Miller was later instrumental in the formation of publisher Gathering of Developers in 1998. The series was a success enabling id Software to become an independent studio. It was at this time that Miller contacted key members at Softdisk (a monthly software magazine delivered on floppy disks to subscribers) who later formed id Software, and convinced them to make Commander Keen to be released through Apogee. Kingdom of Kroz, in 1987, was the first game to use this method, which Miller refers to as the 'Apogee Model.' Upon success with this model with the seven Kroz episodes, Miller left his full-time job in early 1990s and devoted full efforts into growing Apogee. The free episode is the carrot-on-a-stick an advertisement to purchase the remaining, commercial episodes. He created the method of game distribution where one episode of a game is released freely as shareware, and the follow-up episodes are sold through the company. Miller started as game programmer, but now handled primary business duties of 3D Realms, as well as producing and co-designing all third-party games associated with the company, including Wolfenstein 3D, Raptor: Call of the Shadows, Terminal Velocity, Max Payne and Prey. He wrote several MS-DOS games that circulated widely on BBS file bases: Computer Quiz, Astronomy Quiz, BASIC Quiz, Beyond the Titanic, Supernova, Kingdom of Kroz, Word Whiz, Trek Trivia. Miller began writing video games in 1975 on a Wang 2200 while living in Australia. Growing up, Miller lived with his father, Boyd Miller, an engineer at NASA who worked on the Apollo and Gemini programs. Competitors such as Epic MegaGames later adopted the same business model.

This method became the standard distribution method for Apogee. Starting with the Kroz series for MS-DOS from that year, Miller pioneered the concept of giving away the first game in a trilogy-distributed freely as shareware-with the opportunity to purchase the remaining two episodes.
