Q3 Demo Tonight?
Looking at the ol' .plan files revealed another update from John Carmack with the news that the demo release is imminent. He also has a worklog in there, but nothing earth-shattering in it...
The demo test is built. It should go up in a couple hours if nothing explodes. Mac and linux builds won't be out tonight.The ever present Blue noticed that Graeme made a similar update. Good thing Steve's gone for four hours, guess I'll do the mirrors if it comes out.
Quake 3 Arena demo test should be out tonight. Watch the skies!update Jack - I'll just update this story to keep all the comments in one place :-) Graeme made another update clarifying the term "demo test"
Just so we’re all sure. This isn’t the general demo. If all goes well we’ll upload the general demo in a few days. The demo contains four maps (q3dm1, q3dm7 (q3test1), q3dm17 (q3test2) & q3tourney2 (q3tourney) and six characters (Sarge, Visor, Major, Grunt, Daemia, & Stripe). Bots are in there on five difficulty settings (from “I can win!” to “nightmare!”).This seems to mean that this demo is a pre-demo demo :) Actually, it's probably more along the lines of a test just to shack out any really big bugs that might be in the game. Christian Antkow also made an update saying that the update will be about 52.1 megs.
