(Wurmz! and Gusanos now) I always wanted to do a Quake 3 Arena mod. The next feature is the ammo system Now, when Gusanos .9 is released, with (based on “UT mod” ammo system by the help of WSh I tried one more time to TTFTCUTS) modified by WSh so it that make my dream real and started to make looks and works like Quake 3. There are a Quake 3 mod for Gusanos. few differences between Q3 and G3 now. For example, you must pick up a weapon to The mod is intended to be a high playability refill your ammo. mod which will be the ultimate copy of Quake 3 platform in 2D possible, and by Objects on maps now it is closer than ever to be like so. work like the Either the quakeish mod is going to be one objects in Q3 and of the main platforms for Gusanos engine. there are medals Now all is going very well and it is quite for special kills too possible to the mod will reach the intentions (for example when of its authors. you’ve pummeled the enemy you get a What is done... and what is not? Humiliation!! pummeling medal). By now the G3 engine is fully developed! The most important thing - The Q3 physics The timer is in place are very well mapped. It is very similar to to take care of timed objects, the maps the original and includes such things as favour fast movements as well as classic Q3 rocket jumps, plasma climbings and the best tricks. The main things are finished. Now, 4 the only need is to make some good maps. The mod is based on the Gusanos “dark mode” with textures and sounds extracted from Q3. The engine by itself is rather useless. Maps are very important. They are like a soul for the body - without it you can’t live and the same is with the mod which needs the maps to complete the experience. There must be very balanced maps and it takes a lot of Guth attacks a bot with the railgun on a time to make such (eg. where playability is beta testing map. equal to ztn’n maps or “q3dm6/pro-t4” for Q3). This is the hardest and the nicest part of the process because there is a lot of fun involved. Awesome play, tests etc. The deadline Why are there no betas? The G3 mod is more like its own game, rather than a Gusanos mod. The first release is intended to be some kind of base for another mods for G3 (like Challenge ProMode arena, Defrag and Rocket Arena) and maps (to enhance project). As mentioned before, the project is now in mapmaking stage and the The rocket launcher! A yellow jump-pad is official release is unspecified until G3 is visible to the left.

To get an overview over who does what in Gusanos right now, Uthar made a little inquiry among the people present in the Liero chat channel on IRC (Quakenet). At the moment there is no real overview regarding who does what and it is often a coincidence that you find out that someone makes something you are interested in. Many people make mods, some make improvements on the game itself. Some do both. List by: Uthar Basara: Might start porting Alpha Ghost mod from Added ping list in game score table.

    Alexander Knorr Die kulturelle Aneignung des Spielraums Vom virtuosen Spielen zum Modifizieren und zurück Ausgangspunkt Obgleich der digital divide immer noch verhindert, dass Computerspiele zu ge- nuin globalen Gütern werden, wie es etwa der Verbrennungsmotor, die Ka- laschnikow, Hollywoodikonen, Aspirin und Coca Cola längst sind, sprengt ihre sich nach wie vor beschleunigende Verbreitung deutlich geografische, natio- nale, soziale und kulturelle Schranken. In den durch die Internetinfrastruktur ermöglichten konzeptuellen Kommunikations- und Interaktionsräumen sind Spieler- und Spielkulturen wesentlich verortet, welche weiten Teilen des öf- fentlichen Diskurses fremd und unverständlich erscheinen, insofern sie über- haupt bekannt sind.

Es erschließen sich so- ziale Welten geteilter Werte, Normen, Vorstellungen, Ideen, Ästhetiken und Praktiken – Kulturen eben, die wesentlich komplexer, reichhaltiger und viel- schichtiger sind, als der oberflächliche Zaungast es sich vorzustellen vermag.

  • High-Performance Play: the Making of Machinima
    High-Performance Play: The Making of Machinima Henry Lowood Stanford University <DRAFT. Do not cite or distribute. To appear in: Videogames and Art: Intersections and Interactions, Andy Clarke and Grethe Mitchell (eds.), Intellect Books (UK), 2005. Please contact author, [email protected], for permission.> Abstract: Machinima is the making of animated movies in real time through the use of computer game technology. The projects that launched machinima embedded gameplay in practices of performance, spectatorship, subversion, modification, and community. This article is concerned primarily with the earliest machinima projects. In this phase, DOOM and especially Quake movie makers created practices of game performance and high-performance technology that yielded a new medium for linear storytelling and artistic expression. My aim is not to answer the question, “are games art?”, but to suggest that game-based performance practices will influence work in artistic and narrative media. Biography: Henry Lowood is Curator for History of Science & Technology Collections at Stanford University and co-Principal Investigator for the How They Got Game Project in the Stanford Humanities Laboratory. A historian of science and technology, he teaches Stanford’s annual course on the history of computer game design. With the collaboration of the Internet Archive and the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences, he is currently working on a project to develop The Machinima Archive, a permanent repository to document the history of Machinima moviemaking. A body of research on the social and cultural impacts of interactive entertainment is gradually replacing the dismissal of computer games and videogames as mindless amusement for young boys. There are many good reasons for taking computer games1 seriously.

THE ACOUSTIC ECOLOGY OF THE FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Waikato by MARK NICHOLAS GRIMSHAW ________________ The University of Waikato 2007 ii Abstract This thesis contributes to the field of Game Studies by presenting the hypothesis that the player(s) and soundscape(s) in the first-person shooter (FPS) game, and the relationships between them, may be construed as an acoustic ecology. It explores the idea that the single-player FPS game acoustic ecology has the basic components of player and soundscape and that the relationships between these two lead to the creation and perception of a variety of spaces within the game world constituting a significant contributing factor to player immersion in that world.

Reconfigurable Computing is a disruptive innovation currently going to com- plete the most important breakthrough after introduction of the von Neumann paradigm. On software to FPGA migrations a dazzling array of publications from a wide variety application areas reports speed-up factors between 1 and 4 orders of magnitude and promises to reduce the electricity bill by at least an order of magnitude. Facing the tcyberinfrastructure’s growing electricity con- sumption (predicted to reach 35–50% of the total electricity production by the year 2020 in the USA) also this energy aspect is a strategic issue.

    quake full version download Quake 4. Quake 4 offers you all kinds of weapons so that you can defeat all your enemies. Download Quake 4 to your computer and sharpen your aim in this adventure. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Quake 4 is the sequel to Quake II (because the third installment was a multiplayer parenthesis) in which the war against the Stroggs is still the main issue. We will play the role of the marine, Matthew Kane , a member of the Rhino Squadron that has to ensure the capture of planet Stroggos. On which a new Makron is being built, the dreadful enemy that we faced in earlier installments. Play the fourth installment of the popular FPS game. Unfortunately, the ship that takes us to Stroggos is shot down, and at the crash site, between dead colleges and the wreck of this ship, is where Quake 4 begins. We will have quite a few weapons to win the battle, from the renowned Blaster , machine guns , grenade launcher, and even Strogg weapons . We will also have the chance to drive more than half a dozen different vehicles. The graphic level offered by Quake 4 is sublime and these graphics were a real revolution when the game was launched. It uses the Doom 3 graphic engine , the behavior of which, both in interiors and exteriors and especially, creating shades, is very good. Furthermore, the power offered by the majority of computers nowadays is a lot higher than what this game offers, so it's possible to play it on almost any PC .
