Mich, quake is the FPS (First Person Shooter) which came right after Doom, from the same software company, ID Software. As you know, Doom was one of the inspirations for Shades of Doom, and Quake took Doom a step further, being the first FPS to have actual 3D models in space rather than 2D ones which were made to look 3D, as well as popularizing the LAN party and online multiplayer genre.
So basically, it's easily as quote real unquote a game as Shades of Doom is.... It is however, not a game which was originally designed for visually impaired people, if that might have been more what you may have been wondering about... This is where the Audio Quake mod comes in, along with the AGRIP project. http://www.agrip.org.uk One of the goals of the AGRIP project is to demonstrate how main stream games can have feature sets built into them which both enhance the game for sighted players as well as make it accessible on the same terms, for visually impaired players... Thus, as a proof of concept, the Audio Quake mod was created, as the culmination of other mods which make Quake, a completely main stream game, accessible to visually impaired players... Since Quake is now open source, there is still an active and quite vital modding and development community for it, almost eleven years after it's creation, so there is still a whole lot of material on the web on how to code for the game and game engine, as well as many other mods and engines based off of the original Quake engine... Anyway, it's at this stage, where Jedi Quake happens. I got involved with the AGRIP community in late 05 really for the idea of the virtual 3D environment rather than the gaming aspects, and felt that there should be some elements of the 3D world which weren't included in Audio Quake, so I began seeing what I could find on coding for the game... The result now, is release 4.1 of JQ... So I hope this clears this up for you, and that I haven't talked yer ear off! lol! <smile> Have a wonderful evening and happy gaming!!!...
