3D Realms Art Director Interview Duke Nukem: Forever

3D Realms really has broken all records for the longest development time for a videogame. It had fans anticipating the release somewhere around 1999 when a video revealing in game footage was released to the public powered by the unreal engine. Several design changes and engine updates (plus a decade later) there is still little hope of this game getting released anytime soon. That all of course has recently changed with the release of the recent video for DNF (Duke Nukem Forever). This interview was taken by thinkdif.com and involves the art director for 3D Realms, Tramell Isaac. A little interesting tidbit from the interview, "Is the Duke Nukem character that we see in the demo, the actual game character? Tramell - Much of the credit goes to the programmers. That is 100% in-game, in-engine footage. That model IS the current Duke Nukem in-game model. This is not to say that we won’t be making adjustments to the model as we refine and polish the game. Everything in the teaser was taken straight from the engine via Fraps. Of course we added the logos and white flashes in editing to complete the total package."For the complete interview you can just click the read more link below.
