Initially lacking any code from id, the company's programmers Bryon Nilsson and Matt Hopwood proceeded to produce their own custom 3D graphics engine for the Game Boy Advance over the course of nine months, and according to David Palmer, it was around 95% complete, needing only additional optimization to hit the 30 frames-per-second mark.
However, by that point, the Game Boy Advance had been released and was significantly more capable than its predecessor, so the project was re-targeted. John Carmack and Activision suggested that they instead develop a port of Commander Keen for the system, which proved successful enough to earn them the contract they originally desired.
