Collaborated speedruns

Quake done Quick is an important aspect of the Quake speedrunning community. Essentially, it represents a collection of collaborated speedruns in which the game is finished as quickly as possible with special rules and aims.

Unlike the normal records listed above, these movies are created one level at a time rather than in one continuous play session; as such, it is possible for multiple people to help create the movie by sending in demos of individual levels, and much better times can be aimed for as the segmentation allows one to easily try again upon committing an error. It also allows runners to only have to focus on a small portion of the game rather than all of it.

Popularity Popularity

These movies are by far more popular than the conventional records, both in the community itself and outside of it.

Some of them, most notably the movies that feature a fast playthrough of the game on the Nightmare difficulty level without additional voluntary challenges, have even been distributed with gaming magazines and posted on news sites. Slashdot has published an announcement of the then newly createdQuake done Quick with a Vengeancemovie on its front page.[1] Out of all the series' movies, this one is also the most popular. In it, the entire game is finished in 0:12:23 on^“Nightmare^”difficulty, the hardest in the game.[2] This run succeededQuake done Quicker [3] and the srcinal Quake done Quick [3] movie, in which the game was finished in respectively 0:16:35 and 0:19:49. ^[4]The main reason for the latest installment being over 4 minutes faster, an improvement that surpassed the initial expectations of the runners,^[5]was the discovery of bunny hopping, which allowed runners to attain a much higher speed in most levels and even made it possible to save rockets or grenades since certain jumps could now be done without them.^[6]This movie is currently being improved by new and old runners for a production calledQuake done Quick with a Vengeance Part II .[7] As of October 2006, the improvements that have been made thus far would result in a time of 0:11:30 for the entire game, an improvement of 53 seconds.^[8]

Machinima Machinima

Some of the productions have been turned into machinima movies, using "recams" (showing the run from preset camera perspectives rather than the first-person view) and sometimes even custom skins, models, and a script to turn them into films rather than speedrun videos.^[9]This is done for entertainment purposes, while there is always a first-person perspective recording available as a documentation of what the runners are capable of.^[10]

Releases Releases

This is a list of releases in the Quake done Quick series of which the most notable ones have been further annotated.

For more information on the movies that aren't further explained here, see the Quake done Quick Web site [11].^[12]

Unlike the conventional records, the individual players that worked on these movies are not listed; there are always many different players working on these projects, and as such, they are usually attributed to the ^“Quake done Quick team^”, while details on who made which portion of the run can be found in the description text files that come with them.
