Nergal Awakened was a quick speed level made in 3 days for Reload mapjam. I really wanted it to give a unique setting that mixed a magic and Mesopotamian setting using a bit of environmental elements to build a short story. It was also a chance for me to better learn the Quake engine and its quirks. While it may not be my best work and I'd expand and change some things if I were to redo it, I'm still proud I was able to make it in the short allotted time I had to considering my other obligations. I am grateful it was featured the Honorable Mentions of the article from Reload Magazine!

Torture Garden was made quickly for a project on Doom's /vr/ board. I always wanted to see this courtyard implemented in an interesting way. The main gimmick came from a short story called the 'Torture Garden' which is a masochistic tale of a garden fed by human suffering and blood. I used an engine trick to give a sort of "blood lock" that fed the garden and start the generators, kicking on the lights and opening doors. Due to the fast nature of this maps creation, there are things I would change. Still I was happy to contribute to a struggling project in time with an idea I may revisit later. I did make 2 revisions to fix the errors I saw when watching playthroughs. Ad Mortem was eventually given a runners-up Cacoward

Eden's Shallow is sort of my vision of a Quake level that was greatly inspired by the end segment in Doom 3 where the excavation team finds hell. Mixing the earthy and runic tilesets Quake has for a good chapter end showdown that references E1M8s Bruiser Brothers to make it feel complete. Quakes textures are a bit limited for this but I tried my best not to be too redundant. I tried to make the level feel like a real journey with a good bit of environmental cues. The playtesting was a real learning experience for me, many cut areas and reworked elements to try to make it fun for playthroughs. I can't wait to see the response as the mod Parallel Doomension is currently unreleased as of writing.

Hostile Hotel was a map pulled from TNT Devilution inspired by the TNT Evilution Doom levels. I really wanted a Hotel themed level for the mapset as I had several dreams that revolved around the concept at the time. I feel its a really unique looking map but I think it was wise to have pulled the level as it didn't mesh with the Devilution levelset. Due to demand it may appear in a future TNT tribute project.
