− | '''AfterQuake''' is a Quake package, similar to QuakeWorld's [[nQuake]], [[ClassicQ]], or even Quake's Epsilon Mod. It was launched at the QuakeExpo 2016 (QEXPO2016) event. [https://qexpo2016.com/introducing-afterquake/ Link to announcement].
| |
− | It is a combination of the [[FTE]] engine (source port or client) and community-made content packages. '''It supports both Quake (singleplayer) and QuakeWorld (multiplayer).'''

− | This page is about AfterQuake only. '''Visit [[FTE]] wiki page for a more extensive list of features'''.
