I gave up on moddb. It's nothing but people fantasizing about making HL2 total conversions.
They post their ideas and then try to recruit 15 modellers, 3 coders, 6 mappers and a sound guy. They will be the "mod leader", meaning they'll do nothing.
For a while I tried educating them about real modding, but I gave up.

You missed my point. moddb.com and PlanetQuake are rather well known whether we like it or not (hence my link to the other thread). I think we should have a presence at these places, despite the HL2'ers, and I thought the Mod of the Year awards were a good opportunity to do it.

Fanboyz will be fanboyz. That said, I'd hate to see someone go to PQ or moddb looking for Quake modding help, finding none, and resorting to the runner-up most moddable game (HL or HL2, since they're based on Quake, #1) and missing out on the advantages of our community. _________________ woh... feelin woozy... too much cider...

It's kind of funny, I got a e-mail from them mentioning the event not to long before entar made this topic.
I don't really think I'm gonna do anything regarding it. moddb bores me, and is probably the one thing whose mention makes me want to not mod. _________________ "Roboto suggests Plasma Bazooka." |

January is too close for me to be able to show anything i reckon. Yes guys i'm still around, and with a brand new mod (total conversion).
I don't see moddb holding any kind of reward a reason to rush things... i'd rather take my time. I guess it's just for mods that are already kicking around.
Mauvebib is right, lots of people that have no idea about modding who make pages showing 'descriptions' but no images no nothing... looking for a team while they just sit back and be "lead". A lead in the games industry that does what role they want to do... just doesn't exist. If someone tries to do it, they get fired. Simple.
Oh and i just want to say HI EVERYONE! It's been quite a long time since i've done any modding for quake but hopefully i can backup all my talk with something good, it'll take me a couple of months to get a pic together as i've only just started it.

You know.. if there's one thing the Quake community doesn't have, it's a good taste in music. All Quake videos seemed to be scored with either filthy Euro trance trash, or retarded hardcore/metalcore... _________________ F. A.

Video is too dark for my tastes, but that second shot there, the one in e1m2 intermission looks quite cool.
Sajt - Fern/Fr3n, a Quake mapper, did the music actually =) |
