Like most games by Id Software, ''Quake'' saw the release of its source code on December 21, 1999. This release led to many projects that were aimed to beef up what the engine could do, leading to projects such as [[https://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/ DarkPlaces]], [[https://www.fteqw.org/ FTEQW]], [[https://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/Quakespasm.html QuakeSpasm]] and [[http://leileilol.mancubus.net/engoo/ engoo]], and games such as ''VideoGame/{{Nexuiz}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Xonotic}}'', as well as allowing highly complex ''Quake'' mods such as ''VideoGame/ArcaneDimensions'' to exist. On October 11, 2006, in order to celebrate [[MilestoneCelebration Quake's 10th anniversary]], Creator/JohnRomero released [[https://rome.ro/news/2016/2/14/quake-map-sources-released the source code for the game's maps]].
