They are amaaazing.Ĭan you remember when you had the idea for the Duct Tape mod in the first place? Just today I unpacked (after a month-long shipping process) some of those Slaw Device pedals for my VR/HOTAS Digital Combat Simulator setup. Though I also have a young 3.5 year old son, I still game heavily.
Now I'm in the incredibly fortunate position of being able to make big and exciting things all the time. Glen Murphy: I run the Android and Chrome design teams at Google. Waypoint: It's been a long time since the Duct Tape mod-13 years! What are you up to these days? This interview has been edited for clarity. (They were simpler times.) id Software was mostly mum about it, though it later enshrined the Duct Tape mod into the game as part of the 2012 re-release, Doom 3: BFG Edition. The flashlight controversy was a real kerfuffle at the time, in as much as the 2004-era Internet would get up in arms about a design decision. In order to preserve the atmosphere, these new lights are much narrower (and a little brighter) than the standard flashlight, and are only available on the basic weapons." "Under the crazy presumption that a roll of duct tape has to exist somewhere on the Mars facility," he wrote at the time, "the Duct Tape mod sticks flashlights to your machinegun and shotgun. (Even if that means flipping the toilet paper direction in Fallout 4.) Though a number of modders developed solutions, the Duct Tape mod by Glen "FrenZon" Murphy was the most popular. Whatever id Software's intentions were, if there's a demand, inevitably a modder will fill it. "I love how you need to use your flashlight to move around and then when you turn in a room it highlights a monster all of a sudden and then you gotta run and switch to your weapon, it adds to the atmosphere." "The flashlight's separate use was designed for gameplay purpose," wrote one Doom 3 player on the gaming message board NeoGAF, way back in 2004. Other players saw it as a deliberate design decision to introduce risk/reward. Some folks thought it was annoying, irked by the burden of swapping between them.
