Fifteen years ago, if someone were to have told me that id Software was working on a turn-based role-playing mobile phone game, set in theDoomuniverse, I would laughed. What ridiculous notions — playing videogames on a phone, and a turn-basedDoom RPG! Hah!
As it turns out, the future is a strange place, and not only was there a turn-basedDoom RPGfor mobile phones, but it was — gasp — actually pretty good. For those of you without Java-based phones interested in getting in on the cacodemon slaughtering action, you might have your chance … on the Nintendo DS.
Ina recent interviewwith Fountainhead’s Anna Kang, she mentions the desire to bringDoom RPGto Nintendo’s popular brain training device. In this mind-blowinglyexcellentinterview, Kang also talks about developing games with her husband (one ofDoom‘s daddies, John Carmack), and a possibleOrcs and Elvesfor the Wii.
