DOOM Documentary: Part 1 - To Hell & Back

2.9M views · 9 years ago · documentary · evergreen

Part 1 of NoClip's three-part DOOM Resurrected documentary on the making of the 2016 DOOM at id Software. It follows the team through the project's rough start and its rebuild.

HN programmers recommend it, along with the rest of NoClip's documentaries, as an honest look at what it takes to make and finish a game.

Nice to see NoClip getting some love on HN. I'm an unabashed Danny O'Dwyer fan and I think this community would enjoy all of NoClip's work if this is your first taste. His docs cover quite a few behind the scenes stories that I feel all us startup / programmer folks can relate to. His work captures the heart of what it means to be a creator. My dream is that one day he makes a doc about the community around Vim. It'll never happen, but a boy can dream.

DOOM Resurrected, Part 1 - To Hell & Back (DOOM Documentary) - ▶ this video DOOM Resurrected, Part 2 - Designing a First Impression (Doom Documentary) - link DOOM Resurrected, Part 3 - Guns, Guitars & Chess on Mars (Doom Documentary) - link I too recommend these. Noclip also has a bunch of extended interviews that you can find on their channel or in related videos but I haven't seen those so can't comment on whether or not they are worth looking at.
