Voodoo Extreme fired off a question to John
Carmack regarding the state of Q3 and the video and sound. Since there's no
other way to do this, I'm gonna have to rip it:
Billy's Question on Q3:
Since you don't really have a time frame of when Q3 will be done ("When
it's done, dammit"), are you planning on doing anything else to the
engine, as far as visuals? Also, any word on 3D audio support, last I heard
(from Brian, way back when), was that it was still up in the air.
John Carmack Responds:Most of the work now is optimization, and trying
to get everyone to utilize the features we already have. The latest levels
look tons better, but it is due to better texture and geometry use, rather
than new features.
3D sound is still not implemented.
