Hey y'all! I am Fairweather, and I make singleplayer levels for Quake, Team Fortress 2 and Doom!

Here's some of my work, I typically focus on encounter design, but here's some pretty visuals to catch your eye. Reposts appreciated.

I really liked the character designs for this.

Oh damn, thanks for putting me on to the Static Rifle. I don't know how it works in practice, but having to hit shots mid RJ or Bhop would be sick for an arena shooter weapon.

Doom 2016 had a pretty sub-par score-attack mode.

Neat. I do wonder why there's a Teen rating limitation, though.

Have a new Quake pack: High Seas! A cleaned up and hugely expanded version of the pirate themed textures I made for my old Remix Jam map I Shot The Albatross.

I try to be a happy-go-lucky kinda guy these days but seeing people feverishly try to defend the use of AI in art and modding communities specifically because they're "here to stay" pushes my fuckin' buttons. Have a backbone.

That being said, the most iconic textures from E1 / Start.bsp are brown metal, brown bricks, brown bricks again, tan bricks, and brown rock so I can see how folks got the idea lmao

That's a misconception tbh. I don't think there's much more brown in the Q1 palette vs any other retro fps palette.

the screenshots shouldn't surprise me but the audacity is nuts to me. supporting the genocidal settler colony because they're slipping you a crisp lincoln is fucking nuts

This is why I can't do it, man. I wish I had the wherewithal to stick with it for longer than 2 weeks before I find some unfixable problem that drives me up the wall.
