This is awesome -- I grew up playing Quake 1 and really fell in love with it more as we as a community learned to exploit the movement physics. Still my favourite FPS and still arguably the one with the steepest learning curve.

I didn't have a chance to watch the video yet, but out of curiosity does this actually use QuakeWorld or base Quake 1? As I remember the physics are different between the two, right?

It's the Quake 1 physics, not QW. I haven't looked at the QW physics in detail, but I think the main difference is that there's a single frame of ground friction applied between every jump, which ends up making a difference to the optimal techniques.

It's difficult to tell, but my guess would be quakeworld.

QW has slightly faster strafing, so there is a significant difference.
