Quake Upstart Mapping Project 2017 is a 2017 modification for the PC shooter Quake. This project centers on showcasing custom level design, featuring ten unique, user-created maps accessible via a central hub. Its core loop involves navigating these diverse environments built within the Quake engine, intended to highlight varied mapping potential. The content is focused entirely on these new map experiences for the existing shooter framework.
This title functions as a significant modification package for the classic PC first-person shooter, Quake. Released in late 2017, it is centered entirely on expanding the level design possibilities available within the established game engine.
As a modification, the primary gameplay loop remains consistent with the base game: fast-paced, arena-style combat requiring precise movement and weapon handling. This project does not introduce new core mechanics or alter the fundamental shooting and movement systems of the host application.
The central focus of this project is the curated collection of custom content. It features ten distinct, custom-made maps. These levels vary considerably in size and thematic presentation, offering diverse environments for players to navigate and compete within.
The maps were specifically created to demonstrate the breadth of what is achievable using the Quake engine tools. Access to these new environments is facilitated through a dedicated central hub area integrated into the modification.
This content package is primarily aimed at existing players of the base game who are interested in experiencing fresh, community-driven level architecture. Since its release in 2017, the project serves as a static showcase of map creation talent from that period.
The stated goal of the project was to actively encourage and highlight the work of new map creators within the community, providing them a platform to present their designs to the wider player base.
This modification is exclusively available for play on the PC platform, specifically running on Microsoft Windows operating systems.
