I like to highlight new mappers. Really, really impressive work and I enjoyed it a lot. Played on Skill 1 and like CV I want more!
======================================= Some impressions. Pros: maps were great and atmospheric. A bit tight in places but really nice use of your different themes and their different layouts accordingly. I liked the weapons and gameplay tweaks more than I thought I would. I felt powerful as each of the weapons had a great feel. Overall it's a bit easy BUT after a long work week it was a treat to blow through these levels and just enjoy myself. Good secrets. When I was capturing b-roll for my intro I saw some secrets I would have liked to have found. Need to go back and play those. ======================================= Cons: not sold on the weapon textures. I believe they are a little too noisy and too low-fi. I wouldn't recommend revamping them too much but maybe a little bit of clean-up is in order. Some of the maps were a bit cramped in places. Not a huge issue but always assume someone might want to play these in COOP and maybe leave a little more elbow room in your new maps. Your exits were not really obvious in a couple maps. You might want to adorn them a bit more. ======================================= All in all this is great work and I want to play more! Please stay in touch and keep us posted. I appreciate the feedback, and will be looking forward to that video. Your tutorials were extremely useful and made learning Trenchbroom a very smooth experience for me.
I pretty much agree on the weapon textures, I made them pretty fast so as to get the stuff uploaded, not so much to look good. I'll have to give them more proper texturing before I send it out for a quaddicted release. (Gonna have to look into the process again once it's ready) I have a simple but effective idea on how to make the map exits more obvious. Based on what I'm hearing, I'm guessing I don't have to worry about any strange engine-related bugs or technical issues? I did find 2 strange "monster in wall" errors in the citadel when running "developer 1" but those monsters work properly, so I'm not sure if I should be concerned. I'll be sure to ramp up the difficulty whenever I end up working on a map again. The coop suggestion is pretty useful too, a good guideline for making maps sufficiently spacious. That said, I wouldn't hold my breath for future maps anytime soon, my mapping is pretty sporadic. The only real bug I experienced were with Ghouls getting stuck in mid-air quite often. As with friends they might be better out in the open away from low ceilings and stairs. I know this comes up quite often with fiends as well.
Also nails came out of the middle of the screen for me when using that weapon. Those are the big ones I recall. Here I have some final screen shots from my upcoming mod "Castle of Doom".
I'm now polishing up last things and working on the release trailer. <ahref>https://www.quaketastic.com/files/gsh_adoria/screenshots_cod/final/poster_l1_sml.jpg</a> Here I have some final screen shots from my upcoming mod "Castle of Doom".

Some stunning brushwork there. Looking forward to playing this! Congratulations.

This a single player map I made as a student project for school set in a medieval era gothic castle, inspired by Quake. It's a small sized map that lasts ~4-6 minutes where Ranger is up against a dimension-shambler who is transporting enemies into our world, gathering an army. With the bridge broken, the only way into the castle is through the caves, into the dungeon with horrors awaiting you...

This is my second map. The first I did 24 years ago way back in 1998, it was a multiplayer map for Quake 2 called Deathmatch Fanatic. I recently found some comments about it that inspired me to do another one.
Fanatic is a small multiplayer map for 2-8 players. It has waypoints for Frikbot included.

They give me a feel of quake, although they'really quake. A bit queen on colored light, maybe a bit of fog would round them up
Keep going, looks promising.
