![]() "The more fun part was running and gunning," Romero says. While playtesting the early first-person action, as tuned by engine lead John Carmack, the team discovered something surprising. The company's original development plan included the sneakier aspects of the 1981 game and its 1984 sequel: walking carefully, searching dead bodies for loot, dragging incapacitated guards out of hallways to avoid being spotted, and picking locks for items. ![]() Gatling over stealth independence over Sierraīy March 1992, id Software had gutted some of the gameplay elements that made the original Apple IIe game an office favorite. At the event, Warner signed one of id Software's Wolfenstein 3D printed manuals, which Romero says is still at id Software's offices. To do this, folks from id drove to Kansas City with a $5,000 color Toshiba laptop in tow to meet Warner at a convention where he was speaking. "That idea won instant approval," he says.ĭuring the panel's Q&A, Romero confirms that id Software not only met Castle Wolfenstein creator Silas Warner but showed him Wolfenstein 3D's retail version shortly after its 1992 launch. After co-founder Tom Hall suggested an on-foot follow-up to id's 1991 curio Hovertank (seriously, what a busy year!), Romero says he countered "instantly" with his own pitch: a 3D remake of the 1981 Apple IIe classic Castle Wolfenstein. "We should make another 3D game with texture mapping," Romero suggested, as a nod to the slow-but-novel game Catacomb that they'd also shipped in 1991. id Software co-founder Adrian Carmack agreed-"I'm sick of Keen"-and John Carmack (no relation) "viewed the carnage" and assessed that a change might very well be in order. After helping id Software complete the game's first demo in one week, Romero announced that he wasn't interested in keeping the Keen series going. This included multiple Commander Keen side-scrolling games, and id Software began the year of 1992 by prototyping the game that would have been Keen 7, whose major technological advancement would have been parallax-scrolling backgrounds.
