In recent years, I helped kill QuakeWorld. While I did lots of things to help players have better user experience with the game, in the same time I've taken my share in sucking an important part of life out of the game.
QuakeWorld is one of the most conservative games ever. Its gameplay does not change over years at all.
Why QuakeWorld does not have a stable influx of new players? The never ending topic in this game and my thoughts on it...
Here's a list of ezQuake tips I figured people might not be fully aware of. With no further comments, let's roll...
Recently we have done a significant improvement in ezQuake that tries to reflect the current QuakeWorld trends.
While we always strive to deliver better and smoother performance of the whole engine to the players, no matter what hardware they have, we also try to reflect the current QuakeWorld scene needs and be the most current QuakeWorld client.
I am going to explain why I think that QuakeWorld needs 5 maps in standard 4on4 map pool.
I've nominated ezQuake in the SourceForge Community Choice Awards in the Best project for Gamers category. If you like, please do the same using this link below, takes less than a minute.
Thank you! :-)
Just
like I did after Nations Cup 2008, I'll note down my experience from running QNC 2009. Also there will be a little mental note or "implications" at the end so scroll down there if you want to know "what this shitload of text is about" :)
I've tried to learn from my own mistakes, I tried to make the tournament better this year. So I'll summarize here what did work out and what could be still done even better. Anyone who wants to make QNC 2010 can learn from this hopefully :)
Most of you already know the sub-site stats.quakeworld.nu - system that monitors QuakeWorld servers and gathers match results, builds statistics, and so on.
After our team has finished this project and there wasn't much else to do with it, except small fixes from time to time, we decided to do another big favour for the community.
Few notes about the nations cup I'll admin this year.
BTW if you've missed my last blog post summing up all the good and evil in qw year 2008, you can
read it here ;-)
