- roland35 3y agoGame Engine Black Book: Doom is also a fantastic read! https://fabiensanglard.net/gebbdoom/ https://fabiensanglard.net/gebbdoom/
- globuous 3y agoLooks very interesting, thanks for sharing! The pricing section is very informative btw, congrats to the author for sharing it
- soulofmischief 3y agoFabien is a Hacker News darling, I'd highly recommend both the DOOM black book and Wolfenstein black book, I have them and love every page. Give him your support! Masters of Doom is also required reading for any hacker.
- stathibus 3y agoIf you're interested in this topic, there is probably no better source now than the recent John Romero autobiography Doom Guy
- adrianbourke 3y agoI second that. Romero's autobiography covers Doom's development in detail, well beyond The Masters of Doom. This includes all the games leading up to Doom, which informed their approach. It was a great read.
