  I thought this might be interesting to the programmers who, like me, got their first introduction to "big" programming projects by modding the Quake games.

  See also the Tech Rundown blog post which talks about how they back-ported some Quake III lighting and shadow tech to the enhanced Q2 engine: https://bethesda.net/en/article/6NIyBxapXOurTKtF4aPiF4/enhan...

  Just a flat re-release of an old game on modern devices? That's cool I guess, but there's Quake II VR that's way more interesting :p
