Nugget Doom is a source port forked from Woof! by Alan Ruzich, alias Alaux. It seeks to include additional quality-of-life improvements over its parent port, primarily taken from Crispy Doom. Aside from these improvements, it maintains a high level of similarity with Woof!.

History

Nugget Doom started life as a PWAD called Ramm (Doomworld forums thread), an unfinished megawad for limit-removing source ports that utilizes a DeHackEd patch for changes to monsters and weapons. By way of experimenting, Alaux decided to implement the functionality of the patch into a fork of the Crispy Doom source code in order to turn Ramm into a standalone game. This fork was called IRamm, with the I standing for internal, as in IWAD.

Later on, the decision was made to turn IRamm into a more general source port fork, changing the name to Nugget Doom in the process. Ruzich attempted to implement Boom and MBF support for this fork initially before realizing it would be better to use a codebase that already had support for these features. Thus the Woof!-based and current version of Nugget Doom was born. The Crispy fork got rebranded, as Nugget Doom LR with LR standing for limit-removing.

Both IRamm and Nugget Doom LR have been discontinued, but are still available for download.

Trivia

• Ruzich came up with the name Nugget Doom literally after eating a chicken nugget.
  • A nugget is regarded as having a crisp bite, a reference to the port it was based upon (Crispy Doom). The current logo reflects this.
