• Biz

Special thanks are also granted to Tim Willits and John Anderson, who helped by making maps for the the fourth episode of Doom, Thy Flesh Consumed. Tom Hall, although uncredited, also helped significantly as a mapper before leaving id.

The "id" in id Software is said to refer to a component of the human psyche, the force motivated by pleasure and greed alone, the dark side behind many of humanity's common drives.
