Duke Nukem Forever in Production
An anonymous reader writes "Like that fungus under your keyboard, Duke Nukem Forever never really seems to go away. Well in the latest installment in unsubstantiated DNF rumors it appears that the game is finally in production. Via Joystiq "everyone's favorite vaporware is "in full production" according to George Broussard, co-founder of 3D Realms. In an interview with 1up, towards the end, Broussard chats about the status of Duke Nukem Forever, the unfortunately-apt title to the game over a decade in development."
Duke Nukem Forever you say? What is it? What happened untill now?
Check it out for yourself, from Wikipedia..
Dependency hell? =>
You do build the props for a movie before you start filming, but it's different for games. You build the engine (unless you use an already existing one), work out the rough plots etc and spiff up the graphics at any stage you like. So finishing the guns doesn't give any indication as to the level of completion of the project - neither one way not the other.
>Just because they're saying it's being worked on doesn't mean that it'll ever be released.

Whatever has been going on all this time, it appears that now there is a 12/31/06 date with money attached, with millions already being paid.

One other notable payment was the renegotiation of a $6 million charge due upon delivery of the final PC version of Duke Nukem Forever back in March 2005. The epic delay of 3D Realms' shooter has meant that $4.25 million of the final milestone payment has already been paid, alongside the promise of a final $500,000 upon the commercial release of Duke Nukem Forever prior to December 31, 2006.
from the previous story about Take Two's SEC 10K filing
maybe not worth the paper it's printed on, but this is way more detail than I've seen on this in years
There is much cruelty in the universe, John.
Yeah, we seem to have the tour map.
This is the home of my port of 3D Realms Entertainment's Duke Nukem 3D to Windows using my port of Ken Silverman's Build game engine. It is work in progress so that means it might crash and burn and be unstable.

Well that explains why you get to see Daniel Jacksons wifes tits and ass in the first episode*. I had never figured out how they slipped that one by the FCC, even the pre-Bush FCC.
* Next week Stargate S01E01/02 will be the highest traded file(s) on your favorite P2P network as 150,000 Slashdotters download it again to bask in the light that is Daniel Jacksons wifes bush.
