Here's some Quake Live Beta screenshots I took all the waaaay back in July 2009.

Recently on @frag-net we had an article about Quake III's 25th anniversary, and I had a section that was cut where we were gonna talk briefly about Quake Live. That's where I was gonna post these, but this side tangent didn't flow well for that post. I'm not sure when or if we will publish our take on on Quake Live, but I didn't want these images I dug up to never see the light of day.

Now you may be thinking, I dunno, #idTech engines seemed geared towards one thing and one thing alone: first-person shooters.

Yeah, they defo excel at that, but consider that with full access to the source, you can do whatever the hell you want, because you're a #gamedev, a magical creature who turns cheap snacks and copious amounts of crying into gameplay.

Do you want to make a side scroller in id Tech? Yes, id Tech can do that:
