Re: Id Releasing Doom 3 Source Code
I've always admired his programming prowess, but I guess this is cool too.
I'm sure he's smart enough to realize that these games are past their prime and are no longer very profitable to the company. It's a smart move to release the source code at this point, because it rekindles interest in the games and helps to create a rather large modding community.

I'm guessing you're talking about a disassembly? You can disassemble any executable and call a 5 megabyte, completely incoherent assembly file "source code," but it's worthless...

Re: Id Releasing Doom 3 Source Code
John Carmack is awesome! If you have any interest in id or just reading about game development you should read Masters of Doom.
2.Resident Evil 2 - I love the game and would love to see how it actually works. Capcom for the first time in years do something for your fans.
3.Silent Hill - I'd love to see how the game works.

Re: Id Releasing Doom 3 Source Code
I'm glad to have access to this, when in the future I am deciding how to architect something, I can see if they have any ideas I can borrow from. A great resource! Also the sick amounts of comments make me happy.
My github repository contains the project I am currently working on,
