Heretic/Hexen Source Code Released
Heretic/Hexen Source Code Released-October 2024
Oct 19, 2024 7:35 AM

  Raven Software and Activision, freshly invigorated by the success of its latest Heretic II title, have released the source code for both Heretic and Hexen.

  "As a result of the enormous popularity of the DOOM * source code, we are extremely excited to see what the gaming public can do with the Heretic and Hexen code," says Brian Raffel, vice president of Raven Studios. "It is our hope that people will create such modifications as GL Heretic and GL Hexen and support higher resolutions, greater multiplayer capabilities, mods, and ports to new operating systems like BeOS and Linux. The possibilities are as endless as the community's imagination."

  The source code weighs in at only 1 MB and comes complete with an installation program, legal info, and readme files. It will be interesting to see if ported versions of either title show up on other platforms. We'll keep out eyes open to see what comes.
