First of all, I just installed this, and I love it. It's about time Quake 1 made it to Android in a decent form!

Trying this on my Shield TV and the game defaults to "portrait" mode. Is there a way to force the game to stay in landscape mode? Also, Android TV doesn't show an icon when this is installed, any chance you can enable that little function in a future build?

Also of note is that the look axis is uninverted by default, and there's no way of changing this without manually setting "joy_invert "1"" in config.cfg. The game correctly detects the Shield controller inputs, but has the L and R triggers swapped - it reports L as R and vice-versa.

Visually, this looks great, except there's a really weird glitch where the red lighting shows as blue. The easiest place to spot this is around the lava ball in the Hard difficulty corridor.
One other glitch I get is that there are a number of brown squares on my screen at all times. I suspect they're for touch input elements? They stay there even if I disable touch.

Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm happy to do any testing on the Shield for you =D 

How do you go back a page? It seems silly to have to close the app just to get out of settings or other options 

nevermind I figured it out! 

perhaps have an option for a radial movement wheel so I can move around using only my thumb and dragging? also maybe make it so when I double tap forward (or just double tap the wheel) my character runs (like in minecraft) because I play with always run off

But yeah great job so far! 

Does mean that Baby Jesus stamps on a kitten ever time you tap that run key... 

Hi. Loving this on android. Played this since if came out and still got it on a laptop running xp. My only issue is it stays in portrait more when I chromecast to the tv. Is there any way of fixing this? 

Resolved this. Found an app that works really well. Gotta sayvthat I am loving this game all over again. Absolutely awesome job 

@Baker Sorry. This thread is probably too old for new posts, but whatever, in the spirit of things, wanting to help advance some of the ideas listed, and maybedo a little tweaking on this thing myself... I made the source into a github repository.

<--- Find it here --->

Regarding some kind of virtual thumbstick control, dumptruck_ds said it best back in post #69 in the thread.

The focus was to deliver a solid mobile version.

Slick controls, being desirable by everyone, could come later.

Now I think maybe it is time I jump down a rabbit hole to pursue it. I have a few ideas.

So, that's it. Just wanted to announce the repository it up for grabs if anyone else wants to clone it. 

I wish I could code well enough to help but I'll be following this for sure. 

Ther is this app repository thing called F-droid its alternate playstore but every thing in it is free and open source and obbtaind through repos and it has a quake android port but its no longer working and i would like to have your premission to uplode it into the fdroid archive if you dont minde as in ther uploding criteria it says i need to have developer premission and also the source code for the app so do you minde? 

You can put it on FDroid if you like.

You don't need my permission (that defeats the point of open source), but you have my permission if some form requires it. 

I have tried to build this from the source on here in both Linux and Windows, and just get error after error. I have tried this version and git cloned the repository as well with no success. I have no idea if it's the source, the dependencies or just gradle. I have compiled Doom 1, 2 & 3, Quake 1, 2 & 3 and Duke Nukem on both Windows and Linux, but cannot get this to build for Android. Is there an actual step by step guide, as I am obviously doing something wrong if the source does work for others.

Downloaded QD not long ago, very nice port. I've been wondering if music support has been added yet, cause being able to play the original soundtrack ingame would be really nice.
