There’s already an extensive answer about your TF history in this BattlefieldQ4F.com interview dated to 2006, Jeremy. It also details nicely how Q4F development at first started as Doom 3 Fortress, took the Quake turn and proceeded from there. Apparently you had your roots from QWTF, TFC and Q3F, and you even involved in a brief development attempt of Q2F. What about Unreal Fortress (UnF) though? Because I see in your independent creations that you were an Unreal Tournament 2004 level designer. What about ETF (Enemy Territory Fortress), which was not mentioned alongside Q3F in that 2006 interview? Lastly I see there is a TF2 map designed by you, so I also wonder your relationship with FF and TF2 in the aftermath of Q4F development.

Jared:
I played QWTF almost daily from shortly after it first came out up until the public scene died off with the release of Quake’s source code. Then I transitioned to playing Q3F for a long time. I played TF2 for a bit but couldn’t really get into it. My first experience with TF development was as a level designer working with Jeremy on Doom 3 Fortress. I worked on a port of The Rock. After that project fizzled out Jeremy started up the Q4F team. I transitioned to programming for Q4F and have been doing video game programming ever since.

G:
Back in the day, you describe the “tweak” of Q4F as 1) being a QWTF-TFC-Q3F fusion, 2) Simplifying TF’s learning curve (and introducing auto-hop in this context).
But I wonder how you think Q4F would feel, in a more general sense and in its essence, if it came out the way you wanted. I read that Quake 4 had ramp slides and crouch jumps. As the last id Tech engine to be open-sourced, id Tech 4 was almost a full rewrite of id Tech 3, and a switch from C to C++. The new graphics are a substantial change as far as I can see and read. And as someone who enjoys Quake Live (the 2010 remaster of Q3A) and ETF whenever I get the chance, I am struggling with the feeling of QWTF and TFC, and I never got to experience Q4F aside from hopping around on an empty map.

Generic content.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
