That's pretty much the epitome of toxic work environments. The story goes that John Carmack tore down walls at ID offices to keep an eye on everyone since John Romero was just coming at work to slack off and play games all day instead of working on Quake, and the other employees were burned out and irate by John Carmack's iron-fist leadership and working style.

This was a reflection of the issues and internal squabbles ID Software had at the time, especially between John Carmack, the (in)famous programmer, and John Romero, the (in)famous game designer. >Things Quake did "wrong" mostly boil down to game design and level design problems. So I think it's interesting to ask "What did Quake do right, so that in spite of its flaws, people still like it?" I think that it's an enjoyable game as a game, not just as a retro game you play for nostalgia.

Some of them would not have been possible in 1996 (like Tears of the False God in Arcane Dimensions) but then there are level packs like DOPA which just seem like, well, better levels, and there are mods like Copper which directly address various game design issues. Various Quake 1 mods address balance issues, and the single-player maps you can find these days are simply phenomenal. The Quake 2 engine fixed so many of the technical problems with the Quake engine, but the game is saddled with an awful story, and some of the slight slant towards more "realism" in Q2 level design did it a major disservice.

Quake 2 was worse in many ways, except when it came to multiplayer and the mod scene. The development team had a bunch of ideas for Quake that were questionable. I think a lot of these problems could have been fixed if Quake had been less rushed-but may not have been fixed. Weapon balance could stand some tweaks (e.g. Spawn (the blobs that explode) are just no fun. poor layout, inconsistently sized spaces, samey areas, unnecessary teleporters, too many corridors, overuse of traps, under-lit areas, etc. Most base levels and episode 4 suffer from various problems. Things Quake did "wrong" mostly boil down to game design and level design problems. Thank you.I don't want to head too deep into the "wrong for their time" versus "wrong in hindsight" calculations, because it turns into a game of "pretend it's 1996" Oh, and yes, I'll type the map end command.
If you never noticed, it was because you safe guarded your saves and always loaded from them, never respawning. Įdit: in case you don't know, I'm talking about (Specifically, it's this bug. If they can load your weapons when they respawn you at the beginning of a level without a save, they can load your runes, too. is there a cheat I can use to skip to the Shub Nigurrath fight? I need to say i've beaten Quake, and I don't see a problem with using cheats to get around a shitty bug that should have been caught 20 years ago, literally. Only after carefully managing my saves to get two runes (from episodes 1 and 3) do I screw up early on in a level and end up carrying on with a save after fresh respawning, losing all of my runes due to a bug.īasically, I have completed every chapter of the game, but for various reasons, I only have the rune for the 4th chapter. When I die early enough in a level, I push space or whatever to load the beginning of that level with all my weapons (I use QuakeSpasm as my source port of choice, I don't know if Vanilla Quake does this). I've been playing through Quake 1 for the first time on Nightmare mode.
