Zaphod on 1.07 & Beyond Q3A

id Software's Graeme "Zaphod" Devine updated his .plan on the occasion of the version 1.07 release of the Win32 Q3Test, talking of expectations for Quake III Arena, and going so far as to drop a hint about id's next project, saying "Look to the next id product to give you the 'brand new' gameplay and world." Here's the update:

1.07 is out there. Please try and find cheat exploits and report them to us!

Also, keep in mind that this is a test, and not the final product. There's a lot in the test which is very temporary, so while we've taken great pride in putting out very solid test releases, we're still working hard on the final product and very much appreciate your feedback (q3feedback@idsoftware.com) in getting this product right for you - the players -

I get a bunch of feedback from people wanting this product to be more like Quake 1 or Quake 2, while others look for us to innovate and make something brand new. Quake 3 is arcade deathmatch, nothing more and nothing less. It's not Quake 1 nor Quake 2, but does nod it's head in the direction of the online DM version of both those products (and apparently pissing off both parties at the same time).

Look to the next id product to give you the "brand new" gameplay and world. Quake 3 Arena will keep basically with what you've seen and read about up until now and it's now time to put this one to bed.
