About RAZE

RAZE is a port of Build Engine games backed by GZDoom technology. It is hosted as a public repository under the ZDoom organization on GitHub. It combines Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Redneck Rampage, Shadow Warrior, and Exhumed/Powerslave in a single package, and can also play Nam and WW2 GI.

On the repository page you can browse the source files, read the README with credits and source bases, and follow links to the home page, forum, wiki, and Discord server. The page notes that build instructions are in the wiki's Programmer's Corner, and lists the source ports each game module is based on, such as NBlood for Blood and PCExhumed for Exhumed/Powerslave.

The page suits players and others interested in running classic Build Engine titles with GZDoom-based code, as well as those who want to review the code, documentation, and related community resources.
