His main focus is spriting and art. "WolfTC for Doomsday" project led by Vermil gradually led him to join DHW Forum to focus mainly on Wolfenstein 3D modding, Since he released many known Wolf3D mods as a leading member of Team RayCast, creating and maintaining "Team RayCast modding forum" for Wolf3D mods development, later also creating "Team Raycast" discord server.

Nick origins and meaning[]

First DoomJedi avatar
LFLPA0x7


The nick "DoomJedi" was chosen while registering on NewDoom forum (largest Doom forum at the time) and seeing that all normal nicks were already taken. It mixes the love for Doom (trying registering to a Doom forum) and being a fan of "StarWars" saga. Since the nick was kept on all platforms for consistency and being recognized. Early avatar depicted a screen of Quake 3 DoomGuy (with DoomJedi's face pasted over) over last area of Doom's E1M9 in Doomsday port with a lightsaber drawn in his hand. Current avatar has a Wolf3D Boss-base edit of Doomguy with a lightsaber, which can reflect his evolution from Doom to Wolf3D modding.
