1 month agoUpvote for calling out the ambiguity in the title:
- “Doom popularized some mechanics still used today” - this is not that.
- “FPS engines descend from ideas in the Doom source code” - this is not that.
- “id named their engines with ‘Tech’” - this isn’t that, Doom was before that.
- “Modern descendants of the original Doom engine can informally be called ‘tech’” - this is what the title means.
Eventually the line comes back in from the top.
