You may not be very familiar with seeing interviews in the EvilCast space, but we are always willing to make exceptions when it comes to talking to some of the great minds in game design.  So who would have enough pull to make us deviate from our usual publishing schedule? How about an industry luminary by the name of John Carmack? That’s right, the man behind such franchises as Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, and the upcoming Rage, sat down with EvilCast host Blake Grundman, to discuss the recent release of Doom Classic on the iPhone.

Don’t worry though, the discussion was not limited to the iPhone and covered a wide variety of topics including:

• His views on both iPhone and traditional game development
• What made him reconsider his stance on developing cellphone games
• Which platforms he prefers to develop for
• Surprises associated with developing games for iPhone
• Does he have a favorite game that he has worked on
• What kinds of games does he like to play in his free time
• Does his son have any idea how influential he has been on the game industry
• How does he manage to stay relevant after all of these years
• Even commenting on his role in the current development of both Rage and Doom 4

We cover all of that and much, much, more in the first installment of the EvilCast NewsBrief, Interview Series.  Don’t miss it!
