Along the way we made a choice between making only small conservative changes to -Q3A, and making the changes that our design team recommended. We took the path of making -the changes that our design team felt were necessary. - -Our approach was to form an international project team and to separate "Design" from -"Programming". While the programming team might have input into the design process they -didn't make final design decisions - that was left to a team of experienced Quake players -who tested changes using a "tweaks" mod. The design team consisted of players with a mix -of competitive experience across Q1, Q2, Q3 and even UT. - -Before the design team began their work we asked the community to 'brainstorm' a list -(called the "candidates list") of all the possible changes they would like to see (some -were contradictory). We also asked noted commentators (pundits) in the community what they -thought might be best. The designers took note of all of these suggestions, and used a -long process of tweaking and testing to develop the Challenge Pro Mode design. The team -released two public betas of their work for feedback and input from the community. - -And that is pretty much how the project team has worked ever since. The result is a -gameplay design which we think is "finely tuned". -</longdescription> -</pkgmetadata> |
