That was a joke. Sock mentioned to me that he had spent a lot of time taking photos of some church or summing, cleaned them up and made a texture set out of it
What Baker said.
That guy seems to have been raised in the system analysis & object-oriented programming culture. He's going to bang his head in the wall multiple times every day before actually understanding how Quake was coded. His "modular YouTube series" proposal is impossible, because Quake is not modular (some of its systems are almost modular, but Quake was coded with a "Get this thing to work and ship it!" mindset, so messy intertwined code is the rule). He would have better luck if he just wanted to play with Quake's assets using code written from scratch (without trying to replicate the original code). For his project, there's no need to be faithful to how Quake works. I was super psyched about this at first but...
He isn't going to actually write it from scratch. :( This API happens to be the code that Quake actually uses, but while watching the video, the aim is to make it as though we are creating it ourselves. The main source code, in the end, is not anything I've built myself. It's the Quake source code from id's Github. https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3xy110/announcing_handmade_quake/cy90vnl Eh, I think you guys are a little down on this
I think it's going to be fun. This trypophobia.com thing is giving me trypophobia. Couldn't look at the images. But I see, a nasty flesh texture pack...

Same, unless he has a really annoying voice, which often ruins video tutorials for me. Ideally I'd like it to be done in a refined, Roger Moore-esque purr; the vocal equivalent of sinking into a leather Chesterfield sofa whilst wearing pyjamas, but I'll understand if that's not possible. Speaking of audio, he figures out the microphone around the third video in so don't worry about the sound being stupidly low and hard to hear at first.
Doesn't particularly sell it considering its the very first thing you should be solving (how to get your content of a decent quality and uploaded to wherever it needs to be) in order to make a web series.
Having said that, I can understand why the engine guys are down on it. But, he's going to be facing a completely different set of challenges to the ones needed to create and maintain a Q1 engine when it's based off the original code base(s). Doesn't really grab my attention though; my cynicism makes me think Quake was chosen 'because its easy but still 3d'. And watching someone work isn't very interesting, IMO. "Doesn't particularly sell it considering its the very first thing you should be solving (how to get your content of a decent quality and uploaded to wherever it needs to be) in order to make a web series."
It's some dude doing a free video series. I think we can cut him some slack on the production values. Anyone other than func_us willing to give Quake a whirl is something to be celebrated. Merry Christmas!
Its through Youtube though, so he'll get Ad revenue.
But yeah, I tend to be over zealous with the details :( He isn't going to actually write it from scratch. :(
Ah, so not a manly project like Handmade Hero but "here I made some models for Unreal engine". (I'm guessing here ^^) Gay! If that is his plan, he shouldn't be trashing up the meaning of what the Handmade Hero guy is doing. Wait a second? After a quick, re-read
If that's the case and he's using the word handmade, the only way for his karma to balance out in this world would be him walking in the park and a hornet's nest falls out of a tree and falls on his head. Well, real quick
Merry Xmas! Also, check this out: http://www.moddb.com/games/quake/addons/quake-15-weapons-pack/#5669759
