I hope you finish that super crazy map you were working on before you got a games industry job. It looked like it was going to be badger buggering brilliant.

By the way, do you still have that donkey maintenance site? What happened to your old discobadger.tk domain? Did someone buy it and squat on it?

Also, I am cuirious if you are working as a designer, artist or artist/designer at starbreeze. I presume they are working on hardcore next-genstuff, since they seem to be pretty with the times. 

Ogier, an old quake style editor - is still used for levels at starbreeze (available for dl with q1, enclave, riddick and knights of the temple game support). LD:s build levels but most of the entity stuff is done by "game scripters" or whatev 

I guess my previous post just gave you different terms for the same things you mentioned so this time I'll mention that to my knowledge czg's function is as a level designer and not scripter.

czg: since I answered instead of you, you should have some time left for finishing that q1 map during the holidays!

looks pretty good, although it looks like someone took a chunk out of the left side of it's face. ;)

Does anyone know of any good WW1 shooters? Looking at these colour photos(!) from World War One made me think that a game set in that area could satisfy some of the war gamer crowd while freeing us from fighting Nazis. 

WWII is where it's AT. I don't think the fighting tactics (ie stand around in holes in the ground and let bombs fall on you) employed in WWI would make for very good gameplay (unless the game wildly diverged from WWI, in which case, hey let's make a WWII game, they sell really well right now).

I hope games with nazis never stop!


also, nazis have single-pane windows in their houses. that's why bambuz's great great grandfather enlisted in the Polwiegish army and singlehandedly liberated Polway. 

and only a day's worth of rations! 

He shared what was left with the people of Polway, and it fed every family for forty days and forty nights because of the miraculous bounty of Polweigish rations brought on by the economic savings of the might double-paned Polweigish window. 

fuck! 

Nazi's are no fun if they aren't doing occult/future-tech stuff. Nazi's are also fun because they are the last true evil lately, rather like orcs, but without being smelly and bad looking. 

Hitler was a vegetarian. Nazi Germany had progressive animal and nature protection laws. This is all irrelevant though since Nazi Germany is like Morgoth - totally and purely evil all by itself and without any reasons or dimensions. I understand if people feel like that -they were pretty fucked up and did lots of evil things.

And to Lun: sorry, I was half trying to just help, half just irritating you. :)

Also: The Poles and English don't have double-pane glasses and thus they freeze in the winter or consume big amounts of coal.
Also2: The English don't have cold and hot water mixing to warm water in the same tap, so you either burn or freeze or have to mix it in the sink, which is awkward.
Also3: Norway used to be quite backwards but now they're rich with oil money. They must have doublepanes, and had probably those already way back since it's quite cold there. Czg, Fjoggis or that weight lifting absolutist medical student mapper can fill you on this. 

Did it for neg!ke, but maybe some of you would like to read the Quake shareware review from the Powerplay (german...) too:

It's not meant to be good but readable ;)

Does anyone know if that cover artwork (first link) is available somewhere? 

DECIDED TO POST GREAT ASSES INSTEAD:

william shakespeare DRAMA
bambuz THRILLER
vinyl records TRAGEDY
beyonce knowles THRILLER
eeyore COMEDY
chris steele MUSICAL
jesus christ HORROR/SPLATTER
coca cola inc FOREIGN 

That cover artwork is a shameless plagiarisation of a classic Games Workshop painting. At least the face and pose are.

Before clicking, I can guess the one, a marine sarge in a small squad, can't remember the chapter but would guess dark angels... 

I did actually make that guess before even mousing over the link. I award myself A PRIZE. 

a lifetime's supply of idbase remakes!

Since you work for a company making a WWII game (albeit not your typical type) you are automatically biased. :) 

That's just it: the whole problem would be solved if there actually were atypical WWII games (or a game) released. Maybe not the whole problem, but at least it could help. 

thanks.
i have read this kind of articles, too, back then. sure, quake was not all that innovative, but it definately was the most important pc game, at least in the field of fps.
what really pissed me off at that time (not in this article) were comparisons to utter crap games, like "uh no auto-map in quake... this was sooo much better in duke nukem" and so on...
but who can blame those jerks, they just didn't know better, playing their dumb interactive movie adventures all the time... :P

anyway, i'm only looking for these "quake is..." advertisements. its pages in your magazine look very good (unlike mine), so you should make it a poster to hang in your rooms - which would be quite natural for someone running a quake site, anyway. ;)

Says who?
