Speedmap'd today. Just got back into the Quake scene this year and wanted to crank out a deathmatch map. So I managed to put one together with some interesting shapes and layout. Put in about 8hrs. Only used a few textures, so I tried to creat variety with lighting and such.

Tested with Quakespasm and reaper bots. Will test with a human opponent tomorrow, but wanted to put this up in case anyone else wanted to try it out or provide feedback. Any and all comments are appreciated.

Just playtested it with my son and some bots this morning. There are some dead areas for gameplay, and a few issues with balance of ammo vs. armor. But the central areas have some good moments going on.

If you happen to download and test the map yourself, any and all feedback is appreciated.

Looks cool. Haven't had a chance to have a proper game on it but had a bounce around. Like how you can move around really fast.

Thank you very much! Appreciate you taking a look. I did some testing and got some feedback from a couple people and did revisions yesterday.

Rebuilt a couple areas for better navigability, added an another teleporter and another hallway connection between the two main interior spaces.
Moved all the DM spawnpoints into lit "closets" in the walls.
Tweaked the lighting.
Added ammo and one more weapon.

Reaper Bots are having a way easier time getting around the level, and the flow is much improved. It still basically looks like a speedmap, but I think I'll call this a successful experiment now. I learned quite a bit cranking this one out.

I have finished my spacious Deathmatch map!
An open design influenced by the longer sight-lines of QuakeLive/Q3A maps,
with a dose of cover and corridors for classic Quake fire-fights.
