We had the honor of meeting John Romero, the father of DOOM 🔥 Seeing in person the creator of a game that marked our childhood felt surreal ❤️‍🔥 We’re just a two-person indie team, but moments like this remind us why we started making games: passion and that unstoppable fire inside. Thank you John!
