  "account": "The Quake community continues to impress as they celebrate the shooter's 30th anniversary with their latest offering, the Q30 Deathmatch Jam. Annihilazor and Infiniti organized the map-pack which includes 22 new arenas designed to be played with regular old Quake. The maps span various Quake settings, from gothic castles to sci-fi kill-zones and an industrial brown sewer called The Filth Pit. Notable designers from the fan community have contributed, including Mazu and Makkon who collaborated on Overflow, a map that was also the organizer of Quake Brutalist Jam 3. The Q30 Deathmatch Jam is designed to work with multiple modern Quake sourceports, such as Ironwail, Netquake, and Kex port. Players can either install it as a standalone mod or play online via Netquake or QuakeWorld servers. This is just one of the many Quake-related events that have taken place this year, including the release of Quake Brutalist Jam 3 and the new episode of Quake developed by id Software in collaboration with Machine Games for the shooter's 30th anniversary.",
