- Map-making
in Quake1 today ...
- If you thought that Quake1 map-making was
dead, then you'd better revise your copy. As I slowly built up this mod
and wandered around the net, I was really stunned by the fantastic beauty
of the maps some people offer on their site. Forget about the
crappy-looking maps that came out after the first editors were released, a
couple of years ago. Even forget about ID's deathmatch maps themselves.
Today's Quake1 maps have a quality and an aesthetic beauty close to what
you'll find in the best maps of Quake2 and Quake3. It is really
astonishing to see how great the work of mappers can be at times.
- The maps featured in this mod will give
you an idea of what I mean. However, you should realize that most of the
their map-makers have been working on many other maps since then that are
really worth being downloaded. Yes, it's definitely still "in"
to play Quake1, particularly since its source code was released and a
bunch of hybrid engines have been made available. Playing these great maps
on a good engine makes them fantastic.
