his forum is still up iirc. Posted there a few months ago asking him what was going on with the engine. (And now don't remember the answer, if there even was one) *searches for forum again*.

Real Life issues and interests took priority, plus the project didn't have a goal so he was really just 'hacking' features together without a purpose - I don't mean to imply that it was a half arsed job in saying that btw..! :icon25:

This doesn't really belong in LEM.

It was already posted in Q3AD btw. I can't wait so see some nice things done with the source now though (a bug free 1.33 PR with faster map loading

q3fusion etc.).

Not to mention completely new games. I think I'm going to have a go at messing around with it a bit.

Yes but its not as good, rendering wise, as people hoped. Hell apart from a few things, Q2E is streets ahead of it, hell, even other peoples Quake 2 Clean ports...
