GZDoom

ZDoom is a family of enhanced ports of the Doom engine for running on modern operating systems.

Risen3D

Risen3D is an advanced Doom port by Graham Jackson based on Jaakko Keranen's Doomsday port. Risen3D should be used as a stand alone port as it does not require any of the Doomsday binaries.

Is there anything that proprietary software can do and has no open alternative?
GZDoom for Doom and many other games running on the same engine. Source: over 1 year ago
John Romero has released a new Doom 2 level for a €5 donation. 100% of the proceeds go Ukraine relief efforts.
For modern source port check GZDoom https://zdoom.org/index or Chocolate Doom (for higher framerates and stuff) - https://www.chocolate-doom.org/wiki/index.php/Chocolate_Doom. Source: about 2 years ago
How to I get the ID Build engine?
Also, if you want to make a shooter like those, you don't really want the original Build engine. What you want is a modern open source implementation of those engines. For Duke-like games you can try https://www.eduke32.com/ (Ion Fury was made on this) , for Doom try https://zdoom.org/index or https://dengine.net/. Source: over 2 years ago
O3DE: Open 3D Foundation announces first major release of Open 3D Engine
I don't know, but if you want a retro game you might as well use a retro-engine. Ion Fury (2019) used the EDuke32 engine and there are also modern versions of the original Doom engine, like GZDoom - with modern games like Brutal Doom or SIGIL (2019). Source: over 2 years ago
Why is this so complicated?
Because zDoom and GTA anniversary releases are a thing. Source: over 2 years ago
