this might not matter at all to some or most of you but what's your favorite id tech engine
im split between the quake variant of 2, 3 and 4
the ones after 4 arent open source so they are irrelevant to me and ive seen people get 4 to basically be as good anyways

note: this is NOT about the quality of the games if it was 1, quake, and 3 ez clap
i wanna learn how to work with them all

I don't know about the engines, but I would say my favourite is quake 3 because it's the only one I've played :3

yeah nah, I haven't played enough to have an opinion on the id tech games
my favourite feeling games are DUSK and turbo overkillbut they run UE
I do like the movement on UT99 and also assault cube if we're talking retro engines

does doom count as id tech engine. only relevant game i've played i'm pretty sure

id Tech 1 naturally, because I am a huge Doom fan and I think the limited pixel graphics are beautiful

but 2-4 are great for polygonal 3D games and can still do impressive things today
