I am aiming for a release day of the 17th of July. Testing? I don't need no stinking testing. Now, I realize that I put the custom sounds and textures in red, which means that they probably won't make the release. This means that my initial release will be as a mod and not a standalone game. I really want to see this as a standalone game, but digging out all of the original textures, sounds, and other game content is a load of work, and I'm only going to do it if I think it is worth the pay off. That is why I am going to release as a mod first, and then go standalone on a people-seem-to-give-a-shit-enough-basis. If nobody touches the mod then I won't bother going standalone, it is as simple as that.

What you will need to play the mod: You will need the two .PAK files from the original Quake game. If you don't have Quake you are out of luck. You can always buy the game, I think it is $10 on Steam or you can get it brand new and in a box from Amazon.com for less than $10. It is a classic as hell oldschool shooter and you owe it to yourself to own the thing anyways. I'll put all the relevant information on how to install the mod in a README file when I release the game.
