The Shambler's Cube

This map was posted on the SDA forum years and years ago. Demos were also made on the map, but somehow it drifted into oblivion, and the demos as well as the map were lost. Luckily Mathias Thore still had the map lying around on his harddrive, so let's inject some new life into this short little gem of a map. The map in question is The Shambler's Cube, by Droog Andrey.

  1. This contest will end Midnight CET, Thursday, October 1st, 2009.
  2. Send your demos to quake @ speeddemosarchive.com
  3. Name your demo and the accompanying textfile in the format cube_eh/nh_playername.dem/txt. Someone named Clyde may send in cube_eh_clyde.dem, for example.
  4. Download the map by clicking on this link.
  5. QdQstats must be used to get the exact time.
  6. The Easy 100% (skill 0) and Nightmare 100% (skill 3) are being contested.
  7. Standard QuakeSDA rules apply.
  8. Hint: You exit the map by rocketjumping into the roof in one of the corners of the map.


18 entries in total. The winning times ended up being much faster than I would have anticipated, with Mathias Thore taking the top honors for the Easy 100%, closely followed by Basil de Vries and Rugter Baks. The Nightmare 100% saw Basil de Vries claiming the grand prize, with Damian Kulot and Flavio Quadros not being far behind. Well done all of you.
