The Stepwell

Small temple map with Makkon textures for Arcane Dimensions v1.81+ (NOT included). Map source is included. The author's first release.

This file will not load in Quake Injector and requires manual installation.

Note: AD probably requires a modern engine / source port with increased limits.

This is nice - especially for a first map.

Here and there it's a bit repetitive (e.g. the come-to-life statues), but the architecture, secrets and riddles are some nice touches.

I hope to see more from this mapper in the future; thanks for the effort, and thanks for sharing!

Very nice for a first map. Hoping to see more from this author, especially AD maps.

Thank you for sharing with us!

Again, very nice first map! I think the only thing I would change is that the enemies stuck on platforms aren't much of a threat. Some wall art like murals would also be nice - but I'm really being picky here, because I think the mapper has that attention to detail.

It does load in the injector, but then I've found a pointless secret underwater --- an empty secret area. Bug? Oversight?

Visuals are definitely nice, but copy-pasted too much. Didnt enjoy the gameplay / level design, very repetitive. And the beginning is so scarce on ammo and maneuverability that it feels like survival horror. I ended up sequence breaking to the end fight by using the jump boots to jump over the silver key bars, not sure if thats intentional.

I enjoyed this one a lot: it's a nice example of how to get a lot of gameplay out of relatively little space, and I wonder if it's a 1024^3 map. It's also a nice reminder of how Arcane Dimensions makes everything better. Everything is just that little bit more brutal and satisfying than in Vanilla Quake (or Quoth, or Copper, or progs.dump). I didn't mind the symmetry of the gameplay, and I found the lack of ammo a well-judged challenge.

My only problem really came right at the end. When I had all kills but one, and had cleared out the arena with all the vores in cubby-holes, I pressed all four buttons on the central pillar but the bars blocking the exit still didn't withdraw. What am I missing?
