Quake done double Quickest lite

Quake done double Quickest lite

Today, on Quake's 28th birthday, I am super happy to share this special update with you: the release of our latest Quake done Quick project!

This time around, we were going for the double: to improve Quake done double Quick lite, the 2-player co-op project from 2006 that finishes all of Quake on Easy difficulty as fast as possible.

Quake done double Quickest lite finishes in 8:43, a whopping 72 seconds faster than its predecessor. The additional challenge in this project of having to play in sync with your teammate even in face of internet lag was daunting at times, but with a buddy alongside you making the grind that much more fun we managed to push through time barriers that we didn't even believe in ourselves. With entirely new routes and great execution of the usual flashiness of no-self-damage co-op gameplay, we couldn't be happier with the result.

The team of runners that paired up on server to grind out each level with combined strength consists of the well-established big names in modern-day Quake speedrunning, but also saw several new faces. Your contributors to this project are:

  • Connor Fitzgerald - Running/Routing, Recamming, Video Production
  • EddWardG - Running/Routing
  • Elias 'Elgu' Solla - Running/Routing
  • Kisimov - Running/Routing
  • Máté 'Muty' Tóth - Running/Routing
  • Petar 'praskOo' P. - Running/Routing
  • Ryan 'Chambers' Moore - Project Lead, Running/Routing, Demo Editing
  • Sphere - Running/Routing, Programming, Video Production
  • Gustav 'brainfluid' L. - Running/Routing
  • MELBO - Running/Routing
  • József Szalontai - Tech Support, Programming
  • Thomas Stubgaard - Cheerleading
And here's how to watch the run: For all the details, checkout the text file that comes with the run and look out for a future commentary video over on Quake Speedruns Explained.

We hope you enjoy our little birthday gift! Keep on Quaking!
