Welcome to the first episode of the Quakecast! No guests this time as ArrrCee and dumptruck_ds discuss the current state of affairs in the Quake scene and look back on their introduction and involvement in the community. We discuss our respective Quake-related projects in addition to some funny anecdotes including getting busted by our “tighty whitey” wearing dads. Tune in to hear all that and more in our inaugural episode.

Immorpher is a dark ambient composer who has generously offered his music to Quake and Doom mappers alike. His day job involves biophysics (making use of his PhD) - but at night he crafts disturbing soundscapes that fit perfectly in Quake's dark universe. This is a fascinating interview spanning music, science, Einstein, education, Nintendo 64 controllers and much more!

All good things must come to a... temporary end! Don't worry, The Quakecast is not ending or anything, but ArrrCee steps back into the co hosting chair to let you all know that he will be taking a break from the podcast for the moment to help raise his new born baby. ArrrCee and Dumptruck go on to ramble about some other random musings and actually manage to get in a little Quake talk as well.

PuLSaR had been mapping for Quake for many years before taking a Half-Life 2 hiatus in the mid 2000’s. His Rabbit Hole mod eventually lead to a job in the Russian gaming industry.  In 2015 he came back to the Quake scene to begin work on a series of impressive maps including Leptis Magna (a collaboration with Ionous) for Arcane Dimensions.

He details how "Vectronom" evolved from a simple platform puzzler to a hybrid title that's breaking new ground. While working on upcoming game projects he is also developing a level design course focused around Trench Broom and Quake1.Website: http://www.ludopium.com/Vectronom Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzS7ablsdk0&t=7sVectronom: https://store.steampowered.com/app/925460/Vectronom/
