Iriyap 
the Ogre is still holding a nailgun in his final model. That tiny weapon is way too small to fit even a single grenade

Well, its design was based on realistic nailguns then, instead of being based on the nailguns that the player carries. This would also explain why it looks like a hammer. And I also agree with this after looking at the ogre's gun skin - that's definitely not a hammer. 
Wow! 
Look at that ogre! No wonder the manual says he's 9ft tall! Looks scary awesome.

@mankrip 
Well, the player never gets to use a single barrel nailgun, so we could assume that's what it looks like.

Here's the Ogre model skin:

The two strips on right must've been used for his horns.

Those screenshots are vertically stretched.

Here's them with the correct aspect ratio
Wasn't Me Who Posted Those, But... 
Whoops 
I was actually replying to #29850 in my last reply.

Here's the original source for these screenshots
Yes, and I just corrected the image aspect of those screenshots to 4:3 square pixels, since Quake was developed for 4:3 CRT monitors with non-square pixels.

Monkeying Around In Darkplaces 
day scene
night scene (this one's cooler)

I was watching some Sea of Thieves gameplay this evening and felt compelled to play around in DP/q3map2. I grabbed a couple textures from google and slapped these together. Granted there isn't much going on in those shots, but performance is pretty good (around 400 fps @ 1080p).

I'd like to make a pretty, cheerful and humorous adventure game someday. All this time in gloomy crypts and mournful ruins has me longing for some levity :/ 
 
that nighttime skybox looks cool, the clouds are very stylish/cartoony.

Brightly lit egyptian / ikwhite theme Q1 SP full of murderous monsters and brutal carnage?? 
Both Of Those Look Very Cool 
 
 
@metl - yeah, it's sweet. I think I got it and some others from the unity asset store for like $5.

@shambler - I was thinking more along the lines of a 'pirate' themed, semi open world shoot n' loot with a Blizzard-esque aesthetic. This is actually something I've wanted to do for a while now.

@nitin - I think so too. I'm a sucker for bright colors and video game water. 
Killpixel. 
So Assassins Creed Black Flag meets Torchlight 2 from an FPS perspective. Something for your forthcoming game engine..... 
Just Sayin' 
I'd play the shit out of a Quake map pack / TC in a cartoon fantasy style like Torchlight or other lighthearted RPG's.

I think hand painted textures like this would work pretty well:

@killpixel 
Go for it. Seems that whatever you touch turns to awesome. Looking good. 
 
@shambler - TL2's light rpg elements would fit well in an old school fps with a little more streamlining imo.

@iriyap - same here.

@qmaster - thank you, good sir! 
About The Ogres... 
Looking at the ogre art/models above I am reminded of a custom ogre that is Madfox's excellent Fourfeather:
https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/fourfeather0.html

The new ogre in this map does seem to resemble these models, I wonder is it an original or are these models available somewhere - Madfox? I'm going to guess he made it because of all the other custom stuff in the map (Bender!)

Also,
@killpixel - looks awesome. For some reason the art style in those videos reminds me of the Rayman universe. 
@Redfield 
To answer my own question, it seems that in the readme for Fourfeather the ogres are based on the ones in QuakeTest with some modification. So it is indeed a model of an alternative ogre design. A cool piece of Quake history. 
Merry Christmas 
Hope everyone is well, has a full belly and some nice presents I’m good company. 
In Good Company 
God dammit. 
Good Company To All Of You! <3
