Episode #26
John Romero // CEO at Romero Games
This Podcast episode is DOOMed 🔥🌋😈🧟🕯👿☠👹🦹 I had the chance to talk to John Romero, the inventor of DOOM, Wolfenstein and Commander Keen and founder of id Software about:
- Developing games in the early 90s and how they developed DOOM in a crazy small team
- Developing games in 2021 and how it’s still possible to develop games with only a single person team
- The crazy amounts of money they made with DOOM 🤑💶🤑
- The crazy amounts of energy drinks they consumed
- Why not he would not start developing a game engine again
Thanks a lot John! Was really fun talking to you.
