| My name is Rui Neto, I live near the beach in Carcavelos near Lisbon. I've have been active from when Quake was born in 1997 until 2002. I played QWDM like a maniac. When my first kid born in 2003 I almost completely quit and started playing Quake singleplayer instead. | <span interview-answer>My name is Rui Neto, I live near the beach in Carcavelos near Lisbon.

| I first played Quake in February 1997 at a friend's place and fell in love at first glance... and a few months later I started playing everyday on portugese servers. Later I played on European servers and in various tournaments. | <span interview-answer>I first played Quake in February 1997 at a friend's place and fell in love at first glance... and a few months later I started playing everyday on portugese servers.

| Maybe I am more known as a QWDM player - everybody knows Trinca ;) Nowadays I am rusty but I used to play quite good. I think the work that gave me more fun was creating [[http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/tcoa.html|tcoa.bsp - The City of Angels]]. The map's construction and texturing are rather basic but the layout came out very good and I think I polished the gameplay well. | <span interview-answer>Maybe I am more known as a QWDM player - everybody knows Trinca ;) Nowadays I am rusty but I used to play quite good.

| |
| It was kind of a retribution to the all other people who make maps and like to play. And of course the fact that I love Quake. I'm not looking for a job in the game design community, I have a nice job in my native country. Also I wouldn't want to work for any other game. | <span interview-answer>It was kind of a retribution to the all other people who make maps and like to play.

| I still play Quake and I think I will do so for many more years to come... I don't like to play mods too much but I play all new maps.

| I think the community still strong, I just think people should support each other more, make less negative comments and give more support (ex: make comments on other people maps, talk the negative stuff but in a positive way, I remembered [[vondur|Vondur]] complain about a map he released somewhen in 2002 because he had few comments... etc). I think comments are one of the major reason that we map. It makes us happy to see people's comments our maps. I hope someday people will understand that and make more comments (and more first demos! It is pure fun see them dying in our traps :=) ). | <span interview-answer>I think the community still strong, I just think people should support each other more, make less negative comments and give more support (ex: make comments on other people maps, talk the negative stuff but in a positive way, I remembered [[vondur|Vondur]] complain about a map he released somewhen in 2002 because he had few comments... etc).

| I think we must support eachother better or this community will die for sure... I hope this won't happen as I still love this game and I want to keep playing it in the future. Hopefully guys like Spirit(quaddicted), metlslime(func), Baker(quakeone), vegetous(quakebrasil), sassa(quakeworld) and all the others who maintain great Quake sites alive will stick around. | <span interview-answer>I think we must support eachother better or this community will die for sure...

| I love fast and furious maps, so a Quad & lots of monsters to kill = pure fun, even if map is huge like the [[http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/warpspasm.html|Warpspasm]] ones.
