d’s John Carmack has proclaimed that work on the Rage engine is almost finished.
“We have very few things that are very significant left to be done [to the technology],” he said. “We are ‘light at the end of the tunnel,’ going into the home stretch.”
Carmack noted that a change in the animation system will be implemented soon, along with a couple of tweaks to the MegaTexture system, but that most of the work has been done. They began work on the engine three years ago.
“Here we are, three years later, still working on elements of it,” he said, noting that he has spent most of his time working on Rage.
Carmack added that most of Rage will be carried over to Doom 4 where they plan to focus more on level design and other creative aspects.
