John Romero, co-creator of Doom.

John Romero isn’t done with the first-person shooter genre he helped create

John Romero made a name for himself in game development as one of the original creators of Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake. He helped establish the first-person shooter genre in the 1990s, and those games are now a multibillion-dolllar market. And Romero is still involved.

He recently teamed up with fellow id Software cofounder Adrian Carmack to make a shooter game called Blackroom. Their new startup, Night Work Games, launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign and then shelved it after four days to create a more elaborate demo.
