Caffeine Offering Revenue To Game Developers

#30089 posted by primal (nli) on 2018/03/16 08:27:10

Caffeine.tv is a new livestreaming platform in development. They are planning to let game developers get a share of revenue from having their games streamed. There are no details available yet, but here is a small announcement and an invitation for game devs to contact them.

No idea how many cents you could make to fund your favorite Quake editor's development with 24/7 mapping streams. I guess that might not be the intended use of this feature.

However, I thought it's interesting enough to share, in case you want to follow how they implement their idea in the future.

I'm more interested in the fact I've been spelling 'caffeine' wrong all these years when I'm not caught by spellcheck. I before E except after C, my ass.

Ciaffiene?

Killes: no

The game is Quake. The money would go to id/Zenimax.

Hey, if it gets any livelier in here a funeral might break out! (queue cheesy drum roll.)

Seriously, I used to live next to a cemetery...

A bunch of ppl mapping for dm4jam. This place might liven up a bit Monday or Tuesday. At least I hope so!

Hooray!

I've tried mapping for a little bit but I just can't get my head into and/or around it...

Still, I'll keep plodding on and I'll keep enjoying the great things you guys put out. :)

Ha!

Storytelling in Quake is quite different nowadays.

Lightmapped Static Meshes & Portal Skyboxes In Quake

#30108 posted by killpixel on 2018/03/19 21:01:19

do either of these things exist with modern tools / engines?

Hmm

#30109 posted by Qmaster on 2018/03/19 21:10:45

Lightmapped static mesh: only as an external bsp....actually I think those are fullbright now that I think of it.

Skybox: nope.

#30110 posted by mankrip on 2018/03/19 21:28:56

What is a "portal skybox"?

Anyway, the only widespread skybox format in Quake is the Q2 style one.

#30111 posted by killpixel on 2018/03/19 21:31:24

@qmaster - interesting... and lame! So meshes would be vertex lit...

@mankrip - a.k.a 3d skyboxes

How About Lightmapped Water?

#30112 posted by killpixel on 2018/03/19 22:09:30

plz say yes.

Does using quake 3 bsp in FTE / DP count as "quake"?

If so, then it's a yes for lightmapped static meshes baked into the bsp i think.

I've no idea if anyone has ever tried making a single player quake map using q3 bsp though. Certainly, I've never heard of one.
