Hello again, Dukers! We've added some new scans to the site today, including new fan and concept art images. We've got Micki to thank for hooking us up with two uber rare pages of DNF concepts and interview found in an unknown C++ Programming book:

Bet you didn't see those before! However, keep in mind they're very old and outdated. To top it off, here are the new fan art drawings from Micki:


Also, you may now directly access PC Gamer's short April 2005 article about DNF, using our Press Release page.

We've randomly decided to put up a new poll, which means the old one will be closed and archived. Here are the final results (614 votes) from the first poll:

Think we'll see DNF media this year?

Yes!

40.88% [251 votes]
No.

59.12% [363 votes]

You pessimist bastards... Check out the new poll and tell us about your DNF system!

In today's 1UP.com Prey Interview, George Broussard was kind enough to spill some beans on the whereabouts of DNF's development.

GB: You know, we've been so busy on Duke Forever for so long that we can't really see past just finishing this game, but you never can tell when it's done, you know, what you want to work on next.



1UP: Wait, wait. You guys are working on Duke Forever?



GB: [Laughs] And ever and ever.



1UP: And when's that due out again?



GB: [Laughs] I think it'll be out when pigs fly. But it's definitely going well now. Things are together; we're in full production. We're basically just pulling all the pieces together and making the game out of it. There's a lot that's finished. All the guns are finished. Most of the creatures are finished. And as I said, we're just basically pulling it all together and trying to make it fun. We've kind of got all these disassociated elements that make up a game, and you put them together and things happen. And then you just tweak it and polish it until it's fun, and that's kind of the phase we're in now, just trying to make something that is really fun to play and interesting.

Thanks George!

Ten years ago, the Duke Nukem 3D shareware was released. To celebrate this I thought I should release something; therefore a Beta version of a little mod Hellbound and I have been working on for the HRP is now available on the download page. The idea behind this mod is to fix things like the turning corpse of the Assault Commander, and add new effects and small gameplay tweaks. The mod will be included in future HRP releases, but since it is a mod it will still be possible to play vanilla Duke with the HRP.



In this beta version the monsters have pains kins and improved gore (like in the gore mod released on the 3DR message board), proper freezing with unique models for the frozen monsters, plus a bunch of other small changes.



Since this mod is very much in early stages, feedback on the effects such as "Too much gore, that looks stupid, could you add ," etc. would be valuable. Suggestions and comments should be mailed to me (parkar at hrp.planetduke.gamespy.com).

3D Realms forum member A.K. is starting a new Duke Nukem animated series this year, where Duke, the Doom marine, and Commander Keen join together to go on different comical adventures in each episode.

"StrifeToons" is an animated series that I'm starting this year, following the adventures of Duke Nukem, Commander Keen, and Doom Marine (AKA the Doom Guy) and other computer game characters from the era of shareware.



More episodes will be on the StrifeStrips site when they're done, hopefully at a rate of at least one a month! This episode took just under two weeks to make from scratch.



Suggestions for storylines/ideas/cameos, and new voice acting talent are welcome. Discuss them here or on the StrifeToons.com forums!

The Alien TC, a game modification for Duke Nukem 3D, has been under development for a little below a year under the supervision of RustWell Productions. By working with the Eduke32 source mod, Mblackwell and Rusty Nails have been able to design a demo based on the Alien vs. Predator movie that surpasses the original Half-Life in terms of gameplay and technology. Tonight we bring you an exclusive teaser trailer of this impressive shooter, available for download only on Duke4.net:

Download ATCD Teaser - 9.84 MBThe demo, which is planned for release within three to six months from now, features moving temple architecture, dynamic light and object interaction, intense alien encounters, original models and weapons based on the AvP movie, interactive cutscenes to build the story, advanced particle and environmental effects, and much more. To give you some idea of the kind of machine you'll need to run this baby, we've confirmed with Mblackwell that it will run at 60-80 frames per second at 1152x864 on a GeForce FX 5200. For more information on this work of art, head on over to the Official ATC Homepage.

All of us here at Duke4.net would like to wish everyone a safe and happy new year. Will 2006 be the year that Duke returns? We'll see! Here's a celebration gift drawn by Micki and colored by Kev_Hectic. Happy 2006!!

Tonight we actually have some interesting news to report on Duke Nukem Forever. Yes, this is official news that is relevant to the game--it has not been covered before, either. George Broussard was kind enough to throw us a bone over at the official DNF forums:

The Frederick: So you've followed Halo's lead and given the "grenades" their own button? Sweet. That was always one of my biggest disappointments about Doom 3, I never used grenades because I didn't like switching to them.



GB: Yeah. What we did was that if you just throw out a Pipe Bomb via the quick key, it goes out and detonates in a few seconds. If you want to throw it out and use the trigger, then you select it using the normal weapons interface.



We assume that if you are throwing a bomb out via the quick key, you really want it to go off, quickly.



So this enables you to toss out a few, quickly, in high stress situations, or throw one out via the weapon selection and be more sneaky about it.

There you have it folks! Until next time.
