Aaron Logue

🇮🇪

Aaron Logue is a level designer. He has often gone by the alias Gyro Gearloose. He lived in Seattle, Washington and was in his early thirties when he started making levels for Quake.

Logue was a strong supporter of DOS, feeling a lot of features in Windows 95 were improperly handled. He therefore primarily used Quest when making his levels.

In addition to Quake, Logue was heavily interested in architecture, especially in the area he lived. He often looked into books such as The History of Western Architecture which in turn influenced his level design.

He was a fan of Fear Castle. He tended to get lost in the official Quake levels, but loved various pieces of architecture such as the lamps in E4M5: Hell's Atrium or the windows in E2M6: the Dismal Oubliette. He also was a big fan of the dark style often done by American McGee.
