Map-Center

In our second bi-weekly update for Profaned, we delve deeper into using models to project a skybox to create the illusion of more depth for the player to see. Read all about it right here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/393...

Func_arena, your number one source for retro FPS development, has interviewed Kristian Duske, the author of everyone's favourite map editor, TrenchBroom. If you want to learn more about the history and development challenges, you can read it here: funcarena.com

Whether you revisit his work in Duke Nukem 3D, go through all of his (often) hilarious easter eggs, speedrun Quake's Scourge of Armagon, or play SiN: Reloaded, let’s pay tribute to a man who has given us so much entertainment. Rest easy now, Levelord!

"The Marauder. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every mofo in the room, accept no substitutes." Coming to Arcane Dimensions for Quake. Join our Halloween Jam to learn more!

The Arcane Dimensions update for our Halloween Jam has the Cultist from Blood in it. All jammers get to play with this, and soon the community will be dodging his dynamite. Yes, he also shoots his shotgun, but only at close range, and sometimes the true Fiend reveals itself!

We're bringing back the Halloween Jam for Arcane Dimensions with new monsters and weapons for you all to play with. As Sir Arthur Conan Doyle said, "Where there is no imagination, there is no horror." Will you help us bring something wicked to the community? Drop by our Discord server to learn more!

Being a big fan of @arvy.bsky.social, I'm wondering: did you ever take a swing at a reimagined Quake UI? I'm still hoping someone will ever use your take on Dark Forces in a mod.

Our first Redux Jam for Quake 3 Arena has been released with maps from DetroHogga, Obsessed and IoriDyson. You can get them here: lvlworld.com/overview/id:...

It’s hard to believe that Quake is thirty years old today. We already paid tribute with our 30th Anniversary Jam, but this is a little retrospective (tinyurl.com/kv85646e) about the game that means so much to so many of us. Thank you, id Software, @johnromero.bsky.social and the Quake community!

Sock's video highlights the new camera system for Arcane Dimensions. It’s bittersweet because it shows a unreleased map by Bal with music by Markie. If you’re a mapper capable of making Arcane Dimensions quality maps, send me a DM. For now, enjoy! youtu.be/HGxKjF8vQTM?...
