-__**Arcane Dimensions**__ is a single player and coop Quake mod created by [[http://www.simonoc.com|Simon O’Callaghan]] (aka Sock), a longtime game designer who reconsidered commonly used or well-established Quake design principles. His early design criticism was compared to Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses. Whether it is evolution or revolution, Arcane Dimensions represents the realization of the design vision Sock first outlined a few years ago. It’s great news for the Quake community and the most influential mod since Quoth, and the recent release of the final version represents an interesting opportunity to consider the shifting trends in level design over the last few years.+__**Arcane Dimensions**__ is a single player and coop Quake mod started by [[http://www.simonoc.com|Simon O’Callaghan]] (aka Sock), a longtime game designer who reconsidered commonly used or well-established Quake design principles.

 While this whole list is in some sense comparing apples and oranges, that is             particularly the case with this Christmas jam map. It's definitely amusing/fun, but it's also very short. Not wanting to spoil any surprises I will say that this level is like Sock meets Madfox, which is awesome, but difficult to rate in relation to other maps. While this whole list is in some sense comparing apples and oranges, that is             particularly the case with this Christmas jam map.

-This dark dungeon incorporate Negke's characteristic style with blocks, lights, and panels of various sizes giving the sense of mysterious but functional architecture. The various sizes of lights reminded me of an optometry test, which turned out to be appropriate as the map features a "skull guardian" who watches your every move. As usual with this author what we have here is an interesting take on id (or perhaps Rogue) tech-dungeon Quake themes. +
