Oh, shit. I'm confubsed already. I like it though.

Great and ambitious map. I loved the music, the atmosphere and the exploration bits. There are a one or two secrets I'm clueless about but I scoured most of the map and killed most of the enemies.

This falls very short of 5 stars, mostly because of a few confusing aspects as to how to navigate the map. I figured out that I must have explored some bits in the wrong order since I faced arrows pointing in the wrong direction.

Then again, how can you resist experimenting once you get the rocket launcher?

Thanks for the map and keep up the good work. I'm really looking forward to your next releases.

Best looking Honey-themed map. Very fun and challenging, great use of verticality. Also great music choice! Extremely recommended

Superb atmosphere. Great balance between exploration and the "main" progress path. Neat inclusion of mini-portals that get you back up after you jump (or fall) down.

I take it back, it's not all that confusing. This has nothing on Forgotten Sepulcher in terms of copulating with your spatial awareness. Just need a little attention and the boobsnake is in trouble!

There was one WTF moment when monsters teleported into an area cleared long ago, simply because it was accessed with a lift that hasn't been used before. A rather swindly setup, considering the amount of paths you can take.

Very impressive overall.

Yes. Yes yes. Play it. Now. It's cool.

What a nice surprise! A very tasteful mix of AD+Honey.

I had a good time with this one from start to finish -- excellent atmosphere and routefinding, a custom music track that really sets the mood, and pretty good pacing with the combat.

Finding the final supersecret was quite a bit of hunting! But a good capper for the whole thing.

Very, very nice!

Not Honey; this is all your own! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Incredible work. I loved the secret hunting, verticality and optional hidden final boss. The music was also very nice, giving the level a nice sorrowful atmosphere.

I especially appreciated the teleports in previously completed areas that acted as shortcuts - they proved to be very handy when secret hunting at the end, or for the many occasions my stupid ass fell all the way back to the start!

If Arcane Dimensions was still being updated I'd have liked to have seen this in the main mod hub somewhere, it's that damn good!

Very nice map. I didn't find how to open the door that says "Reeks of death"

HELLO, i cant seem to load this map I'm pretty noob but im typing game ad; map warden and it gives me an error

What error?

Hi Rudi - i think your syntax may be a problem.

First be sure that the 'maps' and 'music' folders are in the root directory of Arcane Dimensions - if they are in a folder called 'ad' it won't work.

Second, when you start the game engine, syntax is important. If you use e.g. quakespasm, your line should look like this:

quakespasm -game ad +map warden

(if your Arcane Dimensions aren't in 'ad' replace with your folder name)

Alternatively, if you can start Arcane Dimensions, pull a terminal (usually the tilde key) and type

maps

and 'warden should show up. If it does, just type

map warden

Pls dont complain about noob'ness! We were all noobs once, and the noobs are our future, both with game play and mapping! Happy fraggin' ! ;)

so it says couldnt spawn server maps/adwarden .bsp I tried the same command with adsepulcher and it worked fine and i have both maps in the same folder which is odd. I appreciate you guys being so cool though :)

I FIGURED IT OUT GUYS THANKS A MILLION

OKAY, i played it and its frickin epic very sexy map

Great map, love it, atmospheric. I played it on nightmare, wasn't hard, but balanced and found 6 secrets. Also, what's up with most quake mappers having good music taste??

I was having a pretty good time on this map until reaching the exit corridor. I'm not generally too fussed about missing secrets and a few stray kills but the message about the Warden still being alive, plus the ~60% kill count, compelled me to carry on playing. I struggled for a long time with working out to do next and eventually resorted to noclipping... after which I found the shadow axe I forgot to pick up earlier on, facepalm (I went for it on initially seeing it but missed the jump). Also took me embarrassingly long to find the opening to the 'smells toxic' door. I preferred the main boss fight to the Warden fight though, kept falling down dodging scrag pellets.

Visually though, this map is amazing. The style, brushwork, vertical layout, fog, details etc, all incredible. The Quaddicted preview screenshot is one of the best I've seen. Really wanted it to be more satisfying than it was
