The DOOM community's relentless innovation knows no bounds. Recently, NyanSatan achieved the seemingly impossible: running the classic DOOM on Apple's Lightning/HDMI adapter. This adapter, surprisingly, boasts its own iOS-based firmware and a processor clocking up to 168 MHz. NyanSatan accessed this firmware, leveraging a MacBook to overcome the adapter's lack of internal memory, and successfully launched the game.
Meanwhile, news on a new DOOM iteration surfaces: DOOM: The Dark Ages. This version prioritizes accessibility. Players will enjoy extensive customization options, unlike previous id Software titles. Demon aggression can be adjusted in the game's settings, allowing for a more tailored experience.
Executive producer Marty Stratton highlights the studio's focus on accessibility. Players can modify enemy damage, difficulty, projectile speed, damage taken, and even the game's overall tempo, aggression, and parry timing. Furthermore, Stratton confirms that prior DOOM experience isn't necessary to understand the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages or DOOM: Eternal.
