Does anyone have any youtube channels they could recommend i follow??

I was also wondering if anyone had saved old content, there was an incredible jurrasic park mod and many other projects over the years that ive since lost track of. Would love to see some of that old content again.

There's two that I know of.

The first is November Blue, who apparently just recently changed the channel name to Yeah PizzaCake: https://www.youtube....pekit1/featured

The second is ViDi games: https://www.youtube....untkha/featured He's not 100% Duke focused but he does still do a lot of Duke maps.


And I suppose there's also now myself, who just recently kinda fell into the role on request: https://www.youtube....pmc2mXHoKxipqyw

Would that be the Jurassic Park map/mod you're thinking of? https://msdn.duke4.net/hotjp2.php

For content, your main references should be MSDN, Arrovfnukem, scent-88.com, The Abandoned Workshops and more I know I'm shamefully forgetting right now. The Duke Nukem Repository too (hosted on Duke4 now) if some of the download links still do work; not sure about all of them. Just look up Duke 3D maps or Duke 3D map reviews and you shall find.

For Duke 3D videos on YouTube, I usually just search for Duke 3D map and then sort by date. You'll see who regularly uploads. Not mentioned in this thread yet: Gerolf, Radar, geomancien (French)... There's a bunch. I do that quite a bit to keep up on the current state of the scene as the video format is a lot more convenient for me these days than organizing myself to find the time to directly play all the maps.

Radar posts user map/mod playthroughs and Dukematch sessions, both with no commentary. He's a good player and fun to watch.

Radar is idiot. He plays vanilla maps with mods like AMC or AA that drastically change the mechanics that these map supposed to have. People's telling him that it's not how these maps is supposed to be played, yet he doesn't seems to understand.

Subscribe to players who plays the maps the way they meant to be played.

[Jimmy]

He's not an idiot. He just records himself playing the game how he wants to play it. People do this with Doom all the time. Just because he plays the game a way you don't like (and I don't either, to be honest) doesn't make him stupid. It's not like he's playing with texture filtering or something.

I recall there used to be a guy called GalleyUK who made Duke 3D + add-ons, SW + add-ons, Blood + add-ons and other things like Chasm, Serious Sam, Quake 1 and 2 and add-ons ............

But unfortunately, after he finnished Serious Sam 3, he stopped making videos and one day, the channel disappeared out of a sudden T_T

Radar seems to be on a streak of Sanek maps right now: https://www.youtube....1e7keGVw/videos

There's also Redx113 who posts videos of new maps quite consistently and seems to play in 20th Anniversary WTA (although using the EDuke stopgap I believe, as some of the newer features like sloped sprites were present in his videos).

Radar seems like he just doesn't give a fuck and plays however he wants, which is OK and not a reason to call him an idiot I think, even if AMC TC breaks a lot of stuff in regular maps (e.g. no shrinker).

Also I really dig Ninety-Six's channel, appreciate him really doing thorough and complete playthroughs that actually require some extra practice.

And here's a new one, going by user name El Juanchi: https://www.youtube....N4x68PxB2XaPtow

Thank you. With how much of a pain some of them can be, I'm happy to hear that the time spent rehearsing pays off...

Yeah, when you think about it, this kind of approach is complementary to someone's like Radar for instance. Radar's videos are a cool display of what the Build engine in general can do, whereas your style is a great testimony of how intricate the designs and layouts of some Duke 3D maps are in and of themselves. As a mapper I especially appreciate that, it's almost a spontaneous initiative of art preservation from one medium to another, but Radar's way and really everyone's is welcome too. Just showcases the diversity, if anything.

[Aleks]

Also, I think no one mentioned Gerolf yet, who was quite original in the way that he played quite obscure, old user maps on Damn, I'm Good.

BTW, what's happened to Gerolf lately? Haven't seen him around in a while...

[Jimmy]

This guy does a lot of videos, but he seems to favor the Kickass mod.

[ck3D]

DNSKILL420 has a fine taste in user maps (and user names): https://www.youtube....mI_w8nIrmIvGtCw all played on Damn I'm Good.

Pretty cool to see them give Forge's maps some shine too. Can't believe it's been eleven years since those and also Forge, holy heck, somehow I had completely forgotten about that store you had built in my name in that one, with such attention to detail too, I really appreciate that.

Ultratree did playthroughs of most of the Duke games back in the day. Just search him on Youtube.

There's also pagb666, he does a lot of Duke playthroughs.

I used to have my Machinima series on Youtube under Duke Nukem The Series, but all of that content got moved to The Duke Cave on facebook.

Well now this YouTuber has been fucking on it, just look:
