2019: The Year Of The Q1SP Episode??

Posted by oh, that person on 2018/12/31 23:51:32

So last year we've had a thread about the things we want to see in Quake in 2018, and it proved wildly successful. Personally one of my wishes were to see more SP episodes, rather than packs with no order to them, since it's an art form that's been really neglected over the last decade or so. As you may have noticed, it didn't really pan out as such.

However, could we be looking at a possible resurgence of the Quake Episode in this coming year? There's at least 4 episodes set for a probable/possible/potential release in 2019:

- Newhouse's blue episode that's been long time coming, also allegedly a part of an even bigger plan, now;

- skacky's compilation of metal runic maps from jams/speedmaps/etc. with a new layer of polish on top;

- Danzadan's rumored terracotta episode;

- another mapper's episode I tested back in March;

There's probably more episodes in plans or in development that I haven't listed here, who knows. Question is, are more maps in the episode format actually preferable to the "hubisode"?

What do you expect from a Quake episode?

What's the ideal length of an episode? Ideal format? Ideal progs?

Should we see solo episodes, or more joint efforts?

Discuss!

Qmaster, you have something in store for the Keep Mod?

You should wait before release it. If the game sells a lot and 3D Realms decides to make a mission-pack/DLC maybe you can put these stuff in there :)

Nice, make sure you incorporate the chasm monsters into keep after madfox is done.
