Happy 35th Anniversary, id Software! From our moonlighting beginnings to co-creating the first-person shooter genre to winning awards, it was an amazing time and proud of the games we all made together! #idSoftware #doom #keen #wolfenstein

improvements! I am guilty of currently being wrong on our own UI, people saying it was too busy. I think playing with simplifying down to maybe minimal text with just one encapsulating backing could help. I like the bottom right image

I really like the muted colors and texture work! Giving me WALL-E vibes for sure :)

Any fans of side scrolling shooters, this one's worth checking out! Really punchy quick gunplay, and tht was on the old itch demo

Added some visuals to our map trave wagon to breath life into it. We might have to just go ahead and add a race or catch a trail level onto the list, this is fun!
