Well I finally finished the pack and I can easily say this was awesome! There wasn't a bad map to be found here and with all of the new authors contributing here, it's great to know that the community talent pool is just growing. Thanks everyone for such a great pack!

Thanks for the kind words ArrrCee!
I made a few bits and bobs in the 00s (mostly speedmaps) but this is the first map I've put out in nearly 10 years. And I can't take all the credit for it either as it was essentially a remake, with multiple rooms recreated from Anders Persson's 'tfl' series (which is probably why you found the first main area so familiar, as well as the general oldskool feel). They were some of the first custom Q1SPs I played; I still love their scale and simple-but-effective 3D setpieces. This partly explains the map title too :D
I do love these commentary videos, had a great time watching this as well as ionous & Shambler's Twitch recordings. Entertaining as well as offering valuable insight.
So
What's up with the DLC/2.0 update?

Glad you enjoyed it. I’ll admit the early arena was too difficult, but I was running out of time. Production went right up to the deadline, and I had to cut a fair bit (noclip with fullbright on to get a scope of some of it).

That map from Skacky, particularly the first half, is amazing. I'd love to see all Skacky's levels pulled out of the many jams and put into a single release. By my count about 12-13 maps, maybe 3 episodes which would probably end up longer to complete than Quake itself. They kind of get lost within mapjams and you don't remember which jam has which but if it was all one release which properly flowed one map to the next, it'd probably be the best set of proper episodes ever.
