Development

According to a Doomworld interview with Joel Huenink in 1998, development on All Hell is Breaking Loose began in December 1995.[1] 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. [2] Mike Gummelt conceptualized the new weapon and enemy behavior, partially implementing the DeHackEd patch. Ted completed the work for final release. [3]
