Executive Quarters was my first attempt at a single player map for Doom 3. It took a long time, it was just a hobby after all.
After release, it got a lot of good attention from modding and news sites covering Doom 3. A couple of gaming magazines did full blown stories on it and one even interviewed me, but they were all in other countries since US magazines don't tend to focus on mods. This level was my portfolio piece when applying for jobs in the games industry. It landed me my first job as a level designer at Gray Matter in 2004.
As of 2026, it's been downloaded 2.4 million times on moddb.com alone.
The story is about a UAC executive who brought their family to visit in the fancy Executive Quarters wing, when the demon invasion began. Not all family members survived... one did.
Executive Quarters also featured the Shambler enemy, reimagined, built and animated by a modder called Henk "Obi-Wan" Bernhardt (who also worked with me on the Quake Mod - Shambler's Castle)
