I won’t hide it, that’s how I started following you, but I’ve found a definite liking to your vibe, interactions, art and the fact you’re a local (to me) artist.
Seeing your posts reminds me of the time social media was mostly food pics, folks yapping and not bots destroying the world.
Did you see the guy selling a pair of bookshelves in the style of ancient egyptian sarcophagi?
Nice to meet you!
Any recommended resources for someone with mainly experience with Hammer?
I used to do mapping back in '01-'07 for GoldSrc and Source as a teen, so I know some stuff like entities, brushes, never use carve, visleafs, etc.
How different / similar is it for modern Quake?
Much appreciated! I’ll have to get acquainted with TrenchBroom in the mean time!
I'm uncertain how the lifecycle of map jams typically go, if it's a one and done or if people produce more content as the time goes on.
I'm asking because I'd definitely love to cut my teeth with modern Quake mapping on the QBJ3 and hopefully release something while it's still relevant.
Hey @makkon.bsky.social question about QBJ3. Do you know what the roadmap / life cycle for it will be?
I absolutely love the base of the mod you and the team have made. The weapons, enemies, power ups, etc. And would love to see more maps for it in the future.
had to wait until the servers weren't so overloaded, but I'm proud to announce that Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is out now!
there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too!

this was a tremendous group effort, I couldn't be happier!
I’ve started playing it and so far it has been phenomenal.
I want to stress that the mod itself is amazing and i hope we get to see other maps made for it.
Maybe it’s finally time i dust off my old Hammer skills and learn Trenchbroom.
That's amazing. Looking forward to playing it!
76!? Could this be the biggest jam ever?
Looking forward to it! Keep up the great work
You’ve been working on this for much longer though right? With all the models and such?
How long has everyone been working on QBJ3? Seems like its a way bigger deal than the first 2.
It’s like blowing up a huge amount of TNT in Minecraft. You gotta drop some frames for it to be satisfying.
A box elder bug, they hang around box elder maples.
My neighbour has one in their backyard and these little guys like to sun tan on our house siding.
Should’ve been GZDoom instead 😤
@mkdouma6.bsky.social Hey! Happy birthday! Hope you have an awesome day!

Oh no! I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m going to miss the occasional Rennie photo dump on my timeline.
Oh, thanks for reminding me! My friend group has been meandering between games waiting for the update.
Wait till he finds out about naan
Again, useful tool that just takes other people's stuff and spits back out. It's probably mentionned on GitHub's EULA that nobody read and Quake 3's code is open source, but god damn.
Like, I use Github Copilot at work. On one hand, it's really cool and acts as a pair-programmer you can bounce ideas from.
On the other hand, if you ask it something super specific like a fast way to calculate an inverse square root, it'll spit out John Carmack's code used in Quake 3 verbatim. WTF
Diagnose cancer is such a good one. Like I remember seeing articles of researchers that trained a model to detect breast cancer super early, a novel tool for doctors. More of this please
AI has been co-opted by the tech/crypto/nft-bros. It's all about hype, making money and moving to the next thing
I’m so conflicted with AI. Like I work in tech, I love tech and the current tech around AI is absolutely fascinating… but it’s almost always being used in the worst ways.
Let’s replace creativity to increase profits! /s
Oh yeah, HTML email is like the good old days
What do you use 1x1 PNGs for these days? Long gone are the days of spacer gifs right?
Absolutely no remorse in those eyes
