What is quake.by
Quake.by is a personal blog and a portal for indie game developers and modding enthusiasts who like to work with Quake and idTech based engines (DarkPlaces, FTE, GoldSrc, Source, etc.). Here you can find various tools, guides, news, mods and much more.
What is the goal?
Mod making has always been poorly documented, and a huge amount of misleading and outdated material has accumulated on the Internet. Our goal is to collect all relevant information, tools in one easy to use place, share experience and develop our platform.
