vkquake 1.35.0+dfsg-1

Package Information

DescriptionVulkan Quake port based on QuakeSpasm

vkQuake is a port of id Software's Quake using Vulkan instead of OpenGL for rendering. It is based on the popular QuakeSpasm and QuakeSpasm-Spiked ports and runs all mods compatible with QuakeSpasm like Arcane Dimensions.

Although there exists many free partial asset replacements and mods, an original pak0.pak file is still required to use this engine, be it shareware or the full assets obtained from a source of your choosing.
