LZDoom

LZDoom is a of the GZDoom source port centered around lower end computer's by drfrag. LZDoom follows GZDoom's feature set and has a few enhancements of its own. It employs a based renderer, as GZDoom moved away to  as a hardware requirement. LZDoom targets users still running with OpenGL 2.1 compatible graphics cards but that want to stay in touch with the latest in GZDoom developments.

History
LZDoom was originally started as another legacy oriented build of GZDoom, built around version 3.3. Eventually, another one of drfrag's ports, GZDoom Vintage was merged into the existing codebase to create one new unified port under the same name. The first version of LZDoom as result of this merger was version 3.82, released on July 19, 2019, 7 days after the last Vintage release.

Future developments
Starting from LZDoom 4.5.0, the port will move to a more recent GZDoom build, dropping the OpenGL 2.1 renderer altogether in favor of the SoftPoly II renderer, a full 3D polygonal renderer that runs on the CPU on a hardware accelerated backend.

Merged features from QZDoom
The QZDoom codebase enhancements partially also found their way into LZDoom, courtesy of Magnus Norddahl (dpJudas) and Rachael Alexanderson (Eruanna). These include:
 * Polygonal, 3-point perspective truecolor software renderer (“Softpoly”)
 * Truecolor support for the classic 2-point renderer
 * Vulkan renderer backend
 * Proper windowed mode support (i.e. you can freely resize the game window)
 * Correct ZDoom software light mode for the hardware renderer
 * High resolution correct version of the software fuzz, for both software and hardware renderers
