The DOOM community's ingenuity knows no bounds! Recently, NyanSatan achieved the seemingly impossible: running the classic DOOM on Apple's Lightning/HDMI adapter. This remarkable feat was accomplished by leveraging the adapter's built-in iOS-based firmware and 168 MHz processor. Due to the adapter's lack of internal memory, a MacBook was used to facilitate the firmware transfer and game execution.
Meanwhile, news about a new iteration of DOOM is generating excitement. DOOM: The Dark Ages will offer unprecedented customization options, prioritizing accessibility for all players. Players will be able to adjust enemy aggression, damage, and projectile speed, as well as fine-tune other gameplay aspects like tempo and parry timing. This level of customization surpasses previous id Software titles.
Executive producer Marty Stratton emphasizes the game's accessibility, confirming that prior DOOM experience isn't necessary to understand the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal. The studio's focus is on making the game enjoyable and approachable for a wider audience.
