Netradiant tutorial xonotic5/8/2023 The Dæmon engine and the Unvanquished game itself are tested on a very wide range of hardware and software configurations (see the Unvanquished GPU compatibility matrix). If you look for an open source engine to implement this or that new rendering technique or looking for an open source game to try some advanced AI thing for bots or anything fancy, hey, maybe you found the project you need! Hardware and system support The Dæmon engine and the Unvanquished game are welcoming places for experiments. After improvements on the rendering side in the XreaL era, at Unvanquished time we migrated from legacy QVM to NativeClient (now WebAssembly is in the pipe), then migrated bot code from the legacy AAS system to navigation meshes, and we are now back at improving rendering. XreaL then Dæmon were always a good place to showcase new techniques. If you want to base your game on this engine, you’re welcome, it’s made for! The Dæmon engine lives as a dedicated open source project, with development currently hosted on GitHub. So if you’re looking for a game engine with modern rendering techniques and model animation while keeping some classic game experience, the Dæmon engine is for you! Not being as old-school as something based on EDuke32 or classic Doom with sprite-based characters (though you can make games with similar feelings with it), the Dæmon engine positions itself more in that family of games like Unreal, Quake or Doom 3 with somewhat realistic environments but with nervous gameplay and no “ return to combat area” message. You may have noticed some ongoing trend for some classic game engine mechanisms on the market, even commercial games like Ion Fury being based on EDuke32 (Build engine derivative, Duke Nukem lineage) or Wrath: Aeon of Ruin based on DarkPlaces ( Quake lineage), both being free and open source engines like Dæmon. Special effects like bloom, rim lighting, motion blur, heat haze, and color grading are supported. Initially based on the id Tech 3 engine due to Tremulous lineage, and inheriting both improvements from the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory branch and the Xreal Engine, the Dæmon engine evolved to support modern techniques like a tiled dynamic light renderer, bone-based model animation including Doom3’s MD5Mesh and Inter Quake Model “IQM” support, surface multitexturing including deluxe mapping, normal and relief mapping, the good old Phong lighting model and (new in town!) PBR materials, while keeping the proven BSP technique for rendering the world. The Dæmon game engine is tailored for fast paced arena games.
