Was reticent to post my game on here but it looks like I wouldn't actually be alone which is nice! I've been building an eldritch horror peggle survivors-like (genres are fluid ok), which has been on a bit of a mad journey from beginning as some sort of bloodbowl flavoured subbuteo, to a gravity well air hockey game, to what is now known as Disciple where you feed a hungering Abyss-god by launching yourself into it and collecting enough essence on the way down to make sure it lets you live for another go. There's builds and esoteric shops and different map biomes and enemies etc. I think its a lot of fun.
Twitter, sorry X, weirdly has a really nice and welcoming game dev community so I've mostly been posting about it over there where you can check out progress posts: https://x.com/AngryGoblinDev

It was always crazy to me the Quake team never jumped on the boomer-shooter bandwagon by releasing a new retro Quake... Excited to play this.
Absolutely played the arse off Quake 2 multiplayer when I was a young'un too, weirdly made so many IRL friends from local Quake 2 servers, you don't really get that from modern multiplayer games...
