ZDoom now comes in multiple flavours!

Although the parent ZDoom codebase has been discontinued, the latest official release is available here for posterity.

GZDoom is the latest version targeting current systems with modern graphics hardware. (Vulkan/OpenGL 4.5 capability recommended, but the minimum requirement for the hardware renderer is OpenGL 3.3, the minimum for the software renderer is Direct3D 9)
