Raytrace works fine for me. But god damn the rendering takes for ever! And it's even stencil shadows!

Am I doing it right?

Rygar (NES) - Probably has the most frustrating and monotone boss-battles I've encountered in a platformer. Once you start bashing on the boss's, you will never see your loved ones again (until your thumbs break). The boss's does the exact same attack at the exact same intervals, and with a wee bit of training you can time its attacks and kill it without a problem .. oh wait, your fingers break before it dies, since it takes so much hits it is out of this world. And this was just the first boss...

RC Pro AM (NES) - Dandy little racing-game with RC-cars. It's sort of enjoyable ... until ... the brown opponent car suddenly gets a massive speedboost and does a whole lap before you even have made it halfway. And keeps going like that and you lose hard. The only way you can reset it is by disabling the opponent for a short moment (rocket, oilslick, invincibility, etc).

Star Wars (NES) - No, just no. Why am I forced to play through a retarded cave-level at the beginning of the game, where there are spikes and acid, and you die horribly by this! When I was a kid and got this game, I couldn't get passed this very first level until a miracle happened, but already by then I have taken out the cartrigde and smashed a hole in it due to frustration overflow. Suprisingly, the force was strong in this one and it still worked. After going through the entire book of cursewords, I got to the level where you drive the Millenium Failcon through an asteroid-field. Here, I launched my entire supply of F-bombs. In the movie, the field was just a fart in space against the spaceship, but in the game it's vicious armor-eating asteroids that you have time 100% to avoid, which is near impossible after you've been pumped up with anger from the previous 100 tries.

Red Steel (Wii) - 10 fps , 'nuff said.

To be continued...

Someone has to dress up as a Red Spy and sneak up on it with a sapper made out of an old radio and wires with suction-cups!

All these desktop wallpapers are soooo 2007....

We won't sleep well tonight...

Last Saturday we had our annual company Christmas party. It was a lot o fun as usual but it featured one special surprise. It turns out that several people had been secretly working late nights and into the wee hours of the morning preparing a special video for those at the party. They created a short teaser for Duke Nukem Forever.After seeing the teaser we thought it was something we should share with all of you and while it's just a teaser, rest assured more is coming.

Tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th, around noon CST, we will release the first teaser trailer from Duke Nukem Forever. To tide you over until then, here is a screen shot taken from the teaser.

Thank you for being fans of the game and for your continued patience.

I'd like to thank the people on the team that worked so hard to create this teaser and the friends of 3DR that helped create it (Jeremy Soule and Julian Soule, Frank Bry, Jason Evigan and of course, Jon St. John).

10 years of silence, so I guess they want to go out with a bang.

I know you worked long and hard and long on it, but... it doesn't look good. I miss the old mapcore look.Edit: YUSSS, I'm finally a featured artist!

Just let Mojo swing his mojo around and soon enough it'll be better~

Obligatory "FIRST" post.

Ok, this is a bit different .. what have you done to our precious forums?! D:

And I notice random people got "Spotlight Member"...

That's a level, not a model or anything. The only "models" in the old Duke3D engine are sprites.

Your Hammer is showing lowres textures then.

What can we learn from this?

A) Greenpeace, you're a disgrace to 3D-animation.

B) Kratos shouts like he doesn't want his cubicle neighbour to hear him.

C) Consoles can be used for toxic warfare.

Great! Time to use my special ability : Bughunt! Now if Filefront wasn't down all the time for me ...

Prototype ... they've been reading my mind, the imagination about a guy with hellish powers (not including Alucard and other anime characters).
