Any photographs of iD developing Keen in 90s?

Post by KeenRush »

What the topic title asks. Are there any film photographs whatsoever of the team working on Keen (1-3) in whatever garage they were based at?

I wasn't aware Romero was 15 in 1989!
Keening_Product was defeated before the game.

Unfortunately, there isn't. But here's a photo of John Carmack and John Romero working on the Mario 3 demo which showed off the scrolling technique (adapt tile refresh) that would later be used in keen:

You can find a lot of id related photos on Romero's smugmug. There's an image of the house where the team developed the galaxy trilogy.

Soo looks like the texture of that wall in the back is the inspiration of these background tiles:
