1. exploration / speedrunning
2. yes
3 & 4 if the level design is great, yes. i love architecture & aesthetic. the more the map is polished, the more i like to explore. i'm not really into challenge / killing enemies.
5. no
6. ooohhh yes
7. that kind of map is great too, depends on the intent/gameplay. i have an idea for such a map (hopefully i'll have time for a second entry for the 100 brush challenge).
8. if i like the map, yes. mastering a map, and recording clean demos/walkthrouh, and sharing on youtube is great for chilling - no brainner.
9. if the author is here on the board, and connect/share, yes. i'm new to quake (i played it for the first time on 2016) but i've been making maps for goldsrc since 2000'. the community seems very small, but solid - i'm willing to put blood & swear into it.

1. What is your play style like nowadays?
Plodding along the main route.
2. Are you in a hurry to finish the map?
Well I don't piss around.
3. Do you pause to explore and find every nook and cranny?
Not really tbh. I'll attempt to explore each route, but don't go digging into tiny crannies for secrets.
4. Do you feel you have to find every secret?
I don't feel I have to find any secrets.
5. Are you put off by certain monster (horde) setups?
Hellspawn can fuck off. I don't like lots of shamblers at once they zap me like a little bitch.
6. Do you want giant maps to explore and be lost in?
BIG FAT NO
7. Do you want a quick 15 min blast and that is enough?
Yep 15mins sounds good. I usually have a bit of a pile of maps to play at once - I don't play them when they first come out so every few months I'll load up a bunch to get through.
8. Do you play the same map again with different skill levels?
Never.
9. What drives you to give feedback to map authors?
Boredom. Something else to do to avoid work.

1. What is your play style like nowadays?
More skillful but equally cautious, saving from time to time and covering behind corners.
2. Are you in a hurry to finish the map?
No if I'm enjoying it.
3. Do you pause to explore and find every nook and cranny?
Sometimes, if the design is good. I hate secrets completely hidden and mesnt to be found by axing every wall.
4. Do you feel you have to find every secret?
I don't usually find much, only if the design is cool I do some extra search.
5. Are you put off by certain monster (horde) setups?
I hate vores placed away and without option to cover.
6. Do you want giant maps to explore and be lost in?
I hate being lost. I like big maps if well designed.
7. Do you want a quick 15 min blast and that is enough?
Sometimes, others I can spend more time.
8. Do you play the same map again with different skill levels?
No, nowadays I always play on nightmare.
9. What drives you to give feedback to map authors?
Well designed, cared maps are a gift to the community and need all our praise and respect.
