Today marks the end of my 13 year adventure at id Software. It's been the absolute honor of my life to work at this studio...It's hard to put into words and I'm not going to lie, it's a little emotional.

Lots of posts about blockouts this weekend. Here's Super Gore Nest's blockout. Mostly simple blocks with a few rough model placeholders. The focus was always gameplay first and I wanted the level to play well before art went in.

Speaking of Doom Eternal modding...IMO, all future official efforts should be put into supplying the community with idstudio and everything needed to mod properly. The combat mods so far have been incredible...I would LOVE to see what's possible with full support.

As a designer, I always struggle finding the perfect balance for a levels length. You can easily fall into the trap of just 'one more room'. The Sprawl. A good example is Doom 2016. Resource Ops and Foundry used to be one level. Titans Realm and Necropolis used to be one level.
