ironwail

Uses modern OpenGL features like instancing and compute shaders to offload rendering to the GPU, enabling smooth gameplay on complex custom maps such as Shibboleth and Ravenkeep at high framerates.

Includes a Mods menu for quick add-on access, mouse-controlled UI, and in-game weapon key binding configuration, reducing reliance on console commands and enhancing usability.

Automatically detects and runs the 2021 Quake re-release content from Steam with zero setup, allowing players to simply unzip Ironwail and run the executable for instant gameplay.

Offers real-time palettization with optional dithering and classic underwater warp effects, preserving Quake's retro aesthetic while leveraging modern rendering techniques.
