Func_Msgboard: So When Did The Decline In Quake 2 SP-content Happen?

So When Did The Decline In Quake 2 SP-content Happen?

Posted by quakeulf on 2017/08/07 13:46:47

When I started mapping for Quake 2 last year it was on the base of bingeplaying a whole shitload of Quake 2-maps that I've got from over the internet after I finally got to play through the two mission packs in 2015. I was at that point unaware of the scene for making maps for Quake 2.

So one year later, where's everyone? Quake has a renaissance in singleplayer-content but Quake 2 is just... me and one other guy I don't even know exists (yes, I'm calling you out, Citadel-guy).

I want to make sure that for its 20th anniversary I'll have something worth playing. However, due to being able to find so little for this game on the internet that I can use quickly (I've scrapped a lot of ideas already due to not having the time to edit the source code to get all the unused animations for Strogg in or the items/weapons, like being able to start with no weapon at all and have to pick up the blaster), I've decided that I am going to keep it as vaniller as possible and use only what's possible to do in a v.320 install fresh from your CD or Steam.

I hope I can get more people in on making some kwolitee content for this game in time for its anniversary. There's already a $10000 tournament announced for it at The Con Of Quake this year, but we can do better!

Quake 2 is all about MP for most people (including me). I enjoyed Q2 SP for what it was but as far as SP goes Q1 is definitely a more action packed game with tighter design than Q2's hub levels. I enjoy playing Q2 co-op when drunk and practicing trick jumps on the map while my co-op partners get objectives done but other than that I don't really do much SP stuff. I also think people care more about mods like Vortex rather than proper campaigns.

Did You Ever Play...

Zaero? I did the sound design for it and it's arguably better in many ways from the official mission packs.

We had some fun MP weapons too.

I appreciate your passion and commitment but you've posted a bunch of these invites. The people from func who are interested are surely already a part of you discord.

Enough already. Good luck.

Lol

Remember Quake Elf on a Shelf?

It was funny while it lasted.
