Absolutely, the first versions until idTech 5 were open source and a number of important engines, like Source, derive from it.
Wikipedia actually has a family tree that's broader than I remembered: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Quake_-_family_tree_2.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Quake_-_...
The CoD series, Source games (Half Life, Portal, Left 4 Dead), Titanfall, etc.

- vintermann 3mo agoVery interesting tree. Today I learned that the engine we used in college classes, ACKNEX, actually wasn't an idtech derivative. I could have sworn.
- nottorp 3mo ago> the first versions until idTech 5 were open source and a number of important engines, like Source, derive from it Huh? They were made open source when they were obsolete, Valve did license ID IP for the first Half Life but they paid for it. And that evolved indeed in Source.
- markus_zhang 3mo agoMachine games and Arkane studio use IDtech.
- WithinReason 3mo agoIt's also missing games, like American McGee's Alice.
- wtfHN26 3mo agoThanks for the share ... never knew so many great games were built on idTech and engines derived from it. Source being based idTech is a pleasant surprise.
