So what happened to Blackroom? I'd love to know what happened to that game and the fallout of them pulling the Kickstarter. He clearly moved on to sigil but man I really think he could make a cool new IP with gzdoom if he actually tried, instead of just living in the past with sigil.

I think Selaco beat him to the punch there. I am by no means a game designer but it's seriously impressive what they did with the gzdoom engine. I have a hard time imaging anything that could top it within the same engine.
