A Doom II Secret From 1994 Has Been Unlocked
A secret from 1994's Doom II, hidden for so long that its trigger was assumed to be a bug, has finally been discovered.
The crowdfunding campaign for Blackroom—a new shooter being developed by Doom co-creator John Romero—has been cancelled so developers can work on a demo. Once the demo is out, the funding efforts will be relaunched.
Blackroom is the new shooter teased by John Romero last week, and he’s trying to raise $700,000 on Kickstarter. Romero describes Blackroom as a “return to fast, violent and masterful play on the PC.” If funded, they’re aiming to release in “winter 2018.”
While it’s just a teaser for another announcement, DOOM co-creator John Romero has announced he’s working on a new shooter. He’s working on it with Adrian Carmack. The game will be formally unveiled on April 25. Here’s hoping it’s not another F2P shooter!
