DarkPlaces
The ''Quake'' engine (part of id Tech 2) is the game engine developed by id Software to power their 1996 video game '' Quake''. It featured true 3D real-time rendering. Since 1999, it has been licensed under the terms of GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. After release, the ''Quake'' engine was immediately forked. Much of the engine remained in ''Quake II'' and ''Quake III Arena''. The ''Quake'' engine, like the ''Doom'' engine, used binary space partitioning (BSP) to optimise the world rendering. The ''Quake'' engine also used Gouraud shading for moving objects, and a static lightmap for non-moving objects. Historically, the ''Quake'' engine has been treated as a separate engine from its successor, the ''Quake II'' engine. Although the codebases for ''Quake'' and ''Quake II'' were separate GPL releases, both engines are now considered variants of id Tech 2. History The ''Quake'' engine was developed from 1995 for the video game ''Quake'', released on June 22, 19 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Nexuiz'' is a free first-person shooter video game developed and published by Alientrap. It was released on May 31, 2005 under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and uses the DarkPlaces engine, a modified ''Quake'' engine.

Gameplay ''Nexuiz'' is primarily multiplayer (though it includes a full single-player campaign, which allows one to play through the various multiplayer game types and maps with bots), and allows for hosting and joining of games. It supports new gametypes, or whole conversions quickly applied to it (much like '' Quake''). Development ''Nexuiz'' development started as a ''Quake'' modification in the summer of 2001 by Lee Vermeulen. Soon afterward the project moved to the DarkPlaces engine created by Ashley Hale, who later also joined the project. The original design called for a simple deathmatch project with a few levels and one character model to be release ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
