skacky's has very cool gameplay and probably the only one with retro design/visuals :)

ionous - holy hell, what detailing! I did get a weird brushwork/models 'popping' type buyg in quakespasm where things like grilles and light fittings would disappear and then re-appear when I got close to them though. Leaving that aside, amazing map all round. Nice gameplay mix too.

skacky - liked this a lot more than the standard retrojam3 map because the gameplay was less grindy and more fun. Some serious visuals too, especially in the vertical direction. 

without the glitch I mention above, would love to hear it. 

Could you post a screenshot? Didn't notice any artifacts myself in qs.
Also could be worth trying MarkV, the latest version should run this map. 

will do both in the next day or so. 

Are you running it on Darkplaces? That happened in a level I did, only in DP. Along with nasty light artifacts also. 

i managed first run no deaths on nightmare mode [fuck knows how!].

3 out of 6 secrets

i ran out of ammo 2-3 times, and i'm usually quite frugal with ammo!
definitely should provoke more in-fighting to level the playing field on skill 3!

skill 3 seems to work the best if you don't charge in guns blazing, a knife between yer teeth and a red bandanna, i find ;)

c'mon, who's done a demo where they've found all the secrets? 

first map comments are obviously talking about negke's map. 

...but there is an elusive 6th, i'm stumped! 

Nitin:
It never happened to me during testing, but while streaming a play through, I saw the vanishing. What's vanishing are func_walls, back when I thought I fit this in normal Quake limits (foolishly thought, I hasten to add). As for why...I do not know.

Pietretronn:
Secrets:
DB shotgun
Megahealth
SNG
Yellow armor
Lightning Gun
Quad

Which one are you missing? 

i know that you get yellow armor later on but it's not a secret, so that sounds like it.
i've definitely got all those others. 

It's in the room below the silver key door, with the big rune textures. It's also poorly designed,in retrospect, so I see why people have trouble finding it. 

found it!!

just that little brick slightly popping out from the others.
these type of secrets are always the hardest to find.

if i didn't say it before, i will now:

i rally enjoyed this map, didn't get lost.

my 1st playthrough was on nightmare and i didn't die once. no quicksaves/reloads etc.

i was rusty as hell, as i haven't played for three years, so it always feels like your skating around on ice :( 

This just made me wonder: those of you who played my map, did you encounter any gibbed player heads in the main artrium? And if not, did you notice the blood particles coming down from the spikes?

It's one of those last minute features that initially seem cool, but may ultimately create more problems than what it's worth. 

I didn't notice it, but I am notorious for being terrible at noticing stuff. 

haven't played the new retrojam but I guarantee retrojamdlc_negke is 1000x more e4 than all of those maps!

So god damn good and weird. 

You couldn't be more wrong 

 

i can't seem to get the three dlc maps to load and start under Quake Injector... Any help would be appreciated... 

You can download them and install manually. There should be a readme text included. http://www.quaketastic.com/files/single_player/maps/retrojam3dlc.zip 

If you're having trouble with the Quake Injector, it's a good idea to leave a comment about it on Quaddicted (on the map page of the release in question, so in this case on the retrojam3dlc map page) so it can be fixed. Of course you can install any and all releases manually, but you'd be helping out by posting the problem on Quaddicted.
