Yay, now someone can make another Shitty game like brink!
The art style of that game totally fooled me into thinking it would be great.

which one Brink? I got in on the cheap. It's Ayight.
Doom 3 was dope, even on my shitty PC.

This is very curious, as Prey 2, a yet unreleased game, is running on modified Doom 3 engine. Hypotheticaly, they payed royalties for nothing.

Call of Duty games are based on Quake 3's engine, that's even older. You can even see id mentioned on the boxes in the fine print.

I agree with UncleReg. John Carmack is a personal hero of mine.
I've been browsing through the code since this morning. Maybe it's a bit more interesting to me than it might be to others since I'm actually a developer and a FOSS nerd but it's really cool. I have so much respect for id because they continue to do stuff like this.

@Startyde:
It isn't like this was unexpected. Carmack has publicly made a point of releasing the source to previous engines when the next engine went commercial. This was done with Doom, Quake 1, Quake 2, and Quake 3 previously. People had even asked if Doom 3's source code would be released once Rage finally came out.
But what you get in such a download is only the engine source code. You don't get any game assets. You don't get any help or support, which is probably provided for people who licensed the tech previously. And of course you have to wait for id to release a game in their newest engine. A big budget company release isn't going to postpone their development for all those reasons (and incur all the related costs) just to save some licensing fees.

I day oned it like a dumbass. So many games this year are making me realize I shouldn't spend money on day one products sadly

Creative Labs owns a software patent on the coding technique in Doom 3 that creates stencil shadows through a technique called "depth fail" - the code was written by Carmack and he sort of pioneered the method, so it's colloquially called "Carmack's Reverse". However, Creative Labs owns the patent on the technique because they claim they "invented it" before it was used in Doom 3, even though John came up with his version independently. This illustrates why software patents are terrible. It's like trying to place a patent on a particular set of steps used to solve an equation.
Last week, Carmack tweeted that he was having to rewrite that portion of Doom 3's code to get around the patent issue. Know what his fix was? He added four lines of code and changed two.

I found DOOM 3 really disappointing. Didn't even finish it. It wasn't DOOM at all. Painkiller and Serious Sam are where it's at for real DOOM "sequels."
Great thing. For me as game developement student, it's great to take a look into a professional project
I'm trying to get good at game development. It's hard work. Right now I use MMF2 and Game Maker 8, fun programs but there's a lot to learn. I also got the UDK but it's way over my head for now. Learning how to code is a bitch and stuff like this is awe inspiring.
@Holyetheline
How about some (e)books and much time-investing into Visual Studio'10 and C++... don't use stuff like the apps, you named...
learn coding.. that's the key

Hey guys. Check this out ...... I found a cool site. They give free steam games as a gift. All you have to do is join the site and earn points Join this site (http://steampoints.com). If you not believe them then you will miss huge thing. Now it's up to you. I got some games from that site. So, I shared it with you guys. Good Luck !!!
