The cropping around these “enhanced” images is terrible. You can see the terrible cropping of the sprites with long flat lines and garish cutoffs in the preview photos above. Doesn’t get any better when it’s laid over the game.

I’ll leave you with a quote from Inigo Montoya.

“So did Vizzini — when a job went wrong, you went back to the beginning. And this is where we got the job. So it’s the beginning, and I’m staying till Vizzini comes.”

I hope you can get your act together.

Sincerely,

Spooky

I review the above mods as a 3/5 and the review below as a 4/5 giving an overall score of 4/5.

Thought I might not like this but actually pretty cool. Made me laugh on Electric Sheep Three. Good choice of aesthetics suits the game well.

..only the genius possess and the insane lament

I will update this rating once I actually make it past the first level without cheating but you get 5 stars based on the soundtrack alone.

Another banger. What a fucking rush I killed so many walrus(s)? with my AK-47. I spent a while trying to kill the Giant Purple Mutant Hellbeast at the end because I was convinced he would drop the last diamond. Managed to make it into part of the map with no escape looking for diamonds, hint: there are no diamonds in the lava pit... or are there?

If you want my advice take out some weapons from the map, they are redundant you can only have one of each.. also maybe make it so you have to work for 'em? Also would be nice if you could borrow the part of Wrks script that allows for weapons XP, the spice of life my friend, the spice of life. Anywho actually loved this mini scenario finished it start to finish in a few hours and taped the proof. Catchya mate.

This is a superb effort. The textures are fantastic they look like computer circuit boards making you feel like you are in some twisted Machine's sick idea of entertainment. 5/5.

Turnabout Intruders - masterful staircases, good flow, narrow ledges, satisfying gaps for viewing landscape texture around the perimeter of the map, interesting use of colours and textures and a sensible size for current multiplayer games style.

Inaugural Trams - masterfully crafted height map. Perfectly spaced towers in proportion to platform height. Dull grey dystopian feel with odd bits of snow (or ash?) looks cool.

Channel Z - a rather attractive compulsory sewer level.

The Tremelo Call - You know this map has some promise but doesnt seem finished. Good 5D staircase to build around. Something fishy about basalt columns, not your best work here, consider how they are generally in a field of similar size columns and the height can vary widely the base shape spacing not so much. Something to think about.

Nice work

This was the deepest most mysterious, and secrets packed Marathon yet.

Durandal has become more poetic and alien in intelligence than ever. He is able to project esoteric straight into the cyborgs mind and I believe this is what we see.

I thought Marathon 4 was on par with Spacial Outpouring for best Marathon since YUGE. 5 stars.

I loved it as you already know. Fantastic first effort.

We were wondering if you could shed some light on the story.

There is a channel in the server called the Coming of Mazaro. We would love it if you paid us a visit. We will be hosting coop runs of your scenario.

Classic Marathon Day surprise.

Nicely done sir.

Wrk is the anathema of platitudinous marathon cartography.

Thanks for everything.

Kinda surprised these maps didn't accidentally teleport you all over the place. If you read the Forge manual it sort of explains this bug that if there are too many lines that are completely parallel to each other you get teleported away. Happens to me all the time and you get away with this! Lol!

The map making skill here is incredible. Rubicon is my fav scenario and dare I say this is better. Terminals are a bit lacking, in spelling and content, but are humorous. Aqua is a doofus I got through the first level he mentioned fine stuck on the second one he mentioned so I'm going to assume I need to keep looking. Almost finished was just looking for a walkthrough. I wont cheat I promise.

Deserves more stars. Would give 6 if I could.

Edit: Can confirm whole scenario can be played through. Aqua you were on the other side of that door earlier look at your map :p

More original maps in a unique style. Gotta get a game with Adminn he'll kick your ass!

Fantastic map it deserves the 5 stars for the interesting customised looking terminal. Was fun testing it with you. Hope to see even bigger more extravagant maps in the future. Loved the detail!

Cheers, Spooky

Such a clever cookie! Thanks Raven!

I am thrilled with this new version. Binding the action key to the inventory was a bit tricky but once you figure out the controls this total conversion is thoroughly addictive. Easy 5 stars as expected from Wrk.

This map cements W'rk as the king of Marathon. The skill here is incredible. Those damn penguins though I will kill them somehow. The sprites on the penguins are a little rough around the edges but altogether an amazing map package. Well done.

What a fantastic first project! You keep coming up with great ideas making a map pack with a map for some of the regulars each to be played on a marathon day was an original idea that you followed through very well. Great work!

Haha this map rocks! Literally. Nice basalt columns. For those that don't know what those hexagonal pillars were google columnar basalt. Thanks Heron!

I can see the potential not going to bother texturing it myself. Won't do it justice sounds like the experimental textures would have made it. Very cool.

Kindest Regards,

Spooky

Totally crazy. Very original wasn't expecting that. Top map for Rubicon.

Kindest Regards,

Spooky

Lorem Opus :C

In the words of my friend asdkzx who I played co op with: "yo spooky that was some life changing shit. for real, I don't think I have ever played something like that"

Changed our whole perspective on shit. Great job loved it. Up to Casualties of the Wingding Zone save point on Total Carnage solo play. Just gets more and more interesting. A true classic. Thanks.

Kindest regards,

Spooky

HOLY FUCK THIS IS A MASTERPIECE! TURNED M1 INTO A COOL VERSION OF STAR TREK!!!

Loved playing this coop with you. Was a very impressive early effort. Keep 'em coming and keep shooting!

Kindest Regards,

Spooks
