No this isn\'t a rant about how long DNF is taking. I\'m making a little fan game for fun.

Just so its 100% Clear, this is a fan game project, by me and has absolutely no direct connections with 3dRealms/Apogee. This game will be 100% free. Duke Nukem is owned by 3dRealms/Apogee.

With that said, I can now tell you all about my little game. Just over a month ago, I released a little engine called STX001. I said I\'d use it to make my next game and now I\'ve finally done enough work to make it public. My game\'s working title is Duke Nukem: Waiting for Forever.

from the OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Whell, right now there isn\'t really much to say about this game. It is of course built on top of the STX001 engine. And it is, to my knowledge, the very first Duke Nukem fan game that ever was. =D Check out the very early, very raw, sneak peek demo.

Right now, nothing is set in stone. The story line, enemies, characters, vehicles and weapons haven\'t been tied down yet. But you can be sure that we\'ll open with Duke on the set of a popular talk show (only it\'ll be a future Dr Phil rather than a future Oprah (a la Duke2)).

Babes and big explosions are also planned.

please visit the site for screenshots, concept art and the sneak peek demo.

as you can imagine, making a game, even if it\'s just a little fan game, is a huge task. I\'m looking for people to help me with sprite art, tile art, background art, sound effects and music. any bit of help, no matter how small will be greatly appreciated.

I have the strange feeling (see i spelled it right

) that the fan game will be out first

Pretty neat. The shielded soldiers are a pain in the butt. Also, where\'s the sniper rifle? I would much prefer to use that. No bugs found so far

The third demo download didn\'t work for me.

« **Reply #11 on:** September 16, 2003, 06:22:37 AM »

whell it\'s most definatley up there.. and the link \'taint broken.. =/ that third one is really important to me, I need opinions on the rocket launcher. need to tweak its strength and the shockwave that comes with every explosion! I canna tweak eeeiiitt without a wide set of opinions.

« **Reply #12 on:** September 17, 2003, 04:27:13 PM »

Well, the rocket launcher fires too far, but it also tracks too far.

You can hit comps waaaay far away, which is fine, but I got targeted by a comp up high, retreated about 4 screens, and his missles were still coming constantly... once he had locked on, I couldn\'t get away

« **Reply #13 on:** September 18, 2003, 05:30:00 AM »

them missles are smart. the locking mechanism is actually built into the misile rather than the object that fired it. see the object that fired it.. or the caster.. only provides the target, the missle takes note and just fall towards it.

for the player, the target is just the crosshair.. but for the comps.. you\'re the actual target.

I\'ll fix this little niggle by forcing it to disengage if you\'ve run far enough. Or mabye shorten the missle\'s lifespan. You see, if you\'ve evaded a missle for long enough, it\'ll explode. One way to do this is to run away, of course. But you can also just sort of stand still... if you do it right, the missle will orbit you.

I actually didn\'t intend this to happen. It\'s just a little side effect of the gravity routine I used for the tracking.

I won\'t take that off cuz I think its kewl.

Okay, a new Sneak Peek Demo is up. Its got:
-new weapons, (LZR666, Sheepaliser)
-sheep!! =D
-entirely new level.
-new front end menu.
-new incline climbing code (for the mech and people)
-slightly improved backgrounds.
-a new fire ready indicator for the HUD.

Tell me what you think, so I can tweak the game play.
Still looking for help in the art department too.
