Monastery Gardens is my very first Quake 1 map. I've created many multiplayer maps for Quake 3 and Counter-Strike, but except for playing around with the Half-Life 2 editor in the late 2000's, I've never created an actual single player map for anything so far. I really wanted to change that, and this is my attempt to do so.
The map is loosely based on q3dm1 "Arean Gate". Loosely in the sense that I took a decompiled version of Arena Gate as a basis, because I just wanted to make a small and compact first map to get started. But I kept adding more routes and areas, and the thing became far bigger than I had originally intended. I ended up with a map that will take around half an hour to complete on a first blind run.
The map requires a modern engine port Like Quakespasm or Ironwail and the Copper mod.
You can download the map on my website.
Here's a 22min long playthrough video.
Because this is my first Quake 1 map and SP map in general, this kind of gameplay is uncharted territory for me. I'm not happy with various encounters and the item placement yet, so I'd be really grateful for any concrete tips or links to other maps that I can play for reference. I feel that the layout and visuals have a lot of potential, but the encounters are just not there yet.
Hello Fellow Creatives,
I've created some brand new seamless texture images to share with the community. You'll find them at the top of these pages on my site:

NEVER A.I. GENERATED
I recently got a question asking how I create my images and if they're A.I. generated. All of my images start as digital pictures of real-world objects that I take with my DSLR. I then import these images into Photoshop and work with them to create unique textures. Everything I create is 100% original (including my music and sounds) so content creators never have to worry about copyright issues when using my assets.

So 80s! Anyhow, I thought this piece might sound nice in an 80's-themed fantasy or romance game.
