The future of Q3E Minimizer:
2 years of development, 5 released versions, more than 20,000 downloads in total...
It's certainly been fun.
However, all good things must come to an end, and barring any critical bug discoveries,
this will be my final version of Q3E Minimizer. No v1.60... ;P
The main reason for this is that I think the program is starting to show its
age now. With the Q3 engine source code released, and no more official games
being developed for the Q3 engine, there's probably no point to continue development
on a program designed solely for that.
That being said, at the moment, I'm contemplating writing from scratch a new
minimizer program, one that would be a lot more dynamic than Q3E minimizer,
able to handle any kind of game, and can let users add their own settings to it.
In addition to that, I'm also contemplating releasing the source code to the latest
version online, under the GNU General Public License, so that other people may
continue to develop it.
In the meantime, there are still several other UberGames projects I have lined
up, so look out for them!
If you enjoy using the Q3E Minimizer or any other programs created by UberGames,
then please think about donating too! Donation details are below.
Well, thank you for taking the time to read all the way down here. ^_^
I hope you enjoy using Q3E Minimizer and that it makes your gaming
experience all the more better.
Happy Fragging!!!!!
