qbism Super8 is an open source 3D game engine with advanced yet intentionally retro 8-bit graphics for a crunchy pixelated look. The source code is forked from Makaqu Quake with enhancements from other Quake projects. The goal is to expand capabilities of authentic software-rendering without sacrificing performance.
