Hello, folks!
It was in the summer, like one week before the Uber Update and I had a lan with a friend. We played Team Fortress 2 that much, you can't even believe what I am talking about - we wanted some other game to play and suddenly Quake 3 Arena came us to mind with all the nostalgia. We had some really fun hours. Some days after this sleepover, I decided to have a look at Hammer again after a long time. I couldn't really think of any map, just when I remembered that Quake map I and my friend recently played. It was all a very fun progress, because I and my friends were able to test the map along the new Uber Update items, but after one week of work I was too lazy to continue work. Now we're here, five months later, and I decided to pick up on it again. I'll also do a KotH version and [i]maybe[/i] a very tweaked ctf version.
It's a somewhat small arena map, that features one giant death pit, that I may need to think about again, because of Pyros. There's also only one bridge leading to the control point, what may get changed aswell. There's not much more to say about the map itself, just watch the pictures.
Currently the map is still in a test phase and I will release an actual playable .bsp file with the first beta release, which will also feature the KotH version.
[b]Oh right, don't miss my blog, which will feature wip's for more than just this one map here. [url]http://royalk.tumblr.com/[/url][/b]

That's right! I just polished a few things up and compiled it, so that you can play it finally. Please give me some feedback, because, of course, I don't want to stop supporting this map aswell as keep it updated.

Always good to see Quake map remakes.
Looking forward to playing the final version.
Looks pretty cool. Ahh Quake 3 nostalgia.
I never owned a quake game unfortunately, nevertheless, this map looks very good.
Have you thought about a fence for the pyro problem? Not a big one, just about high enough to crouch-jump over.
Glorious memories of using a gauntlet to smack Klesk into the pit. I love you for making this.
I love seeing Quake content getting some love. I still play Quakelive at every opportunity I get, this is one of the maps I usually jump around in the Clan Arena mode on, although the server I go on has a modified version that doesn't allow pitfall deaths :v:
Thanks for all the love. I am going to release a beta version in the next two or three days if I'm not too busy because of sports and school.
Alright - I'm sorry for the double post, but I'd like to bump this thread because of this SUPER SPECTACULAR BETA RELEASE. Yep, it's right. You can download and play this map now. Please give me some actual feedback.
This looks pretty good, nicely done :smile:
I started to make a concept for the KotH version just now. Don't know, when it will get released. Probably in the next few days or at latest next week. This will also include some fixes for the Arena version. I'll be posting some wip pictures. So stay tuned!

Yes, it's the first pictures of the KotH version, which of course needs an altered spawn area. To prevent instadying when running out of spawn, I added more walls. FEEDBACK WANTED
