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 these improvements, it maintains a high level of similarity with Woof!.

History

Nugget Doom started life as a PWAD for Vanilla Doom called Ramm, a megawad in progress utilizing a DeHacked patch to change monsters and weapons. By way of experimenting, the author decided to replicate 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 the decision was made to turn IRamm into a more general fork, calling it Nugget Doom in the process. Ruzich attempted to implement Boom and MBF support to this fork before realizing it would be better off to use a codebase that already had support for the features of these ports. Thus the Woof!-based and current version of Nugget Doom was made. 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 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.
