>>3958153
It was one of the reasons I enjoyed MC and eventually got tired of it. It was great because it was like making a map while playing in it at the same time. I eventually got bored though because there was simply more to do in WorldCraft and if I wanted more detail or textures, I could easily write a pack and stick it in.

If there were a way to simultaniously play Quake and build a level while doing it, MC would've never needed to be a thing.

I'm pretty sure that's just a Quake editor.

Quake is another game I never had much fun with.

>> No.3958954

>>3958938
It's Quake. You know, like the thing that came after Doom. Check the Doom thread for further information on how to play it in modern times.

If you mean WorldCraft, it was the precursor to the Valve Hammer Editor, which was used to make Half-Life 1 and 2's maps. It's a utility that allows you to place brushes (Objects like blocks) to make a map. These brushes can be reshaped however you want to provide a level of detail. If you're trying to learn how to use it, I would recommend Quaddicted, it's got tutorials on how to use modern map design software. WorldCraft 3.1 stopped being updated in '99 and the only reason I still use it is because I've never removed it from my computer since then. I believe Trenchbroom or Radiant is what's preferred now.

There was this shareware game called "Clonk". First popped up round '94.
Kinda more like a retro ancestor of Terraria, but I guess the similarities to Minecraft aren't too far off.
You could dig out minerals from the ground and build your settlement. Controls were awful.

Infiniminer
http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Infiniminer

A voxel-based game that came before Minecraft. 2 teams compete to dig up the most loot, be it gold or the rare but valuable diamonds. The lava in this game was like old-timey Minecraft, where it could expand endlessly if you weren't careful.

The game had 4 classes to choose from; Miner could hold the most ore and loot, Another class(Scout?) had a scanner to detect gold and diamonds. Engineer had more blocks to build with (trampolines, ore banks, beacons, etc), and could deconstruct friendly/enemy blocks. Sapper had remote-detonated TNT for clearing space and trolling the other team.

Try the Cube engine games. They are FPS games that have a level editor built into the game itself, which can even be used collaboratively in multiplayer.

Essentially, an adventure game engine. Made by Tim Sweeny of Epic MegaGames, back when both of those were still relevant.

By default you get a couple of adventure games to go through. The shareware one was the Town of ZZT, where you had to solve puzzles to collect the 5 Purple Keys.

However, ZZT also had a built-in level editor that let you not only make maps. but program custom objects to do basically whatever. Things got... kind of absurd by the end.

zzt.org might interest you.

try MZX, it's ZZT but much much more complex. while you can have a fuckton of fun creating your simple minimalistic adventure in ZZT, you can build a whole game engine in MZX! just go to http://vault.digitalmzx.net/index.php and pick the installer corresponding to your OS. You know what? we should do a whole general thread dedicated to ZZT and MZX just because these things are amazing!

I don't think mascot platformers in general were ever popular. They never did well in the sales charts, and all the best selling SNES and Genesis platformers involve Mario, Sonic and Donkey Kong.
