John Romero’s Post

Look I am no Nostradamus here, okay...but Romero Games Ltd., posting open positions for a new FPS game. I think people beating Sigil 2 probably assumed that the mentioned Hellion was going to be a DOOM 2 WAD. But I consulted a team of scientists, and they are predicting that this is the new game Romero is making. Think about this - design principles similar to OG DOOM. That fast moving, enemy prioritizing, demon ridden goodness of old but new, and improved. Maybe if we are lucky, another Buckethead soundtrack. The FPS genre is no desert right now. It's booming with games and a whole new generation of pistol starting, circle strafing maniacs who are discovering not only the classics like Doom, but also their modern contemporaries - the DUSK's, Turbo Overkill's, Ion Fury's, Selaco's, Prodeus', Amid Evil's, Ultrakills, and Mullet Mad Jack's of the world. (Oh I'm sorry I can't name ALL the good FPS games from the past 10 years, LinkedIN doesn't have a two million character limit) So having one of the original king-shit's of the FPS, who is still making Doom WAD's with no super shotgun and eight thousand dickhead Cacodemons make a brand new FPS game in the time where these games have been nicknamed "boomer shooters" because 38 year olds like me are sitting and waiting for the next Eviternity or Sunlust to come out for our GZDOOM executables would be the absolute cherry on top of what I consider the new greatest era for the genre. Or I'm totally wrong and Hellion is another DOOM WAD, not that I'd be disappointed either way.

🎞 🎮 Coming from a filmmaking background, I couldn’t wait to learn how to make cinematics in Unreal Engine. These past weeks I’ve been playing around with some marketplace assets and I created an Action/Sci-fi inspired sequence.

Here's your casual reminder on the best way to get into the business of games: MAKE THINGS 'Show, don't tell,' remains the best way to break into this business. A resume filled with qualifications is great but one with practical evidence of ability is best. I scroll through LinkedIn daily and I am constantly impressed with the growing number of demos showing animation, VFx, gameplay, etc., from people sharing what they love doing. I can promise you, when roles open up, teams are attracted to the people with evidence of their talent. If you feel you don't have a portfolio of work, get out there and engage with your community; join game jams, start a personal project, help others on theirs and start making things!

I want to talk about careers, specifically in the games industry. Did you know that there's more to the games industry than just art, design, and programming? Really, there’s a whole lot more. CIG is unique in that we possibly display the widest array of careers needed in the games industry under one roof. Every career is crucial to the development of our product. You don’t need to be a wizard at coding, the Da Vinci of anatomy, or the Ive of design. Sometimes, you can be that one person who just goes out of their way to make everyone’s working day that much better—like Ashley McGovern. The point is, there is a place for everyone in games, no matter where you are from or what your passion is. It's all about perspective. The next 12 months are going to be our biggest yet, and I want to show the next generation where they fit in the games industry.
