JCR – Quake Mapper | Quakecast #25

What’s the connection between Arcane Dimensions, Miami, potatoes, firearms, and footwear?

JCR that’s what.

This week, ArrrCee and dumptruck_ds interview this prolific mapper, modder and streamer for classic Quake.

Is Quake Champions Dying?

Have the developers of Quake Champions actually given up?

From pure Speculation, it turns out another one of my favorite games from my favorite franchise might be going into maintenance mode or being abandoned.

Quake Champions a free to play Arena FPS.

Which is what I wanted to build my other website upon.

With the lack of content and the lack of updates, it looks like I’ll have to find another game to build the QuakeFans name upon or make it all about AFPS which is most likely the case.

A New Logo is in the works! If you would like to design the logo let me know!

Are you worried about QC?

What do you think about the state of Quake Champions? Do you think Quake Champions is Dying? Or do you think its already Dead?

Quake Champions Dying

I really didn’t like the message SyncError left which you can see in the video or down below

Quake Champions Dying Conclusion

I really hope that this isn’t the case. But, with no updates. No news, and hardly any tournaments to talk about it almost seems like the game has been abandoned. No marketing, No true road map.

Please give us QUAKEFANS something to be excited about. Finish the game at least or let us know your plans. Not giving us anything literally makes us feel the game is dead.

The Quake Community is strong and is literally the only thing holding the game together. I’ve been optimistic (as you can see in this post) about the game since closed beta but its time to take off the blinders.

Quake Champions Dead

Seeing that the game as a service model just isn’t working for a game like Quake.

Leave a comment down below or on the YouTube Channel. Let me know how you feel about the game currently.

You can also hit me up on twitter @realkynerd.

Ninja Turtles Arena Game… This is Madness!

Back in the ’90s if you told me that there was going to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arena game I would’ve probably spit out my big league chew right into the floor.

Not only was I obsessed with Quake III at the time but turtle games in general I thought were amazing.

Be sure to let me know on YouTube who your favorite Ninja Turtle is! (#quakefans)

It’s Pizza Time

Ninja Turtles Pizza

Now this Turtle Arena game which you can get completely free.

It’s not quite done, but its got a really good start. I wouldn’t mind seeing it eventually getting some nice polish and a full release someday.

The hit detection is awful and all the sounds are made with the developers mouth.

Yet it is still fun and has great potential.

I believe that the greatest strength of this game is the graphics.

If we could somehow get this game polished up and release I think it would be a great little game to play! (Developers start a gofundmepage!)

Cowabunga

The Ninja Turtles Arena game is built on the spearmint engine. Which is basically ioquake3 engine!

Many standalone games that love the feel and movement of Quake III are using this engine to build their games.

Spearmint however has ceased development since 2018.

Hopefully, the Turtle Arena hasn’t been turned into vaporware and can finally get an amazing release.

Conclusion

The Turtles Arena has amazing potential and you get to play as your favorite Ninja Turtle with rockets!

Is it something we should take serious. Probably not, but let’s hope and believe that this game might one day see a full release!

Go collect some pizzas and play the weird obelisk game while doing some back-flips.

You should totally follow me on twitter.

Did you know Quake Champions had Comic Books? Check out the review I did on them.

Join the Rocket Arena Beta! (May 23rd)

Rocket Arena Beta is coming May 23rd! Be sure to sign up now and don’t miss out on yet another addition to the AFPS genre!

Sign up Here – (https://rocketarena.com)

Warning: This game requires a Nexon Account. So if you already have one all you got to do is sign up for the beta. I know a lot of hate is surrounded by Nexon as developers but I’m willing to give them a chance with this game.

Thoughts on the Rocket Arena Trailer

I think it looks like a mash up of Fortnite and Overwatch more than the athestics of darkness such as Quake Champions. I find QC more appealing to the eyes but as long as the gameplay is fun and enjoyable I honestly don’t care what the game looks like.

From the trailer, the game looks like it will be extremely fun hopefully it has some great rocket action since its called… Rocket Arena.

Covering Rocket Arena

Of course, Quakefans.net will be covering Rocket Arena on YouTube and on here as well! I think the game will have some potential and with Quake Champions looking like it has no road map, or receiving updates anymore the AFPS genre must live on!

Check back soon!

I’ll be coming back with a Beta REVIEW soon covering the Rocket Arena Beta that happens during the 23rd.

If you want to join up and are on the east coast be sure to join the discord and be sure to friend invite Smango in-game!

With tons of AFPs coming out around the corner why not add another one to the list to cover! Nothing like shooting direct rockets into your enemies face now is there?

Let’s hope we have a good one on our hands that we all can enjoy!

Keep on fragging. @realkynerd
