Saturday 11th October '97 ------------------------- Title : Colony2: The Culling Station Filename : Colony2.bsp Author : Mark Turner E-mail Address : apocalypse@BTinternet.com I would appreciate any comments or opinions anyone has on this map. I want as much feedback as possible. Thanks for checking this map out! URL : I don't have my own, but some of my favourites are: http://www.btinternet.com/~akuma/ http://www.planetquake.com/spq/matt/ http://www.kvande.com/quake/quake.htm Other publications : I made Colony a while ago, and a few demos here and there. Though most are availible at cdrom.com and http://www.kvande.com/quake/quake.htm Description : This is my second Quake map. Another base level. My next one will be runic, I hope! It's not my favourite type of map, (I prefer the castles theme, like Rituals 'Black Cathederal') but I am pleased with what I have accomplished. I just hope you will be too :) Main Credit to : ID Software whom hath inspired us all! Tim Willits for showing us how these levels should be done. And not forgetting _=AKUMA=_ who publicised this level so well! Additional Credits to : Armin Rigo, the Author of QuArK, and generally all round talented programmer. The creator of the Reaper Bots. _=AKUMA=_, for the testing, and ideas, as well as some useful opinions on styling and design. Crash for a cool web page. Matt Sefton for so many cool levels, and an excellent page.
