Almost 90 minutes to quickly blast through everything on easy difficulty. For comparison hard difficulty has 1669 kills.
Easy is super accessible. Almost constantly on over charged health and armor so monsters don't do much. Toughest enemy is the environment. Yes, I died to my own dumb traps lol.

Feeling much lighter now as first fully playable version of my qbj3 map is done. Hard to find a cool angle to take out of bounds screenshot though haha.
Now back to adding extra stuff for the last 4 days remaining.

I wonder if heavy use of colored lighting in my Quake Brutalist Jam 3 map is a cry for help from all the gray concrete I've been looking at nearly 8 hours every day.
It has been a month now. I've hit this 50k brush count milestone today.

So I recently decided that I want to have a monorail in my map. Brain please, the scope is already too much.

Yeah it is a map alright. 1000 monsters 56 secrets in so far. My own 100% test took me 80 minutes.
Now to build act 3 of the map. Thankfully we got another extension so I can take this much easier now. New qbj3 deadline is at Dec 7th.

Hope I'm not preventing players from progressing with my clever puzzles. Adding some items to point towards the solution haha.
There are so many cool little ideas I've come up with so I want to share at least a few of them here.

Your textures are good source of this. The face part, not butts... or I just don't notice them myself.
Happy little accidents.

Fall is gonna be over soon so here are some last bits of nature before deep diving into concrete jam of QBJ3.
Wish I could get my energy and focus back properly to get a bit more done.

Cooking some meat balls and salad to take with me to the cabin and share with my family. I'm now cooking and food posting only haha.
My visits at home are very brief. Just barely enough time to make stuff like this and other maintenance.

Summer is going well so far! Warm weather finally picked up and swimming is enjoyable. Good bbq food every day.
It really feels great to be disconnected from normal all year around activities. Few more weeks before locking myself inside again.

Very cold and rainy week but at least one day was alright on my recent cabin trip. When the weather is nice, it is really great to be there.
