    Work has started on “baseio“, a project to create a small game to include with the ioquake3 engine download with Creative Commons licensed content. Work has already been started on textures, weapon models, and a player model, but there is still much to be done. Animations, mapping, and audio are most needed, but if there’s anything…

    Via Thunderbird’s excellent kwaak3 ioquake3 spin-off, I just tried out ioquake3 on a borrowed Verizon Droid (Motorola Milestone). I’ve also tried kwaak3 on a donated T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream): it is truly amazing that ioquake3 can run well on these platforms, not just for first-person-shooters or doom clones, but for new kinds of games to…
