yquake2 VS OpenGothic

u/d10sfan has added vkQuake2, Yamagi Quake II, Q2PRO and FTE QuakeWorld source ports for Quake II Enhanced and its mission packs to Luxtorpeda repo. Thanks to that, native Linux ports of the games can be played as Steam games.

Jazz² Resurrection is an open-source engine reimplementation of 1998 platfomer classic Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Just like other source ports like QuakeSpasm, Yamagi Quake II, ioquake3 it requires original game data to run that can be purchased in GOG.

I have been enjoying the h*ck out of Quake II (the Yamagi version, not the Steam version).

that prigraam alreasy has compiled releases https://www.yamagi.org/quake2/

Quake 2 (Yamagi mod supports Xbox controllers. Go here to download it.)

Quake II using the Yamagi/yquake2 source port (Vulkan)

OpenGothic - Gothic 2 clone. C++, DX12, Vulkan, Metal

There is also OpenGothic. Which can be used standalone or through Luxtorpeda.

quests are implemented mostly in scripts. the window of the quest log is implemented here: https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/blob/master/game/game/questlog.cpp. game scripts then create topics and set their status by calling these functions

Well the screenshot shows G2 and OG works good enough for G2 for such a image. And OG already runs at least on M1 so using it as a good base for a remake or console port might be an valid option.

What for? Better improve an existing project, like https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic

Kinda exists. There is OpenGothic. "The goal of this project is to make a feature complete Gothic game client compatible with the game and mods." There is also a team of russians who released an early build for Android (video), download is still up :)

Was looking at source implementations of old game engines and came across https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic . Was surprised to find it is implementing Ray Tracing on Metal https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/issues/261 . This has to be a first.
