Trivia

Did you know that in the original Doom games the speed of projectiles does not take the vertical dimension into account? For example, this causes monsters' fireballs to travel extremely fast when fired from above or below.

Doomsday

Doomsday (also called the Doomsday Engine) is a source port, presently developed by project founder Jaakko Keränen (skyjake). Former developers include Jamie Jones (Yagisan) and Daniel Swanson (DaniJ). The team is collectively known as deng team. It supports multiple id Tech 1 games through a plugin/core architecture. Alongside the core engine, three official game plugins are developed by deng team, for playing Doom, Heretic, and Hexen. The Doom plugin also supports Chex Quest and Hacx as independent IWADs.

On November 1, 1999, Skyjake released the first version of his Hexen source port: jHexen 0.97.1. On December 18, 1999, Skyjake publicly announced both Doomsday Engine and intention to create ports for Doom and Heretic.
