NEWS AND UPDATES

March 12th, 2025: We're back!
It's been more than 5.000 days since the last news update of the website that Brian Lowe made, on November the 29th 2010. A lot has happened since then. But hey, we're back! Currently finalising content as we go. Work has finally started on the Wolf3D Front. Get Psych... well, you get the idea.
 
September 18th, 2022: SOD 30 years
30 years ago today, Spear of Destiny, the prequel to Wolfenstein 3D developed by id Software was released September 18, 1992. It used the Wolfenstein 3D game engine, with some slight improvements and modifications. It uses the most of the original's resources, and adds new textures, music, objects, enemies, and bosses. Happy B-day!
May 5th, 2022: Wolf3D 30 years
30 years ago today, id Software unleashed their second major release (after Commander Keen, of course) on an unsuspecting world, in the form of the Wolfenstein 3D shareware episode uploaded to the infamous Software Creations BBS, allegedly at 4AM after pulling an all-nighter squashing last minute bugs. Little did they know that their WWII-themed First Person Shooter – based on the 1981 Apple II action adventure game Castle Wolfenstein – would go on to spawn a multi-billion dollar industry that is still going from strength to strength 3 decades later. Making its way onto multiple “greatest game of all time” lists in the intervening 30 years, in addition to regularly being touted as the “grandfather of 3D shooters”, it’s hard to overestimate the historical importance of this game.

March 10th, 2003: Website redesign online!
Yes, finally, after a lot of work, the new version of the site is online! It took a lot of time, and a lot of work. But I feel it was worth it. Feel free to look around and enjoy!
