DXBigBoss Posted April 9, 2011 http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/9089/minecraftmakesadoom2ref.png I first saw this not too long ago, and I was like what is this referencing? I thought a little and I laughed my head off. It was referencing Doom 2's little weirdness of how on the automap for MAP11 it says 'O' of Destruction, and on Intermission screens it is referred to as Circle of Death. This really caught me by surprise, perhaps one of the creators of Minecraft likes Doom 2 or something? 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted April 9, 2011 That's a pretty obscure reference for someone who is just a casual fan. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xeros612 Posted April 9, 2011 There is also a message stating "idspispopd". 0 Share this post Link to post
Varis Alpha Posted April 9, 2011 I don't know how much a Doom fan Notch is, but I do recall reading a interview with him that he was fascinated by Carmack's Doom engine. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fletcher` Posted April 9, 2011 Monster infighting! Phobos anomaly! MAP11 has two names! idspispopd! That's all that's in it so far reading splashes.txt 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted April 9, 2011 Doomhuntress said:I don't know how much a Doom fan Notch is, Notch, a.k.a. Markus Alexej Persson, was the creator of the STARK Doom-like engine, one of the early serious attempts at making a Java port of Doom. He even was a Doomworld member: first mention of the STARK engine. Is that enough of a relevance to you? :-p 0 Share this post Link to post

Because if you are talking about me, I don't think "casual" is the right word for me. Just saying, most people here are the hardcore Doom fans. 0 Share this post Link to post

So I guess he does like Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
chungy Posted April 10, 2011 Minecraft has one guy that originated the game, but it's developed by all of Mojang now, it does have multiple creators. Still, the Doom references are purely from Notch. 0 Share this post Link to post
Katamori Posted April 10, 2011 heh, I can answer easily, because I play both games very much time :D Minecraft menu texts have a lot of references: Phobos Anomaly! -> Doom E1M8, of course :) idspispopd! -> Doom noclip code MAP11 has two names! -> Doom2 MAP11 easter egg: 'O' of Destruction and Circle of Death :) I don't know anything else, but it's possible :) 0 Share this post Link to post
