I too am looking forward to both the modding of 9.9, and the graphics of 1.0.
While I wait however, it gives me more time to plan out my TCs, rather than jumping in and making a mess. Anyone else planning/have plans for TCs?
What do you have planned? I myself (not worried about the idea being "taken" since my version will be different from someone else's and vice versa) plan on doing a couple Quake TCs. As well as doing something like Quake 3 that incorporates enemies, items, weapons, and characters from all the Quake games, Doom games, and Wolf games.
Speaking of which, will it be possible to create "classes"? Different character classes for the Quake 3 TC that feel like Doomguy, Quake1guy, Quake2guy, BJ, etc? Even a Hexen/Heretic TC would be pretty cool with the option of classes.
