I had the great pleasure of playtesting all of these maps for the release. It’s important to note there are some first time Quake mappers involved with this pack who all did excellent work. The veteran mappers of course all stepped up their game as well. NewHouse created a themed start map that’s just plain fun. Just some of the highlights in no particular order:
- ww’s labyrinthian cave system with the vanishing Shambler!
- Skacky’s beautiful massive “sunken” complex
- OneTruePurple’s vertical lava temples
- wedge’s entire map (his first for Quake - no spoilers!)
- scar3crow’s chaotic thrillride
- Mukor’s moody, mind-bending maze
- Jazz’s has something to tie the whole level together
- Ionous’ experiment with circular slaughter
- GG TheMusic on your first ever Quake map
- Breezeep’s punishing paradise
- Mariteaux’s rocket jumping and lava dip
- Artisical’s two maps one huge, one tight
- Bloodshot’s is one of the most unique Quake environs I’ve ever seen
- Danazadan’s tricky sliver key
- digs’ map is a true dm4 remix with a ton of personality
- DraQu & Promeus’ ambitious and atmospheric first Quake map
- Giftmacher’s usual excellent gameplay and encounters
- prengle’s creative brushwork and environments
- rj’s map plays on an inspiring, massive scale
- Shadesmaster first Quake map is an ode to DooM
- Naiteveni a simply beautiful and challenging level.
This is a great pack.

DM4 Map Jam - Part 1 on The Quake Grave
So far, I’ve played through 6 maps from the pack and having a great time! It’s great to see all of the different perspectives and approaches to Quake mapping, especially when trying to take on the theme of such a classic DM map!
The video features maps made by Ionous, Skacky, Bloodshot, Mariteaux and both of Artisicals. Part 2 coming soon!

“Aren’t you missing something?”, asks The Worst Place, as I try to pass an underwater grate. But what? I’ve pressed every button I’ve seen.

Too many maps here for me to do my usual, and comment on each individually. But lots of fun to be had in this pack, where none of the maps are stinkers and some are really good.

I ended all maps, little coments:
DraQu & Promeus, I founded 0|4 secrets, it is my worst score, they a hided very well.
Scacky, very beautiful and big map, even with default Quake texture and white lighting! And rock loocks smooth, not a angular. Very many polygons in rock walls. How many time u spen to createthis map?
Dig, it looks as remix… scaled remix O_O interesting idea.
Ww, beautiful map too. what does mean “NOWT”?
DM4 Map Jam Part 4 on The Quake Grave
Part 4 is the final part and features the maps from RJ, Shades, TheMusic, Wedge_One and WW.
Great jam everyone, not a bad map in the bunch! I’m really glad to see so many new faces in this one too, please stick around and create more maps! =)
