Here's a video recorded today in response to the FUD that some people in the Quake community makes against the #Retroquad engine.

YouTube's autodubbing is a bit botched in this video, but the subtitles works well.
Response to anti-Retroquad FUD, with proof.

No, Peach didn't "friendzone" Mario. They did have a torrid passionate relationship, but it ended horribly because she kept dumping all of her lifelong traumas on him until he was traumatized himself, completely broken and a shadow of the man he once was.

Here's a video of the #Retroquad engine running at 50fps with everything enabled, and at 63fps without MD5 models & HD textures.

The video is in 4K but the engine is actually running at 1080p.

Hey! We'd like to accelerate work on Phobolis, but we're having difficulties developing a monster a.i to suit our needs. It's not particlularly in-depth, we're just very green to Unreal Engine.

If you have experience and would be interested helping, let us know!
We need some help.

Frankly, our #phobolis monsters are as smart as a bucket of apples. If you have experience with Unreal 4.0 and would be interested in working with us, don't be shy.

DM's and Email are always open.

The beta release of BigInstinct is coming next week! I've made a video demonstrating some of the features, including silky smooth netplay with up to 16-frame rollback and, oh yes, BRAND NEW STEREO SOUND! Grab your headphones for this clip.

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

Through the power of DickTrainer Emulation Technology, Killer Instinct has achieved average frame times in the realm of 1.3 milliseconds; single-threaded on a 2.5GHz Intel CPU and with no attempt to optimize the ADSP! Planning to get a beta build to the patrons in a few weeks.

Sonic 4 Episode 2 is a masterpiece and it's a shame that nobody gave it a chance because Ep1 was bad.
Today's big discovery is a Sonic 4 Episode 2 prototype leak where the only difference is the full "To be continued" cutscene to set up Ep 3. We've had audio for this since 2012, but no visuals. Shoutouts to LunarCryptik and NukelEdge for uploading this footage.

of all places, i actually appreciated this Forbes write-up: www.forbes.com/sites/paulta...
‘Quake II’ Review (Microsoft AI Co-Pilot Edition): A Modern Tragedy
Microsoft has just released a new AI trick in the form of its Co-Pilot platform generating an AI “replica” of 1997’s Quake 2. It is awful.

I managed to improve transparencies in the #Retroquad engine even more.

Now the distorted color banding on the wall near the weapon icons is gone.

If you’re a developer in the emulation/reverse engineering space and you’re aware of the culture of commercial exploitation and/or personal abuse, please send a DM! I’m building a group, because it’s time to recognize and stop the madness. 10 of us so far.

Happy 28th Birthday to Doom 64! If you don't know, the Doom 64 community has put together the Doom 64 Compendium. Among many things it documents about Doom 64, you can also also find new ways to play Doom 64 in the reply!

Q2RTX does have an advantage over the official Quake 2 remaster now: The underwater warping is accurate! It does warp both vertically and horizontally with the same intensity.

I'm still not sure if the intensity is the same as of the software renderer at 320x240 or 640x480, though.
