The problem with the Quake Remix Jam is that it makes me want to make more Quake maps, and I know with absolute certainty that if I ever have two projects running in parallel, one of them is going to be swiftly abandoned and forgotten about.

So for the time being, I have to just be a spectator.

Some favourites below the fold:


Sleepytime Abbey, by Nickster

Utterly gorgeous art-deco remake of Q3DM8 (Brimstone Abbey). Copper tones and warm, comfortable vibes.

A semi-circular courtyard at dusk, with a tower of many windows looming over it. Sconces gently illuminate geometric patterns on the walls & ceilings

Roulette Dares, by Fairweather

A handsome vanilla-textured remix of two (!) maps from Quake Champions, Lockbox and Vale of Pnath (neither of which I've played). Fresh and occasionally vicious, in true Fairweather style.

A mossy stone underground chamber, bathed in foggy gloom, with ramps running up and down in parallel.

I Shot the Albatross, by Strideh

Tackles the (deeply unenviable) task of trying to make UT99's DM-KGalleon fun. Absurd attention to detail in the construction of the boat's timbers.

A large wooden galleon sits adrift in dark waters, with the silhouettes of wrecks in the background. Its sails are red-and-white striped, with a skull and crossbones on them.

Taught by Thirst, by RadiatorYang

"What if site B was being camped by a Shambler?" and other questions you wish you'd never learned the answer to.

The courtyard of a vaguely Mesoamerican temple, stained green with moss and ivy. On the left, a 'bomb site' is marked with many stacks of explosive crates.

"...makes me want to make more Quake maps..."

ah yes, the curse of Quake mappery. you'll never escape it, sorry

i've played ~7 of the maps so far (and watched comfybythefire stream a few) and this pack is so good; everyone is so good at making maps these days!
