  1. This brought back so many memories. #Quake3 and #UT99 were a huge part of my life back then, genuinely good times.

    Now #gameplay footage from #Quake4: The Awakening has surfaced on #YouTube, an expansion that was cancelled after only ten months of development. The footage shows early environments, experimental mechanics and content that was clearly never finished.

    Mostly documentary value, but still a fascinating look at what could have been.
    Apparently some elements like the Dead Zone #multiplayer mode actually made it into the 1.3 update back then.

    Bittersweet to watch.

  11. I was poking around a source port called Quake3e last night. The new renderer can add subtle UT99-style coronal glows to light sources.

    It amuses me how much of a tell that is for UT99 environments. Q3A's feel shifts dramatically towards UT99 with these flares turned on.

  12. Being around FOSS a while sometimes you don't realize how formative certain games are, like I think mentally because I was around when Linux had nowhere near the spread it does now, being the kid who played Tux Racer feels like a very personal, almost private experience. Who played that?

    But then you run across people who say, "Oh, OpenArena was a huge part of my youth, I'd play it all the time after school" and it hits you how important these games are, especially with economies being what they are today. Even dropping ten bucks on an older title like Quake 3 might be prohibitive.

    FOSS games and especially FOSS spinoffs of games are even more important now with a growing awareness of the monstrous behaviour of game studios and publishers. I'm super into Quake 4 right now, but can I really ask people who didn't buy it on launch in 2005 to throw money at Bethesda today? I can't.

    And that makes me sad. It feels like there's a piece of history being lost here, like I don't expect Quake 4 to have some renaissance on the level of Quake 1, but it does feel like the clock is ticking because it was never open-sourced.

    A friend joked we could name a FOSS spinoff "OpenStrogg", heh.

  13. It's the first day of December, and you know what that means: ROCKET JUMPING.

    This was floating around QuakeCon a while back, and I like to keep it circulating this time of year.

    Quake is on a Steam sale right now; picking it up and downloading TrenchBroom is a great way to get into level design!

  15. This guy on the #LANParty book title is no disappointment.

    I think he plays a rocketarena map. This reminds me of the time when those servers turned empty. Combined with their minimalism the loneliness there was like double melancholia in a lost place.

    Also he uses a trackball. Never dared to try that. Does it work for ego shooters?

  16. Productive and educational (no pun intended) week. Completed a lot of prep for the new #k12 school year. Have more new (to our school) #EnglishLearners than I expected, so that's great news.

    As always, looking forward to #AdultESL this weekend. Prepping for that now, then going to play some old-school #Quake3.

    The things you can do with hooks when the core internals of an engine haven't changed that much.
