Now the best way I reckon is movies - they can reach people who may not still have Quake installed, can show exactly what your mods all about and is your chance at impressing people.

Why do I waste my time.
It could be a manic/compulsive disorder. I know that is what keeps me moving brushes around. swim swim hungry, push brush, swim swim hungry, skewer brush.

As a mapper, I guess the audience impact maybe a bit different than for a code modder. For the Winter/Norway pack I participated in and my single map released in '04, I got a steady stream of positive e-mail for a few months after those projects were released. I've never asked him, but my pal Kinn ...

I have about a dozen notebooks full of detailed discriptions and drawings of maps, monsters, NPC's, puzzles, tricks, and story lines for mods for Quake, Thief, Deus Ex, NOLF, Doom 3 and stand alone TC's.

I also have dozens of prototyped maps and models on my hard drive.
As compulsive as that ...

The return to the spirit world and shoot damned spirits for health points bit does get tedious even in the demo. If the spirit world was fleshed out and presented its own mystery, this method would have worked beautifully as an alternative.

WinQuake or toChris for all older mods (Zerstörer, BBelief, etc.), for larger projects that you you would expect some gray flash in a software renderer, DarkPlaces, no customs except for that which comes in a mod.

Hey, I recognize that pic. The response to my booth has been pretty overwhelming for me, now I feel obligated to complete it, though I believe screenshot captures are an underappreciated and complete art in themselves . . .

Get the 3 100 brush competition packs. The .map files come with the packs, and being uncluttered with good game play in a lot of the maps, you should learn a lot of things. I personaly rebuilt Ikka Karanen's Valley of the Kings from the first pack. Actually, years later, I am still on an Ikka kick.
