Dreamhost is having a switch/router issue at the moment so Quaketastic is temporarily offline. It's being looked at... 

that looks fantastic ^_^ 

Looks excellent. The chains are a bit primitive though... Maybe use patches or, even better, a mapmodel, instead. 

Nice gaping hole, dude o_O 

3,800+ brushes and it's finally sealed. Now to start detailing and finalizing gameplay...

looks fucking great!!!

i want this :p

go map! 

Time to START detailing?? Looks pretty detailed to me! 

haha no kidding. it looks great already ^_^ 

Not a fan of the texture set, but it's a taskmaster map, so weather it's good or bad it will be well done.

Good or bad being relative to whichever gameplay angle you're exploring.

Is that id basic sky tex up top? I'd always vote for skybox, but there you go.

The only question that remains . . . when :) 

wow very cool I like the brightness of the textures and vaulted ceiling, gives the area a regal/palace feel. What do you mean by start detailing? Is 3800 brushes alot? sorry for stupid questions, not a q1 mapper anymore. 

Very promising shot :) 

Wow, thanks all! And, yeah, that area in the shot is pretty much done but there are others that need detailing (box rooms). :) 

I like the cathedral-esque up lighting on the ceiling, gives it a sense of grandeur.

Not sure about the square windows/light fittings tho, especially the stack of 3 on the left. They just seem too square/blocky. Possibly have one tall window instead, would flow with the lines of the room better and help emphasise the height
(altho all that may be based on the low angle of the screenshot)

And I'm all in favour of more detail, I reckon you can push a few more polygons out of the Q1 engine (altho it does look very nice already, I'm just a fan of adding modern engine-esque levels of small detail into Q1 ;) 

Looks very nice. 

i know necros has some map that goes outside the 8192 cube, willem has the above-mentioned map, sock has that q3 doodle, gb and others are working on remake quake (or "re-quake").

Anything else?

Be doing a demo sometime soon, just ironing out the last few issues and preparing stuff. 

That looks fucking great.
