One of the main things that enticed me to buy a pandora was native quake 1,2,3;
Also there is so much nice and free homebrew like Super geometry Dust, VVVVV, Quake1-3, etc. and even commercial games start showing up.
If we're being honest here, you should point out that only Quake 1 is playable - Quake 2 crashes at inopportune and random moments, and Quake 3 has serious control issues.
D.
He sums it pretty well; the current state of the quake games is pretty sad except for Quake 1
So here is the deal, A lot of users here want to be able to comfortably play quake 1,2,3 with out crashes and major glitches
So i'm proposing the Quake Rebirth project - to get these amazing games back on track
We have amazing talent in these forums when it comes to unix and coding be it whatever language.
Quake ReBirth will give a little motivation to these talented members to get these games up to shape!
I myself am pledging 20usd for quake 2,3 that meet the following requirements. Donation will be made using paypal to the developers account. Please do not pledge if you do not intend to pay
REQUIREMENTS:
Full usb gamepad support
Nub support and d-pad support with map'able buttons - be it a config file or what have you
Color gama? - all of these games are way way to dark even with the pandora screen on full brightness
Standardized exit controls - pandora button/ escape - whatever the majority would like
windowed/full screen mode
pnd icon - of quake - most of the games we have already do this
minimum 30fps
Nub soothing algorithm would be nice - but i doubt that would be implemented
Pledges: 20usd
If you would like me to add anything into the requirements list if you decided to pledge let me know or don't input is always apprecited , thats about all of the important features I could think of.
So what do you guys think? Good idea/Bad idea/worth the developers time?
In short would you like to see the Rebirth of these games?
