    Am over 30, have played a ridiculous amount of Q1/2/3. Life’s too short to be ”actively” playing Quake. I’d rather seek new experiences. As for the younger generation, yeah I guess they are getting destroyed and are more used to a social gaming experience, of which Quake doesn’t offer.

    whats your regiment?

    I was stronger when I was 26, but this is the leanest I’ve ever been :) these days I stick to cardio and compound excercises only. Diet has been very strict the past 3 months, no sugar, no alcohol, no high GI carbs such as pasta, soft bread, white rice etc and no trans fats. l mainly eat vegetables such as spinach, olives, bell peppers, tomatoes, a little bit of dairy such as mozzarella and feta cheese, fish of all sorts, eggs, chicken, peanut butter, apples, brown rice, hard bread, lenses. Stuff like that. I guess you could call it old school mediterranean diet. None of that french fries crap. I don’t count calories, but I estimate that I hit about 2k daily. I’m down 15 cm around that waist, slimming 1 to 1.5 cm per week.

    Three quarter review:

    ☑️ Got hired as a Level Designer

    ☑️ Cut weight down to about 10-12% bodyfat

    As for the rest of the year, I’ll just ride it out. I’ll be the best husband and father I can be and get cool shit done at work. I’ve been working on my own game recently, but I’ll save the goal of finishing that for another year.

    Displacements are only marginally more expensive, but looks nicer and lets you vertex paint. I prefere keeping architecture mostly models and displacements.

    Not exactly the art direction I would have expected for this IP. Gameplay looks slick, but I think a Ni No Kuni kind of vibe would have gone a long way. Or maybe it’s just the turqoise ambience in the area presented that’s throwing me off.

    Yeah I forgot to pack it, thanks for the heads up!

    Published an update last night where I did some major and minor facelifts, improved cover and angles, fixed a lot of clips and adopted Valve’s new radar design:

    I can only agree, it’s way too dark. A lot of details are lost, the whole scene gets a dated look and I don’t know where to rest my eyes. Hope you guys will reconsider the lighting and update us on it!

    Yeah I’ve been pretty lax in regards to video presentation, I will try and get into that eventually as I got my hands full right now. Thanks for the feedback!

    Damn, that’s odd, I was able to find it, but I’ve heard there’s issues with arcade right now and that people are having issues finding their own stuff even.
