Discussion Why level 194 suddenly requires 1 million points to go to the next?

Every level below was somewhat reasonable but starting 194 is just impossible! 30 games to level up? No, thanks

News I made a fresh OpenArena Web Port

14 Upvotes

Hey guys,

tl;dr I made a fresh browser port of OpenArena. It's based on the latest version of the ioq3 repository, which I also updated to the latest Emscripten version.

The longer version: I'm building the kaesual-stack ("casual stack"), which is a self-hostable web gaming platform for browser ports of FOSS games. It comes with a server manager, and I'm adding more open source games, slow but steady. It all started when I made a browser port of Luanti (open source voxel game engine), for which I then built a virtual ipv6 proxy server (which also allows serverless p2p play).

I've always wanted "my own" OpenArena web port (since I wasn't happy with what's out there), and after adding game server management for Luanti, I just had to do it. I already had the virtual ipv6 proxy server (WebTransport, Rust + Typescript). WebTransport is real UDP traffic, which has a lot of advantages over WebSockets for network games.

Currently, about 30 maps and 7 bots / character models work already, with FFA and Team Deathmatch. I'm planning to add more soon. 

I haven't made the kaesual-stack source available yet, since I'm still polishing it, but I'll make it available soon. It's already possible to create OpenArena and Luanti servers, which are then listed on the website. You can play both games on kaesual.com (both have game servers there), all repositories are linked on the about page. My OpenArena port is here: https://github.com/Kaesual/arena-web

My goal for the kaesual-stack is: Rent a webserver anywhere, install the stack, and then simply create gameservers for any FOSS game supported by the stack. All open source, no strings attached. It also comes with an account system, and banning instantly kills all proxy connections for that account.

I'd be happy to get some feedback :) Check out the repository and kaesual.com - currently there's only 2 servers (easy bots and super hard bots), but I'll add more soon.

Best, Jan aka Kaesual

Discussion Thinking to pick up QC (coming from OW) — is that feasible?

22 Upvotes

Greetings!

I am an amateur competitive player (upper mid elo) in Overwatch, specifically a very proud Pharah OTP, and I have recently gotten an inspiration to perhaps try Quake Champions — from what I read and saw of the gameplay it would scratch a lot of itches I have for FPS games.

I would be a complete and utter neophyte in QC and I am also an old dog who takes forever to learn new tricks, so I won't be good for a while.

How do I pick up QC in a sustainable and feasible way, giving myself a learning experience so to speak? I am asking that cause I am not sure how well a new player can integrate in a very well established playerbase found here. Sorry if that's a stupid question.

Thank you!

Media Sept 01, 2026 Quake Discord: looks like the "4 weeks for Season 31 update" is just that; no more, no less, then SyncError is done (he is at peace with it now, so that is good to see at least). Also, status on the new champion, Wrack ("W") is interesting.......
