I Made A Quake Clone In 10 Days

[Dusty_Rhodes]

I thought it looked impressive earlier. Now it's really looking great.

The game is now called Disdain and here's an early first look at it :D

Remodeling the Cultist. Trying to steer away from that generic "Blood cultist knockoff" look.

[Redneckerz]

I love everything this has on tap. From taking lightmaps to the core visual loop, it just looks great.

[NaturalTvventy]

Dang my friend, that's a lot of skills on display.

[Chipper35]

Impressive indeed!! Was this part of a real Jam, or did you just do it within a 10-day timeframe??

[Kyka]

It is rare that someone has all the skills at such a functional level. Very impressive well done.

 

What music software DAW do you use? Was it reaper? I'm not familiar with reaper but it did look like it from the couple of quick views I saw. :)

No it wasn't part of any jam. :) It was just something that I've wanted to do for a very long time and finally forced my ass to do it. :P

Cakewalk Sonar (now known as Cakewalk by Bandlab). It's a free DAW for Windows. Been using Cakewalk's stuff since 2005 for work. :) So I'm very comfortable in making stuff in it in a short amount of time.

Thank you for the kind comments everyone. Very motivating. :D

Time for some new images! This is a WIP DM map made by NachtIntellect

Thinking of creative ways to make the lights interact with solid geometry and create interesting shadow forms is such a fun thing to experience.

The more you kill, the bloodier you will get...

[Nimlouth]

That last trailer is sexy a f!

So, I'm so excited for this project! And I know at this point an ElderJam "review" is kind of irrelevant but I just wanted to encourage you to keep going in my own way so here are my thoughts on the old ElderJam. Warning: Quality is poop/potato lmfao
 

Cheers and good hunting!

Wow, thank you for recording this! I enjoyed your commentary. :D

 

To respond to some of the things you brought up in the video

 

- Difficulty levels have already been implemented in Disdain, too. Difficulty only affects: enemy damage, and enemy AI (they're slightly less responsive in easier modes, and they will not perform certain attacks until you select Hard or Nightmare). I decided to keep enemy count consistent across all difficulties so that players who play on easier modes won't miss out on the body count. Oh, and in Nightmare mode especially - enemies don't hurt each and won't infight. And they're fast. A true nightmare. :P

 

- As you can clearly see, I am no level designer. Therefore, for Disdain, I will be hiring a couple of dedicated mappers. So I will be creating the base game mechanics and assets, while a few others will take care of mapping! Those 3 maps from ElderJam will go away, and be replaced by all-new levels.

- I saw you jump to your death in the end. :P You'll be glad to know that Disdain has very good air control, you can influence your jump direction while in mid-air, just like in Quake.

Appreciate the video, and yes, it's encouraging indeed. :)

DISDAIN ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER COMING TO REALMS DEEP 2022 SEPTEMBER 16

[Wyrmwood]

Wow, read about this a while ago and thought it looked pretty good, was more impressed by the time frame you made it in. But now it looks really amazing, can't believe how much progress you've made. Soon as you get a pre-order up on Steam you can have my money. Always though you provided enough gore with nashgore but now I want more!

 

PS: does this mean the nashgore updates going to be a good while off, that's fine of course but I miss the stretchy boogers with the latest GZDoom.

The release date is just a joke/placeholder (kind of like what Selaco is doing with its 2255 release date - except mine isn't that extreme :P)

The release date will be updated as soon as I can get a solid estimate of how much development time I actually need...

Thank you for the wish list! The free demo should come out very, very, very soon (keep your eyes peeled)!
