This title is a mod for the classic PC shooter, Quake, released on August 19, 2015, for Microsoft Windows. As a mod, it represents a community-driven expansion built upon the foundation of its parent game, offering new content created by players for players. The core experience revolves around intense, fast-paced arena combat, a hallmark of the original Quake experience. This particular mod focuses on delivering a thematic set of levels, providing fresh environments for players to engage in familiar shooter gameplay.

Thematic Level Design

The primary appeal of this mod lies in its curated collection of 13 levels, all centered around a "Fire and Brimstone" theme. This thematic approach aims to create a distinct atmosphere and visual style across the new environments. A dedicated start map is included to guide players into the experience, and the pack also features a couple of new skyboxes to enhance the visual presentation of these fiery locales. The inclusion of map sources means players can explore the design of these new arenas or even use them as a basis for their own modifications.

Technical Considerations and Gameplay Enhancements

To fully experience all the content within this mod, certain technical requirements and recommendations are noted. Some maps are designed with advanced features that may necessitate the use of engine ports with increased limits, such as those supporting 2PSB. Additionally, the implementation of fog and colored lighting is recommended to achieve the intended visual fidelity and atmosphere of the "Fire and Brimstone" theme. Players may also need to adjust the default heap size in their engine configuration for specific maps, with comments provided for guidance.

What is the core gameplay experience?

The core gameplay experience is rooted in the fast-paced, arena-style first-person shooting that Quake is known for. Players will navigate through the newly designed, thematically consistent levels, engaging in combat against various enemies or other players, depending on the game mode. The mod's value proposition is the addition of fresh, community-created content that extends the lifespan and replayability of the original game by offering new environments and challenges.

Content and Availability

This mod package does not include any downloadable content (DLCs), expansions, remakes, or remasters. It is a self-contained content pack released in 2015. All available content is included within the initial release.

Additional Information

This mod is a product of a community project, specifically the "Func Jam 6" event held at Func_Msgboard. The focus is on the creative output of the community in designing and implementing new levels within the established framework of Quake.
