Sweet! I particularly like the cyclopean scale of hcm's entry. ... though I don't see that name in the credits above. Strange.

They are actually listed in the credits, for hcm is HardcoreMazu, or Mazu for short.

A couple of these don't seem like Honey to me at all; however, in general, this is a really nice pack! Fairweather's map, The Occult Honeypot; Hardcore_Mazu's map, The Gate of Long Forgotten Heresy; and Danzadan's map, Honeyjuice, are, in my opinion, the standouts. Yoder's map is beautifully constructed, but (spoiler alert) it's a Base sewer map, so it's a real stretch on the theme (it's got amber fog though!). Yoder sure loves his sewers :)

Considering the maps were done over a weekend, this pack is actually quite impressive!

Danz's map crashes when I try to quicksave:

Quicksaving... Saving game to /home/someone/.quakespasm/sm196_pack/quick.sav... *** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/lib/quake/quake-engine terminated

(QuakeSpasm 0.93.1, Debian 10.6)

Honey Ice (sm196_artistical) is obviously unfinished: the kill-count of 3, the silver-key pool that's impossible to get out of, the room under the chandelier thing that's impossible to drop into, the absence of even the three monsters that should be there. I will pass mutely over this, and go on to the next map.

Honeyjuice (sm196_danz) is much better, being a complete and finished map, albeit a small one. (Well, it's a speed-map, I don't hold smallness against it!) Really nice atmosphere, though it reminds me much more of the Honey jam-pack than of Honey itself, being nicely lit and splendid rather then gloomy. Nice progression of gameplay, and I was disappointed to find I'd reached the end. (No idea how to get the quad up on the high ledge in the final battle room, though.)

The Occult Honeypot (sm196_fairweather) raises the bar further, with a nice two-way choice at the start — which of two silver-key doors to open — and a sequence of carefully constructed combats along the way. Really nice.
