Beautiful piece.

This thing is gorgeous. Seriously, I love it. Had to laugh when I met Dr. Doom...

This is beautiful. And it brings Quakespasm to the edge of the envelope. I really like the references to RtCW - the only game i have released maps for - so it brings a old love back up again... :) Impressive to see that it is possible to backport some newer features to Quake. Well done. My respect.

Great stuff. At first I thought that it's too big, but then I got pulled in. Got some flashbacks about Shadowfang Keep and Karazhan from WOW. And then Brill/Tirisfal Glades as well in the extra map that has the 4th Chalice.

Great map with its own story paying homage to Dark Souls, Bloodbourne and... Marvel)) Beautiful three maps (start + two main levels). Great action, three unique bosses (you'll remember the three frahchises I mentioned before), nicely-done new weapons... Beside combat, Raven Keep challenges you to find three chalices (two are in secrets) in order to access its second level with the final, fourth chalice and endboss. Highly recommend this mod. 2 hours of fun!

Great map, but sometimes hard. It was a pleasure to visit all places and search for secrets.

I would love to play entire episode like that, with good story and vibe. Feels almost like Ultima/Dark Messiach of M&M.

Oh, forgot secret map :)

Yup, that's definitely looks more like DS or Bloodb as Escalate_krsk wrote.

Still, good job!

Not terribly professional, but everyone has to start somewhere, and this is a charming work showing a lot of inspiration. Some WTF moments that barely detract from the positive:

1. What the HELL is wrong with those light rays? Shouldn't they be translucent?

2. This is a release with a storyline, cutscenes, and new music, yet it stuffs a standard Quake ambient track into the map you're gonna spend the most time in.

3. The more homages you see, the less original this feels.

This is a beautiful map set. I haven't seen such an atomospheric, well designed map like this in a while. I love the medieval theme. This is a true testament to the talent of the Quake community.

I think calling this a three-map campaign is a real stretch. It's one big map, really — with a zero-kills start map, and a sort of bonus map that is less than a quarter of the size of the main map.

BUT that's a failure of marketing rather than of design. That one big map is really satisfying, with lots of explore and discover, and as others have pointed out several unique combats. It feels less populated by than other big keeps such as The Marcher Fortress, but that gives it its own unique atmosphere. I liked this a lot.

The code map by contrast is really just about a sequence of staged comments, and has almost no geography or exploration. It was fun, but not especially memorable. Part of me thinks the whole thing would have been more satisfying if only the big central map had been released.

Really good level (plus the secret one and bosses) but please... I watched the ravenkeep trailer on youtube and the spoilers i saw quite ruined the level for me... i don't know why the dev did that... I hope he won't do it again.

it crashes

This is the most beautiful Quake map ever made. The details are impeccable. The lighting is spot on. The effects are amazing. Small things make this really shine like: fish in the fountain, trap doors at the tops of all broken ladders, events during the intermission, some random cat, named secrets, checkers, darts, ...the list goes on. Really there is so much cool stuff here, it's hard to wrap your head around it. It seems every detail has been thought of. Great new enemies. Liked how the invisible swordsmen from rogue make a reappearance, but with glowing eyes, gives them more susbstance.

Now for the bad. The double barrel shotgun is too slow, but I was expecting it to be more powerful as a result and it is not. By the time I can shoot again the enemies moved and this made it more annoying. The damage rate of the single barrel is about the same as the double. Those vengeful spirit ghost ladies were crazy hard to kill. They were fun except they'd show up right in your face and do crazy high damage. The white blood on ghosts was a nice effect but made it hard to tell if I was damaging them or not. Not enough secrets, lots of missed opportunity ledges. Would really have loved if you could somehow pay the barmaid to open the hotel rooms or the houses had insides. Ah well.

All in all absolutely fantastic. This is the best castle I've seen in Quake yet.

The secret map has all of the above, but is even more beautiful if that's possible. I was absolutely blown away.

This was a solid 5 for me. I'm in constant amazement over what the Quake community is turning out for a game 25 years old.

Raven Keep is a must-play. This fantastic castle begs to be explored, but cautiously since deadly enemies lurk everywhere! The design and construction are fabulous and the textures and attention to detail are pure eye-candy.

So, Dr. Doom was a hoot! I imagined myself in Latveria, his guest/ prisoner. I was also taken aback to see Alice working there as a chambermaid and was glad I wasn't going to be closing my eyes there at night! The aliens who landed only to dump the cat out of their ship was another laugh. I went up to it and it meowed at me! In fact, all the models were great.

I played skill 2 using QSS .93.2 and did encounter some performance issues until I added -heapsize 524288 to the command line and then all was well.

My hat's off to you Redfield and I hope to see more from you in the future! Thank you!

The mod lags and the weapons are more useless than playing it at nightmare - and this is on normal difficulty. The ravens need 6 shots at point blank to be killed. Too bad, it's a total ruin.

I have to agree with Nailin: there's some weird balancing on how spongey the ravens - which you face a bunch of right at the start - are, given how damaging they are. Personally, it put me off as much as it did Nailin.

Never more ... lol

Amazing modeling and mapping! The ravens are too spongy and aggressive and I ran out of ammo a little, but I really enjoyed it.
