After the source code for the Quake III Arena was released, the game became
|
|
|
|
|
standalone. The idea is based on the Padman comic strip for the magazine
|
|
|
|
|
PlayStation Games, created by the professional cartoon artist Andreas "ENTE"
|
|
|
|
|
Endres, who is also the man who made many of the maps included with the game
|
|
|
|
|
in 1998.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The current version runs on an enhanced version of the ioquake3 engine, which
|
|
|
|
|
is based on the Quake III Arena engine. Most of the maps in the game are
|
|
|
|
|
lilliput style, and have a commercial-quality level of graphic complexity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because it was originally a mod for Quake III Arena, most of the gameplay is
|
|
|
|
|
similar. However, there is no Capture the Flag mode in World of Padman.
|
|
|
|
|
World of Padman fully supports bots with a variety of skill levels in both
|
|
|
|
|
online and offline play for all of the game types included. A single-player
|
|
|
|
|
mode has not yet been implemented. Players can also record audio and video
|
|
|
|
|
as they play. The game fully supports modifications, and custom maps can be
|
|
|
|
|
created.
