A new Kickstarter campaign from Night Work Games for BLACKROOM reveals the recently teased plans for a new first-person shooter from John Romero and Adrian Carmack (no relation to John Carmack), two of the id Software cofounders who helped create DOOM and QUAKE. They are seeking $750K to make what they call "a visceral, action-packed FPS set in a holographic simulation gone rogue." Here's more on the plan:
