a base for standalone games. Unlike other ports, it does not aim at being compatible with mods or the base Quake II game. In fact, many features were removed to reduce the complexity of the codebase and make the process of creating new games on top of the engine easier and faster.

And how many standalone games are using it?

the engine limitations exist to make your creativity shine.

Artistic constraints helps creativity.
Engineering constraints harms it.

The software renderer provides the aesthetic that we all love…
Some notable changes include:
Removal of OpenGL

Not that anybody cares, but I've left my house. Will try to rebuild my life at my dead mother's house.

I'm tired of trying to be alive.

On some slightly positive news, maybe I can get around to code more by the end of this semester. Gotta spend months shaking the rust off of my brain first. 

Don't worry about the coding; the most important thing is to get your things sorted out!

I take it your mother just died. :( Do you want to talk about it? Did it come as a surprise? My dad died about 7 years ago relatively young at 65 years old to a cerebral hemorrhage. It was sudden and he died in less than a week. It was quite rough, so I can try to relate to how you're feeling. :( Anything else weighing you down besides your mom's death? 

My mother died 2 years ago. What's happening now is that I've moved out of my house because I'm not safe in there.

This is one of the few places where I could vent, I've lost most of my peace and freedom in the last months. 

I have no idea what's been happening in your life these last months that has taken away your safety, but man, having to move away from your home because of not being safe there, sounds rough! :(

Of course it's not the same as you, but about 1,5 years ago I had to move away from my apartment because of a fire accident (the cause of which I never learned, possibly a short circuit). Lost my two cats and lived at my mom's place while the apartment was being renovated for about six months. From then on, whenever I'd hear news about people losing their homes due to natural disasters or some other causes, I'd feel a lot more empathetic towards them. So I'm sorry for your loss, mankrip. :C I'm all ears, if you need to vent more. 

 

Sorry you are having a rough time. Everyone deserves happiness and a peaceful life. Sometimes it takes bigs steps. I highly suggest venting as much as possible and I will add that talking to a marriage and family therapist saved my life and my marriage after a very dark period. Seek help, there are free or low cost options, especially at universities.

Staying happy is hard work sadly. Take care and good luck. 

I play the PS1 version on an android Emulator but i know you can do certain things to play online cross-platform, like modded OG xbox's can play Quake onljne why PC users in the same server, can i somehow make it so my phone will run system link? Like Xlink and it'll think i'm only connected to one phone.
Help please. 

Icarus made a review of Quake 1.5

For those who don't know what this is, it's a mixture of Arcane Dimensions features, with new weapons, new enemies, new maps, some revamped levels, etc...

looks pretty good. But since is still a beta, i'll wait for a official/bug-free release.

Usually, I avoid this kind of thing (because I don't like DP too much) but after watching ArrrCee play through it I was interested and tried it. It's a fun mod and I am looking forward to playing the newer added levels. I am not a fan of the name of the mod - I think that's the biggest crime but with 4700+ downloads - you cannot deny the appeal.

It's going to be fun reading all the Quakedad hate on this one. <grabbing popcorn>
