Duke Nukem Forever 2001 Build Discussion

Fun fact: What these crazy people say isn't what the team is after. The dev team split after the original server admin went nutso, so now we're on a separate server to do our work peacefully.

ZERO, I repeat ZERO modern day politics shit will be included. We've had entire hours long discussions on it, and it's not gonna make the cut. We're sticking to the OG 2001 vibes and style.

Also, this tranny isn't even on the dev team lmao
Thanks for the update fren, your words are reassuring.

Btw, were you guys involved in that new 4K trailer?
 
The original server admin went nutso how?

and is there anyone in the original discord thats likely to do any actual work on anything or is just larping troons and randos left?

more to the point though are you taking any steps to make sure this new discord isn't just going to befall the same problems?
Basically he went power mad a few days into the project, and started making people mods just because they did "spicy takes" (I.E saying nigger once). He then kicked a pretty valuable team member off for no good reason. After that, the kicked team member got in contact with us, made a separate server, then got us back to work, and even boosted our numbers.

As for work, I think a status update is in order:

-Dr. Proton is now 100% in the game, after some consideration. He's gonna have an aesthetic I think Duke fans will fucking love.

-Dukes lines have all been recorded. The guy who did them was fucking amazing, super glad we had him onboard.

-Several new, but fitting to the setting and plot enemies have been conceptualized. Late game is gonna have a surprise for Duke 3D players, and it's not the Deja Vu mission.

-VS22 support is nearly finished; when it's done, a whole new world of access will be complete. Progress will fucking FLY when we get VS22 working. Should take a couple of days, maybe even less considering how hard our programmers have been working lol.

As for concerns of getting ruined, have no fear. Everybody on the team is dead set on this being as apolitical as possible; we just want to make a fun Duke experience, one we were cheated out of all those years ago. No tranny shit, references to current politics, anything of the sort will be allowed. We even frequently mock Fallout the Frontier for it's weird shit, so don't worry about trannies and stuff infiltrating. We're all here to make all Duke fans a good game, after 21 fuckin' years.

Will there be pop culture references from 00 in DNF?

Awesome update, thanks a ton!

Question about game performance - does UE1 handle multiple cores efficiently? are you guys planning on making performance adjustments that can apply to both old 2001 hardware as well as new hardware?

Also, I remember reading something about DukeEd not working for some reason, does the editor work now?

After going through the entire leak well over a week or so ago, I can see why some at 3d realms said the 2001 trailer was nothing but piece meal ideas. There might be a few assets and concepts here or there, but so so soooooo much is missing. It will need a lot of manpower of artists, animators, designers, mappers, programmers, sound designers, ect ect. Unless of course the 2002 version is somehow leaked as well.

I have my doubts, extreme doubts, these types of projects of this massive scale tend to either peter out over time due being hobby "do it for free" work or some massive drama occurs during development. There's a graveyard of total conversion mods out there that date back to the late 90's that end abruptly. Even a remake of Half-Life 1 in Source took over 15 years to complete and that was on top of additional early access funding that went on for 4 years on Steam.

However, you seem level head and passionate, so I wish the best of luck to you. If progress keeps going in the next few months, I may offer to help if I have the time to do so.

Holy crap that was quick! You managed to write and record all of Douk's dialogue already? Don't suppose you have any other openings as far as VA stuff goes?

Good luck lads.

We still need somebody to voice the president, alongside any other baddies/characters Duke comes across. It'll happen later in time when the Chapter 1 demo comes out soon, so the recognition for our efforts should be rewarded soon enough.

This one is for the Mr. Enters in the chat but will the game mention 9/11?

Are you hiring actual VAs or just talented people you know?

Could you put in MY suggestion to the Discord and tell me what they say?
 
More than likely not. We're working at this from the perspective of "9/11 didn't/hasn't happened". Plus, would a 9/11 reference REALLY fit in a Duke Nukem game?
If it did come out after 9/11, I'm certain a few lines of dialogue, mission sequences or even set pieces would be edited if they hit too close to 9/11 territory. Many games and movies released around 2001 have done that.

You'd be better off just avoiding that can of worms.
 
I give it two weeks before the project goes to shit with some pedo furry inserting his fetishes into it.

Seriously I hope it goes well.

Great to read all of this, honestly. I still haven't really touched the series(was a Doom kid)but I plan to soon and I've been interested in the original DNF build ever since Civvie11 showed it off in the video he made. Glad I'll be able to experience this alongside the rest of the franchise's good games when I get to it.

You still have the furry fag. Boot him now.

Copypasta from /v/ follows

>DNF Restoration Project team has been made along with the discord server
>over 100 people working on the project but only two devs are ACTUALLY working on it while the rest just throws ideas and call it a day
>someone on /v/ asks if the team has pronouns
>someone enters the server and it turns out the team is FULL of trans and furries including one of the lead modders
>shitflinging breaks out
>someone on /v/ goes to the server and mocks the lead modder by saying he looks like Shrek (hence the term Shrek-kun)
>modder unironically goes on a fury frenzy and starts defending and samefagging like crazy while everyone just replies with the lyrics of All-Star by Smash Mouth
>lead dev steps in on discord and /v/ saying he wont add any modern politics or jokes into it
>Discord server infighting erupted and mods are fighting each other and then forced the lead dev to concede
>then the lead dev goes on /v/ and says "bro its fine you can just edit it out" and gets called out for being a pussy
>lead dev in his infinite glory admits that he always hated the Duke IP but he wanted to work on it cuz its a legendary leak
>Discord goes private because everything they're saying was getting leaked on /v/
>more infighting ensures while Shrek-kun is spamming trying to defend and samefag for his project and ends up getting banned multiple times
>lead dev presumably said he made a new server without all the trannies
>new Private server list showed up
>turned out he still kept the furry that started the shitstorm
>developer insists that the furfag is disciplined and he wouldnt cause issues again
>Shrek-kun proceeds to damage control again and then attempts to memoryhole it all by saying its just schizoposting and that it never happened despite the archives
>then a new github repo was made and it is literally about duke nukem saying trans rights as a function
>and it was made by the VERY SAME FURFAG that the developer kept defending
>more shitflinging and this time nobody has faith anymore
>developer didnt even know this happened until it was too late
>quits the project and apologizes to everyone for not removing the furfag
>entire project is now run by a furfag and a lead dev that hates Duke Nukem
>lead dev wakes up and finds out about all the disaster happening
>tries to get rid of the furfag but the rest of the team rejected the vote
>lead dev leaves the project along with another programmer
>project team trying to figure out who's still leaking the discord screencaps and started a literal witchhunt among themselves
>then they find out they had no control over the github repo
>turns out someone locked them out and then outright leaked the entire build they were working in
>turns out they were pozzing the shit out of the game including removing all sexual content and duke's one liners
>team decided to create a third server to damage control further while shrek-kun still shitposts and samefag on /v/
>the furfag is STILL NOT REMOVED
>bunch of coder and programmer anons witnessing the disaster are banding together to at least attempt a mod without using discord
>project team then tried to feign death by saying the project's dead so that they can work in secret which didnt work out since plan got leaked instantly
>one of their leading programmers and the github admin leaves the team out of frustration
>they still havent kicked out yasha the retarded furfag at this point
>lead dev role shifted again but this time they finally kicked out Yasha despite the damage already done
>then begs for the old lead dev to come back which he said he wouldnt unless progress was made
>there are multiple split projects all working on their own tangent now due to the infighting
>F4NV team used the entire shitshow as an example of how NOT to fuck up a project
>Shrek-kun comes back and does another round of damage control and telling everyone that none of this happened
>project team still begs for everyone to stop coming to 4chan since damage controlling does nothing
>former lead dev comes back to 4chan and admits that the team should have removed the retards when they got the chance instead of just denying everything
>another new community server was made and that already went to shit when a VA fought with the server admin
>YOU ARE HERE

Check /v/ every once in a while btw guys. The restoration is never coming out but those retard devs keep digging the whole deeper with more bullshit and same-fagging. The meltdowns are hilarious.
