I am pleased to announce that the 'Game Engine Black Book: DOOM' has been translated to Korean. It will be called 게임 엔진 블랙 북: 둠. An occasion for me to learn that my name in korean is written 파비앙 상글라르.
This project started last year in late 2020 when, I was told by Hanbit Media that the Korean version of the 'Game Engine Black Book: Wolfenstein 3D had been well-received. The sales number were good enough to green light a translation of the DOOM book.
Fast forward six months, the book has just been released. It features the same "French Prince of Persia" game box theme that was gifted to the WOLF book, except this time with silver colors. I guess if I ever write the "Game Engine Black Book: Quake', it will have to be bronze.
Once again, I want to tip my hat to the publisher. Hanbit Media did a decent job of dealing with the "peculiar" typesetting. They were a lot of floating illustrations which made the adaptation a really difficult task.
Also thanks to the translator, Jae Ho Park, who did not stop at the text since he also took the time to translate the hundreds of drawings.
