I definitely got way more comfortable with using trenchbroom and with quake mapping in general during my time making this; the first areas I made stand in stark contrast to the quality of the later areas. I upgraded most of it to be more consistent but some are still very much untouched since the first iteration. The main issue I found was I went into it building an area based on aesthetic decisions, without thinking too much about gameplay. This was mostly caused by trying to gain familiarity with the tools. As such, the level flow and encounters are not particularly tight, though I did try to lean into it and make the most of what I had already built. There are also many unrealised ideas that exist as small vignettes hinting at bigger plans. I like to think they help build a world around the very small level they exist in :) I received a lot of help and encouragement from the guys over at the terrafusion discord, especially Muk and Bal, who also inspired a lot of what I eventually made. My map would be a lot less spiky if it weren't for them. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels.
