[death at dm5]

[the CO2 quake comic] this is the 2012 re-post of my classic 1997 quake comic "death at dm5". for more information, a zipped download version and all the ancient gameart.com stuff see the tribute to gameart.com site. [this and that] i was always wondering what the quake guys were doing when i wasn't playing and what's going on in the dark and dangerous clusters of the 1.38gb quake-folder on my harddrive. dm5 is my favorite level. although i experience "death at dm4" quite often (hot, hot, hot...) i've chosen dm5 instead, as it's a map with a lot of nice places that suit the plot best. [dadm5 and the "real" world] this comic is not intended to be a competitor to dank & scud or any other quake comic, as it's designed in a totally different style. i'm a perfectionist, and so the images may look more like taken from a travel folder than from a real quake session, but i'll not excuse myself for any lack of realism, explicit language or missing things. well, maybe... [software / hardware] the images are screenshots from quake 1.08, processed with corel photopaint, corel draw and corel capture 7.0 on a p200mmx with 64 megs of ram in 1027x768 and 540x450 and then sized to 50%. the models were edited with meddle 2.0p [lgal crap / downloads] you're not allowed to use any part of this comic for commercial purposes, but you're allowed to copy [dadm5] as a whole for non-profit reasons. if you want to mirror [dadm5] or store it compressed, please contact [nop], as we want to keep track and list the mirror/download sites. all html code and images are ©1997 by [nop//CO2]. if you feel offended by any of the pictures and/or texts, we don't care. for a list of download sites see the [files] section at http://www.planetquake.com/co2/ http://gameart.onderka.com/.
