  2. This may seem hard to believe....but by The+Analog+Kid · · Score: 1

    I've been talking to one of the devs of this engine for a year just about, and he showed me the shots of couple of days ago. From what I saw you only had a couple of FPS, still largely unoptimized. It runs like DOOM 3 at this point. He told me what was to be added to the engine, but I've forgotten most of it.

    Is it just me or did anyone else see the title to this story and immediately think it was related to the Duke Nukem Forever engine?

      Seeing how you can't download them right now (/.'ed, I suspected), the question is irrelevent.

    Games are going to look great. It's a shame this engine doesn't help make good gameplay.
    It's like the movie business coming out with a way of blowing stuff up with slightly larger explosions.
