John Romero, co-founder of id Software and designer on a number of classic first-person shooters including the first two Doom games, has released a new level for Doom II to raise funds for Ukraine. Called "One Humanity," this is Romero's first Doom II level since 1994, although in 2019 he released a whole game of modded levels for the original Doom called Sigil, which was well-received. Romero is currently working on Sigil 2, which will also be made using Doom II modding tools.

You can pick up One Humanity from Romero's website for €5 at this link.

maybe not a good idea when toymakers get political, in any way.

Are they allowed to be humanitarian?

 

[HideoKojima]

There are rumors that the game was already hacked by Russian hackers.

I think there's some partnership there, actually, so good luck sorting that one out.

 

[eyeliner]

Bought it, without even remembering if I have Doom II.

At this point it's more likely you do own DOOM and just don't know it.

There's something nice about seeing Romero tinker with wads again.

No.

 

[dimenfer]

Good move but I don't know, I like how the world react when things happen in Europe.

If you own Doom Eternal/Doom 3 BFG, you own both Doom 1 and Doom 2 wads. They aren't perfect, but make good bootstraps for mods.

everyone is forbidden to pirate this

Spoiler: Nah

The UN? What's next, NATO?

They've destroyed countries in the past, yet the West didn't care because it wasn't a Western country. We should cherish humanity and not be picky about who gets to live.

I bought, but don't Like Classic Doom ..

Why in the world would anyone support the U.N.?!? And it's not like Ukrainian people caught up in the middle of all of this are going to see any of the money any more than my black friends ever received a check from BLM. This just seems like another one of those happy clappy actions made without any discernment, just so John can feel all warm and cozy within his heart.

That said, it's a pretty damn good wad.

 

[Kioku]

John Romero does something good and you all bitch about the UN. Holy shit.

Always something wrong with you people.

If something happens to Ukraine or Europe, people go crazy and start raising funds like mad. When something happens to the so-called "Black people" or "Black Nation" (Which I happen to be) people used to rejoice over that back in the 1600's up to modern day. You just don't see it.

I kind of wish the money just went directly to the Ukraine and not to the organizations. It’s hard to support when I am not a fan of either organization that this is going towards. For context, Red Cross still has some homophobic policies and the UN doesn’t have the best track reward when it comes to war aid.

I have good news for you, Wal-Mart, The Ford Foundation, NIKE, and nearly every mega corporation on the face of the planet, donated huge sums of cash to BLM after Rodney King (EDIT George Floyd) placed himself once again, in a dangerous situation within the hands of cops who themselves often lack discernment within the big cities. I know, I'm pale white and pasty and I got beat down by a couple of them once over false accusations from my drunk and belligerent white and Asian neighbors. Granted, this doesn't mean you'll get a cut for what might have happened to your ancestors, unless of course you came from Black Royalty or were not a decendant of a African POW, in which case (with one exception) your ancestors would not have endured slavery. I.E. my boss' family came her from Africa in the 1600's and married into the Black Foot tribe in South Carolina, and now her uncle is one of the heads of the current tribe.

Of course I am part native too, and I never got any reparations, nor have any of my slavic friends, or Irish friends at that.

My point? You can't base your history off of pigmentation, there is too many nuances, too much diversity, and so many details that remain neglected when one is looking soley through such a filter.

Red Cross is religion based, and the scripture it uses as it's base doesn't condone to homosexuality. It has nothing to do with fear. I am Christian and some of my friends butt fuck. It doesn't ruin my day, but I do ask that they wash their hands.
