Learn about EdQuake, the first public 2D level editor for Quake, available for DOS and Windows 95.

EdQuake, developed by CircleA Entertainment, was the first level editor for Quake made publicly available. It utilizes a 2D interface, a design choice made by the developers to prioritize ease of use for the general public, while still offering detailed options for those who want them. The developers believe that a 2D editor is easier to understand and that this approach aligns with some of id Software's own development tools, as evidenced by their screenshots.

If you enjoyed using DEU (a similar level editor), you will likely enjoy EdQuake. However, if you did not like DEU, EdQuake may take some time to get used to. Despite its 2D nature, it is a fully functional level editor for Quake.

Tips
  • Consider EdQuake if you prefer a simpler, quicker editing experience over complex 3D editors.
  • If you are new to Quake level editing, EdQuake's 2D interface might be more approachable.
  • The developers encourage users to create levels and send them in.

Availability: DOS and Windows 95
