Func_Msgboard: Quake Java (sic!) Contributors Wanted

Posted by demoth on 2022/07/15 14:23:55

I'm working on a java port of quake2 (jake2) and looking for associates.

Purely as a hobby :)

It's an ongoing project that hardly can be "fully finished" but it's a good opportunity to learn and explore. Right now everything from vanilla Quake2 works fine, but a lot of improvements/features are planned (Check "Goals" section)

Prerequisites: be passionate about quake, programming and game development, java/kotlin skills.

Is this related to the original jake2?

Looks like they took over the project from the original authors:

Authors
Daniil Bubnov bubnov.d.e@gmail.com - current maintainer (2019+)

bytonic Software
Developed the project in 2003 - 2015
Holger Zickner hoz@bytonic.de
Carsten Weiße cwei@bytonic.de
Rene Stoeckel rst@bytonic.de

Is This Related To The Original Jake2?

Yes, it's basically the continuation of it. Bytonic disappeared somewhere around 2015
