This page documents information about an engine not developed by Valve. This information is documented here because it has technical and/or historical relevance to Valve's engines.
id Tech 2, also known as Quake engine, is an engine created by
id Software for
Quake, and later modified for
Quake II. It was used as the foundation for
GoldSrc and all subsequent
Valve engines.
id Tech 2 consists of the following two "branches":
- The
Quake Engine, developed for Quake and used by several other games
- The
Quake II Engine, developed for Quake II and used by several other games
Both id Tech 2 engines were later made open-source under the GNU GPL 2.0 (or later) license.
