for the first time, what the great game.
in the credit menu there is a name Warren Marshall, is it you Willem? 

responsible for many of the shadar logoth classic levels. 

I didn't play the game but the books are great. 

A few in the office have it, sometimes L4D is on backburner, but they basically say it{s like Survivor mode but with more varieties of zombies. And much longer load times.

Didn{t catch my attention, tbh, seeing as it seems I already own it, inside L4D. 

a Ancient Roam arena where space-cowboys and waist-land warriors have chainsaw-jousts on the backs of dinosaurs and ginormous scorpions and other ultra-violent sports to the beat}s of Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Fear, but i know it will just end up being a disappointing zombie game 

the last boss would have to be Brucie Campbell as Ash from..well you know ;}

THATs what it makes me think of! :))) 

Try typing on a spanish keyboard when you've no time.

It doesn't look special TBH, just reminds me of that Q1 map where you have to watch over your comrade's tomb. I forget the name. 

"in the credit menu there is a name Warren Marshall, is it you Willem?"

Yep, that was the first big game I ever worked on! 

I got it for very cheap and got it because one of my favorite mappers Kew Jervis worked on it.

I agree, it was a great game - tons of atmosphere. I really liked Shadar Loggoth and those basement halls full of traps. 

The multiplayer was kind of interesting at the time too, but it never really picked up. Was lots of interesting tricks to do with the spells, like shooting a position switch spell just as your throwing yourself in lava with a fire resist rune. 

Bal

Oh yes, the WoT multiplayer was incredible - and I don't use that word too lightly. I think that it was too complex for people at the time, however. It came out right around the UT/Quake3 timeframe so all anyone wanted to do was blast each other with rocket launchers. Having to think about 20 ter'angreal and their various interactions was too much work I think.

WoT was one of those games where if you got a bunch of guys together who really knew the ter'angreals and how to use them it was an absolute blast. We had some killer deathmatches around the office during development. 

Tim Jervis did work on it didnt he, his unreal pack Illhaven is still awesome. 

Yeah I was quite sad it died out fairly fast, I had some great games on it, even on the demo before the full game came out. Was fun just having hundreds of homing stuff flying around, you're never sure how a battle is gonna turn out, depending on who has the most counters. 

w00t!

I never played more than the demo though. 

Yep, that was the first big game I ever worked on!

And arguably the best. Fsck Gears3 or whatever you're doing atm, get Epic to acquire the license for a remake tbh... 

Well, since it inarguably paid the worst, I'm going to have to decline. :) 

 

were you at legend during Unreal 2? do any levels for that? 

nitin

I was there during the very early pre-production work but I left for Epic before any real work got done. So, no, I don't have any levels in there. 

When is Matt Sefton returning to the Quake community? I miss that guy. 

Didn't he start remaking a map a while back? 

That was Matthias Worch. 

Oh yeh, ofc.

Why did all the truly old skool have names starting with M? 

8 March 2009 headline on his quake page at www.worch.com says he is looking for testers.
