Sorry, there are 3 silver keys and 3 silver doors not 2, but the bug with sequence is still exist. 

#33, I mean grenade jump, not rocket. I didn't have rocket at that moment.

I noticed a very interesting detail on this map. The hub shows 6 secrets total, but I found 7th by accident and now hub shows 7/7, not 6/6 like before. I didn't know it is possible in Quake or maybe it is another bug of count. 

Your explanation is confusing. The map can be done in any order that doesn't include grenade jumping up to the key to break the sequence, that's the only bug that exists currently.
The secret "bug" is a feature in Copper, "Super-secret" areas only show on the counter when triggered, thus increasing the count. This also happens on many maps, including D1M4. 

My explanation can be confusing, because my English is not native language, sorry.

You are right, the map can be done in any order. I did grenade jumping, because it was natural way for me, especially if the key is so close to my eyes. If you are player with logic like mine, this leads you to failure on maps like this. I agree that grenade jumping is kind of cheating, but after these all years playing Quake, it become regular for more experienced players I think. Such tricks shouldn't be required to complete a level, because beginners don't have to know about these, so this map is 100% correct of course ;) Is grenade jumping a bad habit?

Maybe different keys and doors in different colors would brighten this problem for both players and level designers.

I didn't know about "Super-secret" in Cooper and of course it is not a bug, but for me it is confusing. I want to have more fun on good maps like this, so I do secret's hunt in order to extend a pleasure time and I would like to know when I can stop my hunting ;)

These all are only my personal thoughts. I know your works are all free, so please do not think I complain. I really enjoy "Dwell" and again thank you all very much :) 

You're right to point this out. Grenade jumping of course was not one of the main paths to complete the level, but I had considered it as a possibility and assumed that it would not break anything because of the way I had things set up. Turns out it does break the map after all. This will be fixed in the next version. 

long time ago on map e4m4

So, rocket and grenade jumpers rights are matter ;)
Due to GJ incredible Bin Dunne Gorne 2 can be completed with only One key on each map, but it not crashes level logic anyway. 

HD textures were not legalized anywhere. 

I mean HD textures like counterfeit, such a pale copy of masterpies, created by artist. But some people likes it. What's bad about it? And yet one: what cost HD textures, created by various autors, and me, of course, without many maps, created talented people for years? Nothing! And I am calm. Everyone on this communuty loves this Game, and they just show it for whole world how strong his love. 

”Btw Arkngt, the nightmare secret is exceedingly easy now..”

Haha, well, normal was fine for the first playthrough. The boss fight was insane, in a good way. Even more so than Mazu's end fight in Realm of the Lost, which I also love.

Next playthrough will be on hard. 

... is crazy. No need to compete with the ending of ARWOP, you know.

Seeing as I only found 6/24 secrets (I usually don't look too hard on the first run), however, I suspect there are easier ways to finish this.

Thanks to everyone involved for this great episode. I can't wait for the sequel. 

I tried the mod with QS Spike, and got an app crash while playing map d1m4.

Also, got a semi-crash to the console after selecting the hard difficulty : The first map didn't loaded and returned to the console instead.

I also noticed a weird monster motion when they first appear in front of me, like some kind of laggy teleportation or something. I never saw this before with any other mod.

Here' my settings on app launch :

-game dwell +skill 3 -heapsize 480000 -zone 4096 -sndspeed 44100 -fsaa 2 

What OS? There's a known issue with loading D1M4 with Debian-based Linux systems which will be fixed in a few hours as Patch2 is rolling out.

I'm not sure what all of those extra commands are, you definitely don't need them to play Dwell, as QSS was the main development target engine and runs perfectly on 64bit Windows machines, MacOS and Arch with default settings. 

Yes, the teleportation bug is something to do with how Copper does things. Again, there should be a fix going out in patch2. 

Just finished the episode on hard and, yeah, the boss battle was even more insane than on normal. Took several tries and at one time I killed the boss and happily stopped in my tracks - just to get obliterated by his last missile.

Anyway, I appreciate the effort that has gone into the different difficulties. It's not just the amount of enemies, but power ups and even how some of the traps are set up. 

Not done with my playthrough yet- savoring this one a level or two at a time.

Playing on normal, and it's a great mix of challenges in each level so far. Just got through 'Under a Funeral Moon', and there's this stairs encounter that is setup so well (toward the end, iirc). Makes you climb all the way to the top of the stairs to keep up with the placed and spawning monsters. I thought that was genius encounter design there. Puts you in an urgent situation, but rewards methodical movement and careful progression. I felt the previous rooms prepared me to handle it as well. Kind of a building momentum.

That's just one bit of several amazing moments thus far. Looking forward to continuing on. May post again when I'm done. 

I collected both keys, but cannot find anything to open.
Looking at a walkthorugh I found that there's a blue scarab in the tower, but when I get there, I only have a MegaHealth. Playing on Quakespasm 0.93.0. +sv_protocol999 -heapsize 262144. Skill 3.

What gives?
Did I do something wrong? 

You did. I posted a hint in the Quaddicted thread. 

Hey y'all, what will probably be the (hopefully) final patch for Episode 1 is here! This fixes all bugs that have been reported to us.
The fix for lerping monsters in QSS is in the newest dev build of the engine, which you can find here.
In this build, we're also pushing a prepackaged version of the mod, including the latest version of Quakespasm Spiked and the mod, just add Id1 and hit that batch file!

The only first variant of map has the same thing. Second ver. (from P1) I do not have already. 

Played on skill 1. Pretty awesome pack, especially the final couple of maps, but the episode overall is remarkably consistent. I really like that Copper is becoming the next big "mapper's mod." The more I play levels with/for it the more I appreciate the subtle ways its tweaks Quake's basic gameplay.

I didn't find it too hard but I'm the sort of person who enjoys Tronyn maps. I'd have to replay them to be sure, but I feel like the final fight was easier than certain Tronyn battles due to the respawning ammo and armor. (I'm not sure how I feel about the trend of respawning supplies, since it tends to devalue secrets, though there is an argument that it encourages more complex movements than "mere circle strafing" since you have to adjust your route to coincide with spawn points—there's a slaughtermap concept for you.)

On the other hand I made a pretty poor showing with finding secrets except on a couple maps. Any hint on what level to look for the secret map?

Thanks a lot, I was blown away by the level of consistency myself honestly. My favorite has to be D1M2 though, so many Quads!

I agree, it's also got a very well commented and clean codebase so it's perfect to build a large project like this off of, Lun deserves a lot of praise for that.

I sort of agree with the final fight, but there's something to be said about having to manage your resources closer like that. I just wish there were more "Oh shit!" moments like the final Shambler / ect where you really have to pump some LG to take minimal damage.
If it was me, a good 15 or so vores would have spawned.. or something on the same level of stupid :D

The order of the screenshots on Quaddicted is a good hint :) It's a multi-part russian nesting doll secret too. Enjoy.

Yep, this looks like a bug. Unless we have larger updates needed it looks like that one'll be staying in until Episode 2 hits, unfortunate to say. 

Sorry if this was already mentioned or asked somewhere, but will the other episodes be released separately like a 'standalone' mods/folders (dwell2, etc) or will there be a complete release?

Also, will the other episodes be released one by one? Judging by "until Episode 2 hits", seems like they will be released one by one when they are ready.

There will be a complete release, packaged with Episodes 1 and 2, then 3/4.

Also, will the other episodes be released one by one?
Final bit of the Overview at the top of the page should have you covered :) 

After finishing the entire episode, here are my 5 cents:

Pro:
+ Level design is amazing. Best Egyptian architecture I have seen in Quake since a while
+ Items are (often) respawning, so you shouldn't run out of ammo/powerups
+ Copper changes blend in just fine
+ Secret level lives up to expectations (if you find it)
+ Impressive boss battle

Con:
- Very hard, even on Easy (think Plutonia)
- Later levels are complex and difficult to navigate --> you can get physically exhausted (D1M7-D1M9 are for masochists)
- It's often dark, making it challenging to play during daytime
- Secrets are hard to find (e.g. secret exit)

So bottom line: The first 3 or 4 maps were just a delight (D1M2 especially - beautiful lighting, reminded me of Serious Sam), then it got too hard for me, not just regarding monster amounts/placement, but also level complexity. I prefer smaller maps, but I guess this episode isn't meant to be played in one sitting. Eventually you reach a point when you just want to get things over with - that's the time to take a break. I am definitely digging the Egyptian setting which is well executed and blends in with the early Rogue maps from DoE, just much nicer and longer. Also I didn't have any crashes with QSS.

It's still absolutely worth playing this, however I would have wished for more lenient/forgiving gameplay on the lower difficulties.
