scar3crow (10/12/2006 4:09:36 AM): who made The Underearth? some map lists credit you, others credit Willits
John Romero (10/12/2006 4:10:42 AM): Willits.......the wikipedia is correct
John Romero (10/12/2006 4:11:30 AM): it's dumb that i didn't get credit for programming but the guys didn't want to give out multiple credits for anyone
John Romero (10/12/2006 4:11:45 AM): i also made about 1/2 the sound effects

John Romero: Well, the sound of those songs isn't what was going through our head while we were developing the game - it was only during our testing phases. And Quake's CD Audio was *never* played during development because it was the last thing created and put in the game. So the real musical influences were different per designer.

During Quake's development we were playing MP3s in the game that were created by a friend of Trent's that were really really great - I wish we would have kept those songs and played them as MP3s.

cant seem to locate the bit about McGee currently, but it is noteworthy he did the sound along with Xian and Soundelux Media Labs. Quake uses a lot of stock sounds (zombie groan, ogre awakening is the same as Duke3d's pigcop, the various water dripping sounds, so on).

we also have the fact that Romero did a lot of the sound effects for Doom2, citing the Revenant punch sound which he chose to be intentionally humorous.
