SPACEWARD is an all spacectf and skyward movie, a project that's been co-operated between two players who share the same taste in fine map-architecture,

mouse* and

creep.

Creators word

creep:

This project began when I was contacted by mouse* asking if I would mind using his demos to create a movie. It didn't take long for me to accept his offer after I watched through his amazing democollection he sent me. As I by the time had a lot of spacectf demos collected myself, I proposed the idea of a combined movie surrounding in a sky/space-ish atmospehere. The result came out as good as we both imagined it.

While it took a lot of time for me to finally release the final piece, most of the work was done with the preperation of the scenes themself. Every skyward sequence in SPACEWARD have smooth moving clouds floating above the map. This effect could only (by my poor editing experiences) be rightfully made with rendering every scene twice, one with the floating clouds, and a second with a normal skyboxtexture halfly covered in greenscreen. A lot of effort was put into this, but it was all worth it in the end.

Big thanks to mouse* for giving me this pleasure to put my creativity in motion with his resources and help, and a shoutout to all my homeboys in space o/

mouse*

Originally this movie was meant to be my last fragged by mouse* part since I'm only a filthy casual these days and I stopped collecting demos. My crappy notebook at that time was not strong enough to edit and render videos so I decided to outsource the project. I contacted several movie makers and knowing his editing skills I decided for creep. In fact, he offered to throw in his collected space demos and create a 2-map project. Knowing creep´s unreal skill as a player I said yes immediately of course. Many months later here we are and I am stunned by its quality and content.

Although I did not take part in any of the editing, creep constantly asked me for my opinion, proposed songs and sent me sample scenes so that I can honestly say I was very much involved in the project and contributed to its development.

All my heart and thanks goes out to my buddy creep who made this project possible with his superb frags and masterful editing. I hope many of you will enjoy it as much as I do.

2D Demo Viewer Reborn (50 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by myT @ 01:51 CDT, 4 July 2016 - iMsg

The 2D demo viewer has come back to life! The code is all new, and here are the biggest differences compared to the old program:
- all Quake 3 and Quake Live demo formats are supported, from dm3 to dm_91
- no longer using Qt, the Windows version requires Direct3D 11 and the Linux version uses the GLFW library
- heat maps and some other stuff :)
- so far, I've worked on this new viewer alone

Gustafsson released Q1 SP Episode (10 comments)

( Major News: Q1)

Posted by Badb0y @ 10:56 CDT, 2 July 2016 - iMsg

In celebration of 20 Years of Quake, Executive Producer Jerk Gustafsson from MachineGames (Wolfenstein The New Order 2014), released a custom singleplayer mappack called "Episode 5: Dimension of the Past" last week. It contains nine small to medium-sized levels of various themes including a start map, a secret map and a deathmatch arena.

Readme

The mappack is a mix of Quake 1 original and later fan mapping trends. Unchanged are the Q1 textures, monster, sounds and soundtrack, to get the retro feel alive. The gameplay is very fluid. It also has good visuals and nice ideas and fights in it. Some secrets are hard to find. I played Q1 right before the new mappack so i can say for sure its a good one. For reactions of the release surf to the mapping site func_msgboard.

Get it, play it, celebrate Quake!

The runs in this movie are tool-assisted, utilizing scripts and special software. The game physics were not altered. Nonetheless, these records are excluded from the official rankings. The runs in this movie are performed on the maps from the competition DFWC2012.

This is my first movie and I have no editing skills, so please don't expect much. If you like scripted runs, I hope you like these =)

INSIGHT - Arena FPS game on Greenlight (28 comments)

( Major News: Gaming)

Posted by insightFPS @ 20:56 CDT, 30 June 2016 - iMsg

Here is the Greenlight campaign and trailer for a game I've been working on by myself for over a year. (steam)

youtube

This isn't simply another Quake remake, it is an arena FPS that has been built from scratch with an original concept. There are many influences from games such as Q3, HL, CS, but the unique gameplay is something new.

My goal is to get this greenlit and backed on Kickstarter soon, so that the game can be further developed with other people helping out to improve the overall quality of the game.

There has been a large focus on making sure the game and concept is fit for competitive gaming, so I thought it may interest some of you. And while there will be fun / easy / casual game modes to play around on, the game is a competitive arena FPS at its core.

If you have a Steam account, please log in and vote YES if you might be interested in playing the game when it's released.

Congratulations Quake - 20 years today! (66 comments)

( Major News: Q1)

Posted by Åke Vader @ 05:06 CDT, 22 June 2016 - iMsg

Today it has been 20 years since the gateways to other dimensions went operational as id Software released Quake to the masses. Featuring fascinating technological advancements and a gameplay that could turn anyone into a online gaming addict, collectively generating billions in revenue for the internet service providers, it took the players by storm.

Throughout the years the game has been maintained, polished and played by a dedicated community which has made it stand the test of time. Development of the client and server software is going on still today, with ezQuake 3.0 being released just a couple of weeks ago with numerous improvements featuring also changes made in collaboration with the Quakecon tournament organizers. The latter changes made in order to fulfill ruleset requirements in time for the Quakecon 2on2 anniversary tournament in August this year.

It is suggested that you celebrate this special day by simply enjoying some free for all action or similar, playing the game, which can be downloaded from nquake.com in a neat installer.

Tim Willits Grilled by The Metro (223 comments)

( Major News: QC QL)

Posted by ini @ 01:21 CDT, 22 June 2016 - iMsg

Nine days ago Tim Willits walked out onto the Bethesda E3 show stage to formerly announce Quake Champions. However, details were light and questions remained unanswered.

Enter free British tabloid newspaper the Metro's GameCentral. In this interview Tim Willits is caught off guard when the interviewer begins with a complaint and starts to spills the beans on the beginnings of project "Lovecraft" and the design of Quake Champions.

Read the interview here for more hard hitting questions such as:

GC: You’re bringing back such memories for me now. I knew this guy that always got his girlfriend to time when they respawned. And they all used to… I can’t remember exactly what they were doing but they turned all the textures off or something, to make sure it was always 60fps?

TW: [laughs] It was called flat-shaded. It normalised the textures to a single colour.
