Hey y'all! I am Fairweather, and I make singleplayer levels for Quake, Team Fortress 2 and Doom!
Here's some of my work, I typically focus on encounter design, but here's some pretty visuals to catch your eye. Reposts appreciated.

QBJ3 is quickly ending up as the largest non-speedmap jam in terms of submissions Quake has ever had. It's approaching Coffee Quake 2 levels of maps, lmao.

How do you even market a game as niche as "its a singleplayer replication of how it feels to heal a raid in world of warcraft"? Like, do I just call the game something like RAID HEALER or something?

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

It's always worth considering, in multiplayer games specifically, whether your game needs a stinky shitty terrible poo-poo bad level made by an absolute moron. People love Operation Metro, Operation Locker, 2fort, Hightower, Dustbowl, Hanamura, Office, Shipment, Nuketown. I could go on.

Trying to find a game, need some help.
It was an MMO style game that you would install from a Japanese website, it had low-poly graphics and looked like a 2000s low-fantasy WoW clone. It was entirely offline afaik, but you could still download and play it. It had this muted, dilapidated art style.

Yes, MD3 doesn't have vertex wobble. The best thing about it though is that it allows us to show BIBLICALLY ACCURATE QBJ3 WEAPONS

I can't tell if the folks who conflate procedural tools with generative AI are uniquely stupid, or just acting in bad faith to score culture-war points.
