Archiving the history of the video game Quake 2: created by id Software; customized by the Quake 2 community.
As in nearly all aspects of the company, the art department at id Software runs on pure synergy. That is, no real distinct lines of responsibility exist among the three artists because they work together so well as a team. The strength of the three-man art department at id comes from experience, hard work, and talent. Adrian Carmack, Kevin Cloud, and Paul Steed created the art for QUAKE 2 (and the upcoming mission pack), and this article reveals how it all came together.
Well, let's see... I would have to say it all started back in '72. That was the year I was born. Grew up in sunny San Diego, and ended up spending the first 23 years of my life there. I could describe them, but I would bore you to tears, so we'll just leave it at that. I attended San Diego State University, and worked as graphic designer extraordinaire for Woodstock's pizza, where I continually drew little dragons (the mascot of Woodstock's), until I accidentally graduated from school.
Well, #quakecon seemed to be a success. Several people were impressed with the turnout including the id boys. I will have #quakecon pics in a few days and I'll have room to post them since I now have more web page space. Like a little good web page maintainer I took a fair amount of notes. I attended Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday afternoon.
Esta era una idea que tenía en mente desde los días del Doom II... Kubrick nos enseñó cómo los tipos malos podían amar a Ludwig Van... Aaah, la alegría del deathmatch... :)
John Romero, para aquellos que todavía no lo conozcan, es el creador de juegos tan sangrientos y famosos como Doom, Doom II, Hexen y Quake. Hasta ahora ha desarrollado su trabajo en la compañía Id Software, pero ha decidido ir por otro lado y ese cambio es algo que nos interesa. Está preparando Daikatana, juego en el que ha querido reflejar un poco más el estilo de Doom y Doom II.
