🧟 A Slew of New Player Models

Quetoo just got a lot more interesting to look at and listen to. Twelve new player models are now available in-game, sourced from the ioQuake3 and DeFrag communities, overhauled and upscaled for Quetoo.

Say hello to Bloodseeker, Caustic, Creech, Cruentus, Gammy, Gaunt, Gladiator, Mantis, Merc, Nitro, Sarge, and Violator. These are the cream of the crop for community-made Quake3 player models, resurrected with tender loving care and per-pixel lighting.

We need a Community Lead

It's been a minute since our last post, and that's a problem.

Hello readers! Quetoo 1.0.0 shipped in May. Since then:

90 engine releases
~1,500 commits
3 mods
4 maps
5 selectable movement systems
A fully customizable HUD
In-game editor enhancements

The list goes on. And essentially nobody outside our Discord knows any of this happened 🫠

Discord (discord.gg/unb9U4b) — 400+ members, ~20 active on a given day
Facebook (Quetoo.org) — 615 followers
YouTube (@WickedOldGames) — 155 subscribers; our most popular video, the one above, has 4,500 views

The thing is: the people who find Quetoo tend to stick around. But practically nobody finds Quetoo 💀 We’re building a fun and beautiful game, but failing to promote it and draw in players.

After 19 Years 💀 Quetoo Is Here

A love letter to the QUAKE series

Quetoo development officially began in January 2007. But really, Quetoo was born out of a dorm room in the late 1990s — a time when Quake wasn’t just a game, it was an obsession. In the early 2000’s, the open source release of the Quake engine taught a generation how to write code, how to build maps and map compilers, how renderers worked, and how to think in 3D. For many, us included, Quake was a doorway to lifelong friendships and careers in software development or game design.
