Q1SP: November-Schlacht By Vanisch
Vanisch writes: My first release of a single player map for Quake 1. It is a small map with a selectable level of difficulty. I tried to incorporate a lot of details into the map to see variety. After the map was previously tested on Discord, I have now refined it a bit and finished it.

RIP Kevin Johnstone AKA Rorshach
I'm sad to report that Kevin Johnstone, better known online as Rorshach, has passed away. He was probably best known to some of us for his awesome texture sets for Quake 3, especially the work his did for the HeadHunters 3 mod. But he had a long career in games, mostly at Epic, doing art for games in the Unreal Tournament series and Gears of War series, among others. I knew him personally for a short time, as we both worked at Jar of Sparks. He was always humble, easygoing, and irreverent.

Here's the obituary and a link to a GoFundMe to support his family.

If you're not familiar with his work, here's his artstation page and an archive of his old planetquake site.

Qrusty Quake - A Modern WinQuake Port
Just released the first version of a port I've been working on for a few weeks, purely as a hobby project. Very raw, largely untested on windows, but with enough new features to justify a public showcase. Pasta from the git readme:

- A "New Options" menu, can be toggled with "newoptions 0/1"

- Integer scaling

- Borderless window with -borderless parameter

- Auto-resolution fullscreen with -fullscreen_desktop

- Hardware-accelerated frame > screen rendering

--- Boosts performance massively on systems with GPUs

--- Tanks performance on machines without GPUs

--- Use the new -forceoldrender flag to disable

- High resolution support

--- Maximum tested is 16K, 2000 times bigger that 320x200

--- Defined by MAXHEIGHT and MAXWIDTH in r_shared.h and d_ifacea.h

--- Can probably be set higher for billboard gaming

- Non-square pixels for 320x200 and 640x400 modes

--- Can be forced on other modes with -stretchpixels

- General feature parity with the original WinQuake

--- "Use Mouse" option in windowed mode (also _windowed_mouse cvar)

--- Video configuration menu (mostly for show, use -width and -heigth)

- Proper UI scaling

- Advanced audio configuration

--- The default audio rate is 11025 for more muffled WinQuake sound

--- New flags -sndsamples and -sndpitch (try -sndpitch 5 or 15)

- vim-like keybinds that work in menus, enable with -vimmode flag

- Mouse sensitivity Y-axis scaling with sensitivityyscale cvar

Building on Linux is trivial and only requires SDL2, windows binary is available at

All feedback and experience reports are appreciated!
