@devurandom @00dani yes, I did
"folks decided" because it was 1999 and game engines weren't exactly a freely available resource at the time
of course in 2018 the project is probably completely dead. oh well that's what happens when the head admin takes an anti-LGBT stance and burns bridges with all their programmers in the process
@KS @devurandom i mean, quake was out by then and natively supported fully 3d environments? maybe it was harder to mod, idk
also ugh abt the head admin :(
@00dani @devurandom quake wasn't open sourced until the very end of 1999 (not counting the leaked source)
and the ease of making new things in the faux-3d of the doom engine probably helped contribute to it staying alive for so long
