I founded the ioquake3 project with some friends in 2005.

The experience of working with the OpenArena project was similar to that described by HEMI_426. At this point they have cut off communication with us and I would be surprised, but happy, if that relationship ever improves.

So, now we are attempting to create our own freely distributable, creative commons licensed, game to distribute whenever anyone downloads ioquake3 that won't be "adults only" and won't have anything to do with OpenArena's direction. Until it is ready there are plenty of great games made with the ioquake3 engine and you can check them out here:

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!

I am deeply disturbed that you got two laughs/year out of timedoctor.org

Thanks for using ioquake3 :)

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.

...go buy yourself a lisp machine and tell me that it is going to take off.

It was a dumb /joke/. Cry me a river.

the OS X dmg is a universal binary.

yeah I was kidding about the ads and queue, but I don't think I should have made that joke in the first place. heh.

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.
