BakerQuake !

I thought maybe we should all start discussing and gossiping about the new Quake coming out, cleverly titled "BakerQuake" . Has anyone heard any details? Any Spoilers? From what I understand, the world is supposed to end in 2012 and I still don't have "BakerQuake" in my games library.



ps : I was bored,saw Baker online. Thought I would provoke him in some good natured fun.

I've invested a ton of time in the engine but right now I don't have the time to wrap it up (and it has at least 1-2 months more work that has to be done to it).

But this makes a somewhat boring conversation, since I don't want to tell anyone the features so they can be surprised when I am able to wrap it up and get it out. It is a bit more encompassing than expected.

Still I don't want to talk about it and have only very selectively told anyone any of the features. If I talk about it, it will create "demand" which will not write any lines of code. And my goal is getting it done.

[But right now I have a real-life side project which will consume most of my time until Christmas. This is both good and bad. The bad part is that prevents me from having extended blocks of time to complete the engine features. The good part is that it has widened my interests and my capabilities.]

This game deserves to be renewed in a truly meaningful way with a "final and total solution". Not in the narrow ways that most people think of.

We had 40-50 players on a night 4 years back. And it was people doing different things on different servers (CTF, CA, Rune Quake, Coop, etc.). And this was with far more primitive engines than what we have now.

Right now, everyone plays the same thing day in and day out. Maybe even the same maps. And if you want to play something different, people will show up use vote to change the map.

I don't think a premature engine release would fix that.
