Bit of a crazy one that still doesn’t feel real. I’m a writer and my first book has been published today. It’s all about action horror games and features interviews with a bunch of iconic names - including the first chapter, with John!

John’s enthusiasm and honesty really sets the tone for some pretty personal stories throughout the rest of the book, which features chapters with Ken Levine, Marc Laidlaw, Maggie Robertson and many others.

It’s a dream come true for me. To round it off, John agreed to write the foreword, in which he says some immensely nice things about my work.

I figured people here might get a kick out of an in-depth, sit down chat with the great man himself. Oh, and the book features a killer jacket designed by comic book artist Ray Dillon.

‘Beyond Fear: Inside Action Horror Games’ is available online and across most countries right now, with pre-orders also happening in the US. I’d love for the community to check it out! Thank you and feel free to drop me any questions🤘

EDIT - I’ve had a few requests for links to order, so please see below 😊 Huge thank you to anyone who picks it up!

US pre-orders:
Amazon
(Also available from Barnes & Noble etc)

UK orders (available now):
Amazon
(Also available from Waterstones, Foyles, Blackwells etc)

We've been slowly moving away from Discord to try and get as much information on our website instead. In order to test our interview format, I've uploaded a blast from the past. It's hard to believe I conducted this interview almost 10 years ago. It was published on December 19th 2016 and it gives you an insight into the early development process of Arcane Dimensions. With the development of the upcoming Arcane Dimensions update in full swing, I want to do more of these about the making of certain maps for instance. Of course it depends if there's an audience for such a thing so please, let us know what you think!

Quake 2 Poster

Can anybody tell me the history of this poster? It was framed in Texas near ID HQ. Can't find anything online.

Nobody wants to play with me :'(

Two years ago i discovered quake live with friends , i never played any shooters game but i like the fast pace , retro look and overall feeling of it but i don't push it enought , and since i now no longer talk with them (long story short they were boomer who hated everything new so i cut contact with them but that's not the point)

So now i try to find people only to play , since i don't have friends who plays quake live , but on FFA server nobody talks with me

And wenn i join server for duel people do the thing wherethey check my elo and they instant quit , probably cause it's really really low. how can i find a community to progress and help me ? is there a discord or something like that ?

Last year's work. It turned out... it was fun, but I didn't put much effort into it. Later, I had thoughts about getting all the way to draw ALL the opponents from different parts of the game... But I gave up very quickly)))

play online on Quake 3

So I downloaded Quake III Arena on Internet Archive to play with my dad because he's a big fan and we can't figure out how to play online, we played in the same place yesterday so when I created a local server it worked but I can't find any other sever with other players. When I try to create one myself this happens:

...Does anyone know what's wrong?

I really enjoy the game, but it suffers a bad frame-rate always when much action. Sometimes playing is even difficult because of that. Is the problem on that port, or my 20yo console? Have anyone here played Quake 4 on Xbox 360?

ioQuake3 on Xbox One - Current progress

Even though there's an Xbox Series port there isn't an Xbox One port. As far as I'm testing everything is working as intended. Like all other ioQuake3 ports, even this one is capable of crossplaying. Expect a release within next weekend.

I NEED HELP ASAP!!!

So yesterday I met my girlfriends dad after 8 months of relationship. We have seen eachother multiple times but we never officialy met. He tested me in games and out of all games I performed the worst in Quake 3 Arena that is his favourite game so he told me to download it and play it until I beat Bot named Bones on nightmare! mode I guess thats the hardest and until I beat DeFrag STJ2 map which is easier for me cause I have alot of hours just for movement in gold source engine and source engine. And after all that we can 1v1 cause he spent his whole life playing that game. What I need from u guys is the best visual settings cause I cant see my enemy sometimes and maybe how to set resolution to 1920x1080 or 1440x1080 cause I do it in q3config.cfg but it just crashes and yes i did change r_mode to 3 and to -1 and it didnt work. Please help guys

European q3 servers with players

Hi,

I want to get back into q3a and am looking for european quake3 servers with players.

How do my euro fellow players get their q3 fix?

Most servers are populated by bots and the q3a51 servers have >130 ping :-(

I've already set up ioquake3 and ec-quake3 and it works kinda good.

I would like to play dm/tdm/ra3 maybe ctf. But I am not made for 1on1s :-)

I finally beat this map on Nightmare, something that I thought was near impossible back in the day. It took many, many, many attempts and I think I just got lucky on this run because I was choking towards the end.

I remember spending many hours playing this with friends back in the early 2000's at LANs, good times.
