Quake Brutalist Jam – The Edge of the Empire

Ben Hale organized this jam, and the sole theme was concrete and brutalist architecture. This is not the most impressive map in the pack by any means (also one of the biggest ever produced by the Quake community, 35 maps in total!) but I’m quite happy with the result.

The idea was to create some areas where I could mix nature and concrete but I wasn’t doing too good on time (and I couldn’t find enough nature wads for Quake) so I had to scrap that idea and go with a simpler approach: focus on colored areas and dramatic colored lights to create interesting layouts with varying degrees of complexity and verticality. And yes, the yellow area façade looks like a turtle.

Thanks to Ben for organizing and for the wonderful wads and Matthew Breit for making the Copper mod.
