History Recap / QuakeContractRevoked

-> ''"Contract Revoked is a four level pack created by Kell McDonald and released in 2002. The episode makes heavy use of a new style of texture set called knave that draws inspiration from Quake III Arena's gothic texturework, bringing the brutal but intricate gothic architecture out of the multiplayer arenas, and into a single player world. Another major source of inspiration is the author's hometown of Edinburgh, Scotland, specifically the Old Town section of the capital, with its mixture of late medieval, Victorian, and Edwardian architecture. This texture set would go on to serve as the inspiration for a generation of Quake single player maps, as its rich materials, tiled floors, and shelves upon shelves of books work together as a completely seamless extension of the original environments found in Quake. The style feels decidedly modern, as Contract Revoked would go on to be one of the early examples of a new generation in Quake map design."''
