Hi, I’m pepsodent, but some call me peps. I’m proud to say that after 6 hard months of learning mapster I finally released my 1st map, Weather Report. The setting is cliche after 30 years of duke mapping but I’m sure everyone made a strip club and slums when making 1st map. Map is a bit open with different paths there and there so you are very likely to get lost for a bit but I made sure everything is as connected as possible and easy to loop around. Honestly don’t know what else to say, go play the map and tell me your thoughts about it. How interesting it was, what you liked/disliked, was the combat good or not. Maybe you found super secret? All important info is in .txt file of course

The journey was very fun and I’m very grateful to all the pro mappers that helped me out to get the map done. I discovered this engine and janky but fantastic games on it few years ago and been in love with it since. Always wanted to make something myself but was very intimidated by the tools but gotta say mapster is pretty cool, it really does ‘get good when you get used to it’, maybe its just Stockholm syndrome who knows but I like it and already got tons of ideas to make more maps.

Duke Nukem D-Day

Scott Miller has posted some info about Duke Nukem D-Day:

An industry insider friend told me that there’s a working version of Duke Nukem D-Day that’s been found, a never finished game from around 2007-08 time frame. I expect video footage will be posted soon by whomever has it. This was a project Apogee had partnered with N-Space to make, who also made Time to Kill and Land of the Babes. The game’s story was that Duke would go back in time to WW2 and play a pivotal role is many well known events, like the sinking of the Bismarck, and he’d be part of the D-Day invasion taking out numerous key Nazi strongholds. I think he also found Hitler’s bunker and finished off the dictator, making it look like suicide.
