This month I'm making a scene with every other day and calling it HALL-oween. All geometry is built with #ScytheEditor in #UnrealEngine This first one is inspired by the jails in Diablo 2 #gamedev #UE5 #gameart

Refreshing my brain with the Scythe 0.11 for #UnrealEngine 5.8 with a quick #archviz style hall all built in editor today. Paintings and floor textures from Realistic Rendering. #gamedev #UE5 #screenshotsaturday

In reimagined 'The Eagle' from The Legend of #Zelda (NES) for the #Quake #Minecraft Jam in what proves to be a confusing mashup. #gamedev #leveldesign #lowpoly #screenshotsaturday

Started the Rooftops Jam for #QUAKE. I'm somewhere between detail ideas and blockout. #gamedev #leveldesign #lowpoly #screenshotsaturday

Blockout vs Couple days work modeling with Scythe Editor for UnrealEngine and materials in Substance Designer. UVs using Scythe's Hotspot feature is super quick! #gamedev #leveldesign #UE5 #unrealengine #screenshotsaturday @kronok.bsky.social

New area blockout is coming together darkly. All built with Scythe Editor. #gamedev #leveldesign #UE5 #unrealengine #screenshotsaturday

The first test release of my #QUAKE episode (six maps plus start map) is available to download on the Quake Mapping Discord. #gamedev #leveldesign #lowpoly

Working on the items/enemy placements in my boss map. Inching closer to complete while being distracted by jams. :D #quake #gamedev #leveldesign #screenshotsaturday #lowpoly

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

I'm late for #screenshotsaturday, but I put together this transitional area for what may be the boss map for my #quake episode. #leveldesign #gamedev #lowpoly

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Worked way too long last night on lighting and encounters, and it's a lot of fun angles and loops. Now to finish details. #screenshotsaturday #leveldesign #gamedev #Quake

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Getting much closer to the playtest phase of my #Quake episode. Five maps are near complete. Then I have to finish the boss and start map. #screenshotsaturday #leveldesign #gamedev

Q30 Limits Jam, create a map based on original game limitation, was this week. I reimagined DM4 as a singleplayer map with more running around than teleporting. #quake #gamedev #leveldesign #screenshotsaturday

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

There was a speedmapping jam yesterday with tight restrictions of 96 brushes, 30 monsters in 30 hours so why not? I'll link when it's released. Looks like 26 maps total. #gamedev #leveldesign #quake

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

A few final images from my Solid Colors Jam map. The whole map pack should be out in a few days. #gamedev #leveldesign #quake #ScreenshotSaturday

Hello #ScreenshotSaturday! Here's a test scene where I built all the geometry in #Scythe Editor by @kronok and all textures in Substance Designer. #gamedev #unrealengine

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

I was taking these shots and left a whole level floating in the background sky. This is fine. #screenshotsaturday #TemptGame #unrealengine #gamedev

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Some major overhauling of c1m4. a bit more detail in the second half and it'll be done. #quake #gamedev #leveldesign #screenshotsaturday

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

I've been enjoying building this place up like each room is it's own unique building. My early concerns of how to handle this multi-angled tiered blockouts have been laid to rest! #quake #gamedev #leveldesign

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Throwback! I found my single texture sheet Unreal Tournament level I made maybe 20 years ago? #UnrealEngine #screenshotsaturday #leveldesign #gamedev

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Unreal Tournament 2004 is still cool.

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

c1m2 pretty much finished. A bit more lighting polish and added secrets will wrap it up. #quake #gamedev #leveldesign

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

I also have a custom start map.

Chris Holden @chrisholden.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Six years ago I started assembling a #Quake episode. I dug it out of a old hard drive last night and got it all setup to work. Some areas are blockouts and some are closer to complete. Maybe I can finish it up. #leveldesign #gamedev

Using the #Scythe plugin by @kronok.bsky.social for #UnrealEngine, I modeled this sci-fi hall in two evenings. I would rebuild most of it with what I learned, but it was fun to make. #screenshotsaturday
