Old news: Carmack remembers Quake on 15th anniversary

Post by frag.machine »

Probably someone already posted about this Shacknews article, but I just stumbled on it today.
John Carmack wrote:My defining memory of the game was fairly early in development, when I no-clipped up into a ceiling corner and looked down as a Shambler walked through the world with its feet firmly planted on the ground. This looked like nothing I had ever seen before; it really did seem like I had a window into another world. Of course, as soon as he had to turn, the feet started to slide around because we didn't have pivot points and individual joint modifications back then, but it was still pretty magical.
Also, there's a video showing the debut party for Quakeworld. Those were the times...
I know FrikaC made a cgi-bin version of the quakec interpreter once and wrote part of his website in QuakeC :) (LordHavoc)
