Quake Brutalist Jam III

Summary

Quake Brutalist Jam III is a megalithic community project more than a year in the making. It features an entirely new arsenal, a set of new monsters, new powerups, and a complete visual overhaul of Quake's existing roster. The community came out in force, producing an unprecedented 77 maps, pushing the limits of the Quake engine to bring the oppressive, gritty, and beautiful aesthetic of brutalism to life. The goal for QBJ3 was to make something uniquely ambitious for the community to build with us. Beginning production in the winter of 2024, the team slow-cooked a total conversion mod in (semi) secret. In October 2025 the work-in-progress mod was unleashed upon the community, who spent the next six weeks exploring its tools, testing its limits, and ultimately creating the worlds for the mod to take place in. Thank you to everyone who made this project possible, either through direct contribution, cheering from the sidelines, badgering us about a release date, or dutifully paying attention to the project. Please enjoy the worlds we've all spent so long crafting. Installation Mod: 1. Purchase and download Quake. Steam / GOG 2. Download the Ironwail source port, and place it within your Quake directory. 3. Extract the content of the archive with directories preserved into your Quake directory (etc/quake/). 4. If done correctly, Ironwail.exe should be alongside the id1 and qbj3 folders. 5. Launch Ironwail, open the console by hitting escape and type "game qbj3" before hitting enter. Standalone: 1. Extract the content of the archive into a folder. 2. Click "QBJ3.exe" Engines Quake Brutalist Jam III was created for explicit use with the Ironwail source port, version 0.8.1 and above. If using other engines, especially the Quake Remaster, expect issues. It is highly recommended you upgrade to the latest version of Ironwail for full compatibility.
