FULL INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqliqH_SOzU Tim Willits was hired at id Software in 1995 after creating & distributing his own custom Doom maps over the internet. All PvP online games today owe their lineage to the works of Tim & his colleagues from id Software where the concept of “deathmatch” was born. Fast forward to 2019 when Tim left the company with the entire Doom & Quake series under his belt, he is now the Chief Creative Officer at Saber Interactive. Tim spends his days now overseeing the many projects of Saber’s team across the globe, but still makes time for painting his Star Wars figurines.
