Hello dudes.

So, I made and launched a beta of 'Dukecraft' about a year ago, you might have seen it around:

Basically, I want to push ahead and get this thing in some finished, polished order. It could be really cool and great for Minecraft and Duke Nukem 3D fans alike.

I really want Dukecraft to be a little bit of reinvented retro revival.
I'm looking for some help from a few Dukers or Minecrafters - or, preferably, both!

This is how I would like the final release, as one package:

1) Textures
95% original Duke 3D - the rest are either modified to fit or original content gap fillers. Textures can now be fully animated wherever necessary!
Being an artist and animator by trade I got this bit covered!

2) Sound
Again, 95% original.
I generally got this bulked out - simply a case of replacing Minecraft's .oggs with Duke ones. But I'm no sound designer, and some of them are a bit rough round the edges.
Any help from a sound guy making Duke noises sound more epic and professional would be badass.

3) Music
Not too sure what to do about this one...Minecraft music plays randomly from a selection of tracks.
Any music types that can perhaps remix Duke tracks to have gradual fade in/out (not just volume-wise)? Otherwise, anyone know where I can get the original Duke music?

4) Single player episode, and City Sandbox map!
This is a big one, but it's straightforward. Building maps in Minecraft is just like Lego.
I could do with some help from an experienced Minecraft redstone engineer though...got plenty of lifts, explosions and trains to wire up.

5) Beta testing
I certainly want to enlist a few original Duke3D fans to review and check out how it's going - including the textures, the map etc.


Post right back here if you think you can help in any way. Otherwise, I'll keep at it, and be sure to update here when I get somewhere. Laters!

I have had a look at this in the past, its pretty cool.

I'd love to beta test for you! By the way, I don't know if you can actually make lifts or not. Pistons MIGHT be able to, but it would be endlessly complicated and going back down would probably be out of the question. Piston trains move really slowly too. Ignore that last statement. I hadn't watched the trailer yet. By the way, I'm REALLY excited for this mod!

Great, watch this space and I'll let you know when I've got something for you to look at.

Believe it or not, I HAVE already successfully implemented a lift (downloaded someone's design)! It's made of trap doors, I don't understand it at all, but it works nicely. It even works both ways. Piston trains is a no-no indeed, My Rabid Transit Network is made of minecarts.

I'd also like to have a look if you don't mind. Minecraft has pretty much taken over me

Goodgood! Hopefully you'll enjoy Dukecraft just as much.

Just to let you know, you can already download the older version from you link on the youtube description. Some textures will be missing etc.

Was just thinking, since 1.3 adds the Adventure mode in some form, you could have proper maps I guess without the player destroying any blocks
