Heretic and Hexen Source Code To Be Released

One final note, we have received permission from both GT and id to release the source code to Heretic and Hexen.

Heretic and Hexen Source Code To Be Released is the story today, and it fits right into the fast-moving PC gaming pileup of June 1998. they will be releasing the source code to Heretic and Hexen. One final note, we have received permission from both GT and id to release the source code to Heretic and Hexen. I’m not sure when exactly this will happen, as we have to remove the sound code within each of those games (the same issue that Carmack had when releasing the Doom source code). For players keeping one eye on patches, demos, hardware, and whatever the big studios are cooking up next, this is exactly the kind of update that can disappear in a day and matter a month later. Welcome to PC gaming, where the news moves faster than most download mirrors.
