AD 1.8 Is In The Works 
Lots of bug fixes and some new features (and monsters?) coming. But that's all I know second hand. 
 
i think they are adding Floyds 
"i Think They Are Adding Floyds" 
Finally, Quake is complete and life is perfect. 
 
Oh my. 2020 is going to be a wonderful year. 
Have I Ever Told You... 
New Deathmatch Map With Bot Support 
Hi, in case anyone's interested, I finished a large Q1 map with a slightly different flavor. It's deathmatch, but it's also designed so the Omicron bots can use it. So for those who want single player against bots, or playing against humans, or both bots and humans together, it's great. There was a time when just a few friends could have a closed multiplayer game, without somebody like Thresh showing up. Using this map, with DirectQ as the server, a small group can have a great time. To fill in the 16 person quota, you just add the correct number of bots. Some may remember the Omicron bot problems with original Q1 maps. I also had a few, and spent a lot of time ironing out the bugs, and getting a very enjoyable bot experience, for those who want this. I also didn't want anyone to be in the dark, as far as how the map works. It's very complex, so I am preparing a youtube instructional video.
Here's the video intro I intend to use at this point. I may change the music. Go to the following link:

Find the file "Intro.mp4" Turn up the volume and double left click the file. :) 
Well. 
I need a 2 minute intro video with lift muzak for a 1996 quality DM map like I need my arse being filled with molten iron and then a magnet attached to the bottom of the ocean. Perhaps the time spent on the video and music and somehow not even posting a direct link, would have been better spent polishing and refining the map??

Still if you want more feedback and beta-testing feel free to post it on here too when it's ready: https://discord.gg/d5mytUj 
Testing 
That's the beauty of opinions. Everyone has one. The map has already been thoroughly beta and bot tested. Quakespasm, which supports the Omicrons and large maps, seems to be stable across all Windows platforms. About the only thing Quakespasm isn't good at is packet handling. This makes bad as a server, but okay when connecting to a DirectQ server in DM. DirectQ is a question with regards to Windows 10. I know it works fine in Windows 7 Pro, and doesn't work well in XP Pro. Since development stopped before 10 was released, and that's what most use I would think, I don't know if it's 10 compatible as a server. So if one wanted to beta test, this would be the best task. 
Inky Scratchy 
Not sure if it fits quake's bestuarium, but it just creeped out my mind. Something with a vanishing sprite fog.

@madfox 
I love it!! =D 
Cthulhu Approves 
so it certainly fits Quakes bestiarium.
And a real beauty it is, at that! 
Same Species I Suspect 
I've read that they have a brainpart for each tentacle and seem to be highly intelligent. Apart from that they have eyes with the seize of a bowling ball, and have extra uv sight like cats.
That a terrible animal can be so hiddious.

Marvelous ! 
Help me get up if you made that with the UnrealrEd v01. Never understood the crashes it caused.

Top notched screenies! 
Some Old Teasers, Warmed Up 
Whoa! Cool!!! 
 
Juicy Stuff 
As always. Looking forward to this along with AD 1.8 
@Mfx 
we are tired of waiting!!! ;-) 
Amazing! 
I've always asked myself how to do such angled brushwork, especialy angled arches. 
I Give Up 
That map I posted screenshots of earlier... I have no motivation to finish it. It's not even a matter of scale... Even if I scaled back my ambitions, I don't even have the motivation to finish even a much smaller layout, let alone populate it, test it, etc.... Whenever I open the editor I just get bored. And in general, I've been coincidentally steadily losing all interest in even playing video games since I started making it, let alone creating something game-related of my own.

And yet, I think it's a unique theme, with some potential. I don't want to fall prey to the sunk cost fallacy (and God knows I sunk plenty of time detailing tiny areas of this unfinished map) so I'm not going to force myself to continue, but would any mappers have any interest in having a peak at the scraps? It would take two minutes for me to drop the map file and the wad files I used into a zip or something and upload it or email it somewhere. Maybe someone will have mercy on my wasted time and do something with it. One can dream. 
That Sucks. 
But I understand.

We should have a general scrap repository on func...
