> Sadly, the Quake engine is irrelevant today, and I wish someone would write a similar serious of articles about their development efforts and battles. The original one perhaps, but there are several updated and improved versions out there that are far from irrelevant. Take a look at DarkPlaces and especially FTE for instance. FTE has OpenGL4.x/DX9/DX11 and even a Vulkan renderer and can be used as a base engine to create your own game on top of. These engines stem from Quake and although most of the things have been improved or rewritten, FTE can run Quake, Quake2, Quake3, Hexen etc etc.
