GLORY KILL
Glory Kill (2021) was a personal multimedia project that communicated the history of one of the most important franchises in entertainment: DOOM
The main part of the project was a 25cm by 25cm, 114 page long book, which detailed the history of id Software and the DOOM franchise from its conception in the 90s, the issues faced after 1996’s release of Quake, the warm reception of 2016’s DOOM revival and the series’ current state of affairs, and finally touched upon the fandom for the series and the surprisingly active community that the classic entries continues to foster.
Glory Kill was written and designed by me, and contains short interviews with DOOM series co-creator John Romero, DOOM community member Decino, and creator of 2018’s DUSK David Szymanski.
