Development
According to a Doomworld interview with Joel Huenink in 1998, development on All Hell is Breaking Loose began in December 1995. The project's Doom file template text file indicates the build time covered a period of 10 months and required 2-to-6 hour days by Joel. Brothers Chris and Michael Niggel collaborated to re-purpose an in-progress map to use All Hell's custom assets and submitted it to Joel for his approval. Mike Gummelt conceptualized the new weapon and enemy behavior, partially implementing the DeHackEd patch. Ted completed the work for final release.
