quite a few went to Treyarch to work on Spider-Man and then from there to other places within the game industry. You can keep track with the most public Loki developer on icculus.org, Ryan Gordon.

If anyone is interested I've created iodoom3 to follow on from the ioquake3 project my team put together.
Let me know what you'd like to see in a modernized Doom 3 Engine!
Submission + - Tremulous moves to Xbox, loses sight of open roots 1
An anonymous reader writes: Following in the footsteps of popular open source shooter Nexuiz, Tim Angus, better known by the open source gaming community as "Timbo", has announced that a deal has been reached between Microsoft game studios and Darklegion Development to bring the Tremulous concept to Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Xbox live service. As part of the deal, Microsoft has acquired all rights to the Tremulous brand, including the tremulous.net domain.
Unfortunately, while attempts were made by the community to negotiate the co-existence of xbox and open source projects under the same name, MGS flatly refused to allow this and, just hours after the original announcement, the disgruntled ex-dev team made the decision to fork Tremulous. The resulting project, "Librelous", a portmanteau of Libre and Tremulous, promises to breath new life into the game with brand new music, sounds and high res graphics, in addition to the much anticipated flashlight.

demos recorded on any 1.32 should work with ioquake3, you may need to run them with the demo command manually. I can't verify that they'll work or not with this android fork.

...is that people continue to purchase software for Windows and waste their time attempting to make it run perfectly in Linux with a Windows API reimplementation, pretendulator, or whatever you want to call it.
I've been using Linux for 10 years now. During that time I've seen several small business that I've supported with purchases rise with Linux on the desktop and fall as the whims of Linux users move towards pretendulation of Windows software.
As long as it is acceptable to ship a product for Windows without seeing a drop-off in sales, people will continue to develop for Windows instead of Linux. Do not buy Windows products if you want to see them in Linux.
Learn from the unions, buy software made for Linux native if you want more of it. Continue to support businesses who do not support you and see desktop support for your operating system dwindle.

The point is that it is the only place I could find to legitimately buy quake 3. Quite a few people I know have lost their Quake 3 disc or key.
