It really fucking sucks. DOOM 3 is a game I'm intensely passionate about. The engine itself fascinates me, and it's where I've dumped most of my stat points regarding indie gamedev. I'd like to think that if the world stops being such a tire fire that I could design and release a full game using id Tech 4 or any id Tech. Someday.
I thought I found like-minded people in the id Tech 4 modding Discord server, and by and large I did. There's a lot of talent in that server, diligent people who have even more passion than I do, and have the smarts to back it up, crafting tools and ferreting out old PDFs and videos detailing how to work with this and other similar engines.
There's just one problem: almost nothing is done about bigotry.
