Title. This thought popped into my head a while back. You think Romero would like DOOMRL's gameplay? You think Carmack would like the LUA code? I even considered e-mailing them and asking them, but maybe Kornel is more suited to do something like that (or a senior developer/community member with more guts than I. Iunno.)

Well, I've at least seen a picture with both Kornel and Romero in it, so either 1) he's very good at photoshop, B) Romero has a body double or 3) they've actually met.

I believe the situation was that Kornel and John were on a panel together, and afterwards someone came up and asked John "Hey, have you heard of DoomRL?"

So, did he know/like DoomRL? I can't imagine he wouldn't.

With Jordan Mechner in the picture as well, can we expect Prince of Persia, the Roguelike? Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top? ;)

(No, I have absolutely no clue, how would that work.)

I'd expect a lot of dodging. And sand daggers. (disclaimer i have never played PoP)

And Kornel meeting Romero is awesome. We still don't know what Romero thought of DOOMRL though.

Not having a C&D is a subtle acknowledgement, as far as I can tell.

John Romero hasn't been with id Software for a long time, so it doesn't really mean anything. The real guy to ask what he thinks about it would be John Carmack but I can already guess he'd love it because he's into that kind of game.

When you get a game made that's based on your game, and that game is a high-quality roguelike tribute, it's hard to not like it. Especially when you're still the ultimate evil at the end of said roguelike.

No C&D? That's good too. They must like it :)

I was tempted to e-mail Carmack about it. Anyone else want to do it for me? :p
