Archiving the history of the video game Quake 2: created by id Software; customized by the Quake 2 community.
"The mighty Planet Quake is always hungry for the latest and koolest Quake files! Be it the ever classic Quake 1, the Strogg infested Quake 2, the deadly arenas of Quake III or beyond, we want those files. Make them yourself or submit a great work of Quake art you love. Just fill us up with crunchy Quake goodness!"
"No doubt fed up with the publicity garnered by its rivals, both those with their own 'better than Quake' engines and those licensing the technology, id has released the first shots of Quake 2. Though the firm remains tight-lipped as to the game's plot, setting and level designs, it's already obvious that the sequel to the best-selling PC game will represent a significant leap over its previous incarnation."

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.
This level isn't an architectural wonder. It's not meant to have you "ooh-ing and ahh-ing". It's about having fun. Took a chunk of my weekend to make it.
If you don't have a lot of fun playing in it... I'll have to send Eugene over. ;) Walter Costinak aka |2|
