Duke 6:8
« on: July 31, 2010, 06:32:31 PM »
After four months of chipping away it's roughly 40% done. Here's afew crappy screenshots. It's still heavy wip, so all I have to show right now is basically a shell.

Damn what a nice dam :P  You´re improving your skills with every project you start -unlike some little fucks that just improve their way to invent excuses for ripping stuff- I wish i would be usefull to help you recognizing some weak points on your design. You know you make some locations with a mix awesome stuff and noob mistakes. For example, the boat you put there looks very bland compared with its surrounding. It lacks of a proper texture choice and shading. Just to make an example. So, catch me on msn or email if you think i can help. This has to be within the next 45 days because after that i will be dead without internet for a long long time (maybe forever). ah my third son just born  :)

He said it is "heavy WIP" so I'm assuming he plans to detail the boat later.

Well, i have my doubts because that´s the same boat with which his previous level ends. Maybe he leaves it as it for consistency reasons.

That boat texture, unfortunately, stays due to consistency from the last map. It will get a facelift and shaded when it's time to go back through and tighten up all the loose ends and fix the bugs.

I appreciate the offer because you are a damn fine technical adviser, but by the time it's even close to being ready for a look, you'll be long off the network.

It's for the best because you should be concentrating on finishing your project.

Is your third son's first or middle name name going to be "Gambini"?

Congrats on the baby, a few more and you can have your own soccer team.  (Y)

The thing is, I will probably get distracted by something else so it would had been cool it it was another duke nukem project, like this one. Keep the work up, maybe i´m still around (or already back) when it´s ready for betatesting.

Thanks for the congrats, he doesn´t got the name gambini but the name of some famous russian prince instead  ;D

Don't get distracted!

At least send what you have to a few people you can trust to keep it to themselves if you can't finish before you disappear.

At the current rate I'll be ready for beta-testing around November. This may end up being a Christmas release.

Nickolas? That's the only Russian prince I can think of off the top of my head. Good name for a goalie.  (Y)


Thanks to those who gave some ups and constructive criticism (both of you  :D ).

Great screens Forge, especially the last one! Not too sure about the texture you chose for the pillars though, it looks a little messy to me. Those spriteworks kick ass though.  (Y)

lol. i never saw that movie in english so i guess i would had never understand how good that joke was. Also, seeing Chevy Chase´s cousin is there, it´s surely the Las Vegas movie, and so it´s the same damn dam featured in Duke Nukem Forever! Well now that i checked if i was writting chevy chase´s name properly i noticed his name also means a chevy´s chase lolol!

Ivan's a name for a forward. Name the next one Nickolas.  ;)

It's my thread and you don't hear me bitchin' about being off topic. I'm just as much off topic as you.


Thanks for the ups ZE & Magic Man. I'll re-look at that pillar texture when I go back through for clean-up and detailing.

Might as well call it alpha-stage reached. Need to texture/shade/detail the last area, then add aliens & supplies to it.

Should be beta ready within the next few weeks
