Become a sponsor to Quinton Reeves
My name is Quin, and I'm the founder and lead developer behind the best FREE first person shooter featuring parkour, Red Eclipse.
I've been working on this game for over ten years, and I'm still here writing new code and implementing feature requests, while also managing an entire community of players and developers. I freely share my knowledge with everyone who's willing to listen, help others become better artists/programmers/people, and provide first line technical support without resorting to "RTFM".
What is Red Eclipse?
Red Eclipse is a unique take on the online multiplayer arena shooter genre, borrowing elements from the classics like Quake and Unreal Tournament while adding something new to the mix. In it, you use impulse energy, allowing you to boost in any direction, as well as do parkour tricks such as scaling up buildings and gliding across walls, rewarding a player's smart movements to create fun and agile gameplay.
With the engine's octree (voxel-like) structure, maps are easy and enjoyable to make. You can use the massive pre-existing library of textures, models and skyboxes or add your own creations, even adding propulsion systems and scriptable events. And all of this can be done cooperatively online, so you can create with friends!
Why Sponsor?
By supporting me you'll be contributing directly toward the ongoing costs for Red Eclipse while also helping me out a bit financially. I make ends meet with the pension I get for my disability, so working on this game is what I do with my time (when I'm able). I simply like being able to give back to the community.
That being said, don't worry if you can't afford to sponsor or donate - I'll always give everyone access to the same content, because I'm cool like that, and I think free and open source media is a worthwhile cause. Red Eclipse is completely free, and there will never be any loot boxes or microtransactions.
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or feedback be sure to let me know!
