Func_Msgboard: Topdown Jam Is Released

Posted by metlslime on 2022/05/06 10:23:31

The Topdown Jam is out! It's time to have a look at Quake from a whole new perspective. Maps from @CommonCold, @ChrisHolden, and @Nolcoz, with a start map (and mod and jam direction) by @JaycieErysdren.

Note that this requires FTE to play! The download comes with an FTE executable and a configuration that will launch you into the jam folder by default (but you do still need to provide an id1 folder as usual.)

I need to check this out - looks like Mageslayer/Take No Prisoners! Which is awesome.... GTA? In Quake!

More Topdown maps/mods should be made. Or maybe an isometric camera? There's a lot you can do with this if you wanted.

Had a quick little play.

Player feels a little zoomed out to me. I think if you lower the speed of the enemies and lower the aggro distance it would be better.
Other stuff I would change is make projectiles a bit bigger, along with making particle sizes bigger too (at the zoomed out distance it's hard to see if things are connecting)
