UMBCast 017 - DOOM

Published: Nov. 18, 2012, 10:56 p.m.

b'One week late, but here\'s episode 17 where I cover the iconic first person shooter series from id software, DOOM.

There\'s so much to say here that I don\'t spend much in the way of time on news, I only mention that Chris Roberts\' Star Citizen project has concluded its funding campaign successfully. They are still collecting for stretch goals so check it out!

I then read a quick email and jump right into things with the main topic, id software\'s DOOM series. I cover the story (such as it is), gameplay, get reasonably deep into the design of the game engine and look at the very interesting development story.
