phobosdeimos1 Posted April 14, 2011 I've googled this a bit and resorted to posting, does John Romero still make WADs for doom? (in his spare time of course)? Or maybe i'm missing out on some infamous wads he may have made throughout the years that everybody but me knows about? 0 Share this post Link to post
Mithran Denizen Posted April 14, 2011 I've heard a few quotes saying that he thought about doing so at times, but I've never seen him release any new maps since Ultimate Doom. I'd doubt it. 0 Share this post Link to post
elic Posted April 14, 2011 I think he talked about making something for DTWID. Other than that a doubt hes released anything. 0 Share this post Link to post
phobosdeimos1 Posted April 14, 2011 Awwh, i'm sure he's really busy but still - If we all wish hard enough. 0 Share this post Link to post
Megamur Posted April 14, 2011 Indeed, he's been busy working on games for social networking sites. I doubt he has the time to work on free levels for some really old game he made over 15 years ago. Heck, I wonder if he'd have to re-learn how to build DOOM maps. It's been a really long time, after all. 0 Share this post Link to post

And if he did have to re-learn, it sure as hell wouldn't take him long. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ultraboy94 Posted April 14, 2011 Don't ask me why, but I could see him suddenly becoming obsessed with Doom again and make many maps when he retires... That might just be a crazy dream though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Alphawolf Posted April 14, 2011 Bet when they all retire they'll do a few might even see them on here. 0 Share this post Link to post
DeathevokatioN Posted April 14, 2011 Well I hope they retire soon then. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

hex11 Posted April 14, 2011 Maybe he's working on a Farmville clone where you have to protect your crops against demonic hordes when they invaded earth. You start out with a crappy one-sector STARTAN3 building, and you can buy upgrades, or your friends can buy you gifts of things like fortifications, sentry guns, robots... Has anybody made any farm-theme PWAD yet? 0 Share this post Link to post

Lila Feuer Posted April 15, 2011 He isn't even with id anymore, sadly. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted April 15, 2011 John Carmack is the only "founding father" of id that is still there. Tom Hall, John Romero and Adrian Carmack have all been convinced to leave. In order, Hall left after Doom because he didn't like the design direction towards ever more violent action; Romero left after Quake because the rest of the team felt he was resting on his laurels and not doing any real work anymore; and Adrian Carmack left after Doom 3 for not wanting to sell the company to Activision. 0 Share this post Link to post

"Forced out" would really be more proper terminology for the last two. Getting forced out of a company you own part of (since you cannot be fired, seeing how you physically OWN the company) generally entails the other owners issuing an ultimatum and refusing to do any more work with that person. Resistance is generally futile especially if the majority of stakeholders are against you, since otherwise the business process will break down and the company will either split up or fail. 0 Share this post Link to post

Nothing to do with laid back Ska music, unfortunately. It's more of a wordplay/pun on the Greek work "skata" meaning "shit", and "Daikatana". "Daiskatana" sounds almost like "Dai-a shitty mess" ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post
