I have been experimenting with programming for several years, although I must confess...I couldn't code my way out of a paper bag! Most of my skills involve [ctrl]-c and [ctrl]-v. But I have gotten to the point where I can look through code and get the general gist of it.

My initial Quake engine project, Tremor, was based around an early version of the DarkPlaces engine. My main concern was to maintain good framerates on older PC's, while still bringing a better experience to the gamer. The Tremor project is being done solely for my own amusement.

I have since upgraded my PC, and gotten MSVC 2003.

I have now moved Tremor to the JoeQuake engine, which is a net Quake engine with most of the FuhQuake graphics. Ideally, I'd like a marriage of DarkPlaces advanced interface and features, with FuhQuakes eye-candy and graphic format support.





Quite a bit of progress has been made on Tremor. I'm at the point now where I don't expect to have as frequent of releases, as the features I'm looking to add will be much more involved and complex.

Tremor has slowly evolved, thanks to the efforts of several people. The particle system has been tweaked considerably, mostly by Entar. I have also added MHQuake's great looking sky code.

I have tried to make Tremor fairly "game neutral", in that many of the Quake specific things have been removed or changed. This has made Tremor a very flexible platform for people interested in creating their own standalone game or total conversion.

Here are some of the key features of Tremor:

I now have some screenshots of the new MD3 models in Tremor.

Things are progressing nicely with Tremor. I have made several significant improvements, including adding QSG extensions.  Check the Files page for the latest release.
