492
00:22:13.965 --> 00:22:15.945
<00:22:13.965>At <00:22:14.105>this <00:22:14.245>point, <00:22:14.385>we <00:22:14.524>knew <00:22:14.665>that <00:22:14.804>we <00:22:14.945>were <00:22:15.084>in <00:22:15.225>the <00:22:15.365>lead.

493
00:22:16.155 --> 00:22:18.185
<00:22:16.155>There <00:22:16.355>would <00:22:16.555>be <00:22:16.754>no <00:22:16.955>games <00:22:17.155>with <00:22:17.355>newer <00:22:17.555>tech

00:22:18.285 --> 00:22:20.065
<00:22:18.285>and <00:22:18.518>better <00:22:18.751>design <00:22:18.985>creeping <00:22:19.218>up <00:22:19.451>behind <00:22:19.685>us.

495
00:22:20.235 --> 00:22:22.425
<00:22:20.235>We're <00:22:20.435>building <00:22:20.635>something <00:22:20.834>we <00:22:21.034>had <00:22:21.235>never <00:22:21.435>seen <00:22:21.635>before.

496
00:22:24.125 --> 00:22:26.825
<00:22:24.125>So <00:22:24.300>we <00:22:24.475>first <00:22:24.650>started <00:22:24.825>feeling <00:22:25.000>invincible <00:22:25.175>just <00:22:25.350>after <00:22:25.525>Wolf

497
00:22:26.825 --> 00:22:28.025

00:22:28.025 --> 00:22:30.305
<00:22:28.025>and <00:22:28.305>Doom's <00:22:28.585>development <00:22:28.865>really <00:22:29.145>reinforced <00:22:29.425>it.

499
00:22:30.605 --> 00:22:33.265
<00:22:30.605>The <00:22:30.780>invention <00:22:30.955>of <00:22:31.130>the <00:22:31.305>BSP <00:22:31.480>three <00:22:31.655>was <00:22:31.830>desperately <00:22:32.005>needed.

500
00:22:33.325 --> 00:22:35.025
<00:22:33.325>So <00:22:33.675>Carmack, <00:22:34.025>uh, <00:22:34.375>did <00:22:34.725>it.

501
00:22:35.025 --> 00:22:36.785
<00:22:35.025>Based <00:22:35.375>on <00:22:35.725>Bruce <00:22:36.075>Nail's <00:22:36.425>research

504
00:22:45.035 --> 00:22:46.335
<00:22:45.035>so <00:22:45.269>they <00:22:45.503>didn't <00:22:45.737>really <00:22:45.971>look <00:22:46.205>great.

505
00:22:47.435 --> 00:22:48.655

507
00:22:53.935 --> 00:22:56.035
<00:22:53.935>We <00:22:54.168>removed <00:22:54.401>several <00:22:54.635>elements <00:22:54.868>that <00:22:55.101>didn't <00:22:55.335>matter.

508
00:22:56.095 --> 00:22:59.315
<00:22:56.095>We <00:22:56.250>said <00:22:56.406>goodbye <00:22:56.561>to <00:22:56.717>the <00:22:56.872>concepts <00:22:57.028>of <00:22:57.183>lives <00:22:57.339>and <00:22:57.495>score.
