The Icon of Sin
news
The legendary game developer, Jordan Mechner, has published his GRAPHIC NOVEL memoir and it’s really great! I love his artwork and it goes into his family history and all the way through his FOUR DECADES in the game industry (Karateka, Prince of Persia, The Last Express, etc.)

SIGIL has been out for a while now. I uploaded the free version on May 31, 2019. Many YouTube playthrough videos have been uploaded and the response has been good. I had a great team of DOOM technicians helping me make sure all the data was as good as possible. Even though DOOM is 25 years old, every single line segment in a level has a bunch of information on it. Most levels have hundreds if not thousands of line segments in them, so it’s a lot of tech checking.
The awesome team includes dew (Boris Klimes), flambeau, UberGewei, and Keyboard_Doomer – they put up with my work start at about midnight most nights. We have a great Slack channel where we discuss all the tech stuff happening with the latest fixes. SIGIL is up to v1.21 now and it might not see another revision. It’s pretty good now. I toned down the crushers on E5M4, so maybe no more whining. :)
Anyway, the SIGIL experience was really good and I’m excited about what might be next….
If you want to download SIGIL, you can get it here for free:
Also, you might not know this, but we are selling some SIGIL merchandise on the Romero Games site. Check out the evil items here:
The SIGIL update as of today is that we have all the various parts of the package together and they will be boxed up over the weekend. Satan willing, they will be shipping to customers next week! Here are some photos of the goods.
I just wanted to update you on SIGIL. There were a few snags in production trying to make sure everything is top-notch for fans! I just wanted to let everyone who purchased either the Big Box or the Beast Box know that it is now looking like it will ship sometime in April. Thank you for your patience, and I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. This also means the free version of SIGIL will have to wait until after the boxes are in the hands of customers.
EDIT: If you email info@romerogames.com and tell us that you missed the SIGIL box ordering window we will enter you in the list of people who want to order. We cannot guarantee that we can help get you a box, and it will most likely be more expensive than it was during the ordering window.
