After a construct of Duke Nukem Without end from 2001 was leaked earlier this yr, a modder cohort now calling themselves Mighty Foot Productions shortly assembled to tackle the duty of reconstructing Duke Nukem Without end because it may need been in a greater timeline. They’re constructing on the framework of the leaked model, which was an unfinished construct made to demo at E3, and the outcome appears lots just like the sort of low-budget retro shooter a small studio may make at present. In a great way.
In response to the newest replace, “Present progress has been targeted on ending the polish for the primary chapter of the sport, ‘Excessive Stakes, Girl Killer’ and dealing on a plethora of render and engine fixes alike; with many main and small fixes already developed, similar to a correct ‘hair repair’ and progress on a wholly new renderer for the sport in DirectX® 9. A lot of the content material seen within the E3 trailers and promotional materials for the sport have been restored, with an all-new story being developed by a narrative workforce to bridge the gaps between what we all know in regards to the sport and what we do not.”
That first chapter is ready in a on line casino whose opening night time, to be attended by the President and in addition one Mr. Dukolas Nukemton [check this – Ed.], has been interrupted in violent style. Anticipate an entire lot of neon lights, a showy Las Vegas skyline, and gunfights round a swimming pool and throughout a rooftop. It is a Duke Nukem sport in any case, you gotta have a rooftop battle. And a few secrets and techniques.
This primary slice of the Duke Nukem Without end Restoration Venture will embody a map editor and deathmatch mode. There can be 12 weapons for Duke to play with together with pipe bombs, laser tripbombs, a freeze cannon, a flame thrower, and the venerable mighty foot itself alongside extra typical choices just like the pistol, shotgun, and a plain outdated machine gun. There’s additionally a riot protect, and a visible comparability (opens in new tab) with the leak confirmed they had been retaining the bike sequence in order that’s one thing to look ahead to.
The enemies embody numerous zombified civilians with alien parasites bursting out of them and regular-looking cops, although there is a transient glimpse of pig cops as nicely. This is hoping for extra alien enemies somewhat than simply dudes with weapons.
We’ll have an opportunity to strive it for ourselves when the primary slice is obtainable to obtain on December 21. Take a look at the challenge’s web page on ModDB (opens in new tab) for extra.
