You've highlighted all the gameplay qualities well. I like you describing the Ogre corridor as very "classic Quake" - that sums up what I liked about this map, that a lot of the gameplay trickery and ambushes felt like how Quake felt for the first time - subtle little tricks and surprises that keep adding spice throughout the map.

I too really liked the silver key area. I know neggers was agonising over that to try to make it interesting but palatable to most players, and it worked well.

You can just straight jump to the GL BTW. 

My memories of the original BB were a lot about the (as Shambler says) "subtle little tricks and surprises that keep adding spice", so it was nice that this release had the same spirit. 

ogre cages really did me over - it's rare that the bounce of their projectiles is used horizontally. 

...neggers :) 

Nice demo as usual ;) 

....very good video, thank you!

I would have done a single video for all 3 maps but my internet has been dodgy as shit lately so smaller uploads = good atm. Part 2 coming as soon as I can figure out how to give myself the custom weapons used in this mod with console commands :P 

you can resume uploads to youtube, I think up to 24h. just upload the same file again and it will continue where you left. At least with chromium. 

Doesn't seem to work so well with FF I guess. Had a whole bunch of dead uploads :P

Will have to try chrome again soon! 

I like the channel as well. The intro on Trenchbroom was what pulled me into the Q1 mapping scene again.

I like the gameplay review, although I found the map pretty easy, I do agree on the style of it.

Couple of things:

"Shortcut activated" is always a shortcut to somewhere you've already been.

The navigation in the first mine - there is only one route there! You're right that after the SK door it gets potentially more confusing. 

 

Nice comments about the arena and the rockwork too. Astute! 

for the video review, some very good comments about the navigation. It is so easy to forget when designing maps that other will not know the map inside out.

Thanks for mentioning the func thread, it might be helpful to add the thread link to the video about section? then anyone who is interested can read the comments. 

Youtube is nob ended and cuts off the description too early, I'll move links to the top :P 

BIFF0R!

Shits good yo, mostly. 

 

Good analysis of the design progression and map details. It is a bloody good-looking map.

I didn't think the dogs were much of a problem before. "Slightly tricky" rather than "very very poor" IMO. 

I enjoyed watching that more than I enjoyed playing it myself 

I think i enjoyed watching that more, than making it all by myself..

@DaZ, nice video! Priceless commentary, thank you! Glad you liked the tweaked version even more;).

Oh, and the models were not made by me, i think its not clearly been said at one point (you admiring the screens).

All props to preach.. 

The low gravity e1m8 inspired rancid decaying squelchy flesh pit of doom <-- easier to say than the real map title ;)

I admit I died on the SK crusher as well, with pretty much the same thought - "It's not really gonna kill me just like that is it?"
