12 Years Too Much

// May 10th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Usual

I read today on the BBC technology news page that Duke Nukem Forever developer, 3D Realms, was closed down today. I must admit that I was shocked when I read the news. I shouldn’t have been really considering that they were working on DNF for the last 12 years which in all fairness is a tad excessive for any title – given that money needs to be made at some point. Hey – don’t get me wrong – HDTP is on year 7 so I’m not one to talk! But – it’s always sad to hear a veteran game company dissappear into the ether.

See the guys say their final goodbyes here -> http://www.3drealms.com/

Maybe DNF will forever be a myth.

HDTP Status

I’m pleased to say that Deus Ex HDTP is almost complete. DDL is helping to keep tabs of all the new work and making sure it gets tested and packaged up. The weapons are down to the last 4 left to texture (all modelling is done). I have personally textured the Flamethrower which I haven’t posted an image of yet so stand by for that one. I’ve also finished the ammo box textures. Erica is kindly picking up the crossbow and Dicky (from the Stellar mod) is doing an amazing job on the brand new Gray that Ben modelled a while back.

Images to follow soon ;)

Meanwhile – if you haven’t played TNM yet then where the hell have you been? Go play this incredible mod now – http://www.thenamelessmod.com/
