id Software’s John Carmack has promised that the long-awaited modding tools for 2011′s Rage are still in the works.

When asked by a fan on Twitter what had happened to the tools he said that work on the BFG Edition of Doom 3 had meant that the tools had been delayed, but promised that they were still on the way.

“BFG work pushed the Rage tools, but Real Soon Now. I hope. Sigh. I think we have made poor decisions on this all year,” he wrote on Twitter.
