Id Software

id Software was the creative force that made Doom. In particular, the members of id Software (some of whom are not necessarily part of the team anymore) that were responsible were:

• Programmers
  • John Carmack
  • Michael Abrash
  • John Romero
  • Dave Taylor

• Art
  
  • Adrian Carmack
  • Kevin Cloud

• Biz
  • Jay Wilbur

• Design
  • Sandy Petersen
  • John Romero
  • American McGee
  • Shawn Green

Special thanks are also granted to Tim Willits and John Anderson, who helped by making maps for the the fourth episode of Doom, Thy Flesh Consumed. Tom Hall, although uncredited, also helped significantly as a mapper before leaving id.

The "id" in id Software is said to refer to a component of the human psyche, the force motivated by pleasure and greed alone, the dark side behind many of humanity's common drives.
