5/5 map right here. From the first room with SS and GL I knew I was in for a ride, but this map exceeded my expectations. It has perfect balance between fun exploration and hardcore fighting. It has also propably the best usage of secrets I’ve seen in a while - with weapons and big chunks of map. If that wasnt enough it has guite a lot of original geometry and mechanics including switches, the “pyramid” in the thumbnail and lots of other stuff. To my taste some parts of the map felt a little empty, but when thought about it some more, maybe it gave this map even more “personality” If thats BassLexa’s first Quake 1 map than I just cant imagine what will he do next. ---

Wow what a fun map. I’m really happy I downloaded this one. I love all the functional switches and nested secrets in this map. I played it on Skill 2 and was missing something like 20-30 kills when I finished the map, so I didn’t manage all the exploration. It was perhaps a little easy. I finished without using any of the quads. Well done. Very impressive first map! And the “attempt to show a more practical depiction of a Quake base map with it’s own infrastructure and a sense of place” was very much a success in my opinion. ---

Edit: oops, I just realized I played on skill 1, not skill 2. Will replay it on hard like I intended. ---

I enjoyed this a bunch. Glad it got captured on Quaddicted because I didn’t see it announced anywhere else. It’s not quite polished-to-within-an-inch-of-its-life, either in visuals or “flow”. But! It’s still pretty good in those respects, and a thing it really has going for it is an energy where it wants to show you a lot of cool ideas and little setpieces. Also the effort put into some of the secrets is a lot more fun than just “door opens, have some armor”. Ammo seems a bit tight on skill 2 if you don’t find the LG secret. I suppose liberal use of rockets/grenades on non-shamblers will help save shells/nails for everyone else. Anyway, it worked out in the end! ---

This is very good! Truly an explorers map! Very good brushwork, nice take on base/industrial, good monster placement, ‘realistic’ feel… The realism is perhaps unwound a bit by the beam-in monsters. Is this really a first map? Or has the author tried mapping for other games first? Just curious… Very good, and thank You. Can’t wait to see more! ---

Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad that you had fun playing my map. No, this is my first map ever, no experience in other games. Maybe I just had a strong vision for this one 🙂 btw next map is coming very soon. ---
