Forest,
Good job!
I really like this level.
It's really good for a first level.
I look forward to seeing what your next levels look like.

Excellent Forrest!

This is a perfect level! Simple in a deceptive way. I like the use of the signs. The placement and arrangement is neat. I see only good things for your future levels. Keep makin' them and send them to Alex, so he'll add them to the public archive.

Nice level, Forest! The beauty of this level is its simplicity.
Even with the limitations of the pre-existing architecture
that you have at your disposal,
you demonstrate that you can still use what you have in
an inventive way to create an original puzzle.
Good job! And keep it up! Rory.

By the way, is it possible to create new "marble terrain" on a mac? I think I'l get bored with level building soon if i can't.

Thanks guys, I really didn't expect such appreciation.

i'll send it to Alex now.

Currently it's not possible to create a new marble terrain on a mac. You'd need an editing tool called QuArk (not the desktop publishing package) a level editor for Quake, which is only available for Windows.

However, if someone could hunt down Quiver (the mac version of QuArk),
that would be very useful as the only download links on the net are broken.

Quiver...Anyone? No? Quiver...Anyone? No? Quiver...Anyone? No? Quiver...etc.

There another obstacle even if Mac had an editor:

There's no map2dif application for Macintosh as far as I know.

I think more solutions for Mac are on the way once developers recognise it as a viable gamer's platform.
