It's not a joke.

Adding skyboxes for the 32bit players.

Which is to say, everyone who doesn't have a broken computer. This is great because 8-bit skyboxes are broken in Polymost, they only go halfway up the sky (I don't know about Polymer).

[ZedDB]

Wow, nice skybox! ^^ Perhaps it's just an illusion but is it animated quake 1 style?

[William Gee]

Its not animated.

[KillerBudgie]

Those skyboxes look nice! Sometimes it's great to have some 32bit art instead of it all being 8bit.

[William Gee]

The skyboxes work well, but I doubt think we will be adding anything more HIGHRES. Maybe OGG music but that's all.

Yeah. I'm sure a little bit of high quality music wouldn't hurt.

still need some tweaks (nice contrast - WG adds 32-bit exclusive skybox and I'm working on the voxel chest )

[Spiker]

These are nice chests. I don't know what tweaks are you talking about

OMG you haved turned Duke into a Zelda game chest !

[HellFire]

Really nice voxel! But i thought that Wg and/or DT were avoiding voxels to make it polymer compatible.

It's fine as long as something shows up in Polymer, like the regular sprite version.

[ZedDB]

BTW how does the "episode select" work in WGR 2? Will it be like in Duke Plus where you have this "lobby" or will it be vanilla duke style? If it's the first one perhaps you could make levels unlock if you complete the previous one etc.

There is an episode hub system. The details have not been finalized, but the player will be able to return to completed maps in order to find missed secrets and take care of unfinished business. The hub stuff won't matter much in the first release, which will include only the first episode.

[William Gee]

The Voxel chests look awesome. I always thought the sprite version didn't have enough frames.
As for polymer, that's more DT'S thing, It still doesn't work here so.

[William Gee]

HQ should work better this time.

[Mia Max]

Looks great!
Epic level design and cool weapons. I love the flamethrower.

[aherin]

Looks like it's going to be fantastic I can already see myself getting to the end and wanting about 20 more levels

[KillerBudgie]

I wonder if he'll say the line from 'Time to Kill': "I'm gonna get mid-evil on your asses!" when you start.

The one from Atomic edition sounds good, but the one from 'Time to Kill' sounds a lot better!

Thanks.
I'm really hoping the community will build some user levels after the first release. The art and code deserve more levels.

[Sangman]

I think I might try my hand at doing one, the enemies look like big fun to work with.

[XThX2]

One question. You didn't use the BFG up close the enemies, does it hurt you?

[KillerBudgie]

In DOOM. If you fired the BFG at point-blank it wouldn't hurt you. But bad luck tells me that he's coded it to hurt you if you stand too close to an enemy or a wall!

The projectile itself has a small radius so it can blow up cracked walls etc. The blasts that it spawns on monsters do not have any radius. So unless you are at point blank range, it is safe. I can eliminate the small radius of the projectile, too. It would be pretty dumb to waste a BFG shot just to blow up a cracked wall anyway.

[XThX2]

Well, it would be great if you did because it would kill one of the main uses of BFG in multiplayer then

The BFG will still kill opposing players, it just won't kill the player firing it.

[William Gee]

yeah we don't need it to blow up cracks. Its better if it doesn't hurt the player shooting it at all.

[Jimmy]

DT, me thinks you could just have the player code run a comparison between the owner of the BFG's projectile and the player getting hit by it. I'm not sure if it'd work.
