For those unaware, id Tech is a series of game engines designed by id Software. The original version of the tech, known as the Doom engine, powered DOOM, DOOM II, and DOOM 64. Over the years, new versions of the technology have powered games like Quake and Quake II (id Tech 2), Quake III Arena and Return to Castle Wolfenstein (id Tech 3), and DOOM 3, Quake 4, and Brink (id Tech 4).
The latest iteration of the engine, id Tech 7, powered the critically acclaimed DOOM Eternal, allowing for an increase in geometric detail without sacrificing frame rate.
