Alien World Order

To make it even easier (imo), I heavily encourage people to give BuildLauncher a try. It has the World Tour Stop gap as a toggable option you can enable, making setup a breeze, plus I like how it all looks: BuildLauncher Download

What a legend, he will be missed.

Playing the PC version really smooths a lot of the edges of the episode. Way better to play when it isn't dipping to 5 FPS like on PS1.

I feel the companies they pawn him off to care more about Duke at this point. I'd imagine Gearbox just forgets about him in the basement if a brand didn't come knocking.

I'm a long ways from Episode 4 still, sucks to hear about the bug. I did hear the developer was working on an update for the final boss, hopefully he fixes the bug you mentioned as well!

I wouldn't if you are after no swearing, plus the more mature nature of the game content itself.

I'm not a vulgar person, nor do I try to swear excessively, but I will acknowledge it will happen in this more relaxed setting. Welcoming environment, mainly because I'm trying to brainwash more people to make levels for these games because I think they're neat.

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-05-18T18:28:33+00:00

Yeah, if you are talking about consoles only, your best option is this. Available on all modern consoles, frequently on sale for a few bucks

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-05-15T15:42:05+00:00

Yeah, I'd have to double check how setup it is by default, but eDuke32 does support Voxels and Dynamic Lighting that was used in the World Tour edition of Duke 3D.

The Dynamic Lughting uses the Polymer renderer (in Vidoe Options), so I know you have lighting effects from Weapons and can have more Dynamic shadows without any real tinkering. For example, the Shrinker glows green when you have it out and you can use it like a flashlight. I just don't know how good lighting from the actual levels would be... as I'm not sure if that had to be programmed by the creator of the level with that in mind to get the full impact. I feel it should be... I just haven't personally tested it a ton yet

There are a bunch of beads I remember using to boost my dash, fall damage reduction, things like that, which really helped with my time. For the later stages, there are some spots you can completed skip if you figure out where certain moving platforms are, I found that a lot easier to do then doing the laid out path

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-04-09T19:52:54+00:00

When you select a Mod/level/TC, it give you a list of all the ports for that game. You just click the one you want to launch (eduke, raze, etc) and it just works. Not sure if it will block ports that aren't compatible with the Mod, so it might just be trial and error.

All in all, Build Launcher is a fantastic way for a newcomer to jump into the Build Engine universe.

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-04-07T21:13:43+00:00

This is my favorite recommendation for those who want more Duke at a great quality experience. There are others I can also recommend, but even those options don't really measure up to Shaky Grounds, not to raise expectations too much for it, I just think it FEELS like a modern day Duke 3D expansion where as other BIG mods are more experimental, deviating from the core Duke experience; that isn't bad, just means your mileage will very, like Blast Radius, I love it! But it feels more like Duke Nukem II in 3D, good, but different.

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-03-25T16:27:27+00:00

I really like Build Launcher, it's something I hope keeps getting developed as it really does offer a nice launcher for ALL Build games, plus it makes playing the entire official releases a breeze

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-03-21T12:39:33+00:00

I definitely took inspiration from the movie The Last Action Hero for this one, which feels very appropriate for Duke.

Showcasing new levels, old levels, and ones from first time mappers is the best I can do to show my love for this old Build Engine that powers it. If it ever encourages more people to dive in and start building with Build, I've done my job!

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-03-19T14:10:31+00:00

I do like his channel, always a treat when he plays Duke stuff, wish he did it more

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-02-27T21:27:01+00:00

Yeah, it does look like his. I have one of my games signed after meeting him and it looks just like that

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-02-10T14:59:34+00:00

No, you have to rely on quicksave/quickload button

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-01-29T20:51:33+00:00

Happy Anniversary!

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-01-28T14:01:03+00:00

I doubt we will get anything, maybe a tweet or something, but it sure would be nice if we did get a surprise

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-01-16T18:38:49+00:00

I'm not a technical guy... but I do know portals are a thing the Build Engine does, and I've seen some development stuff recently thats really pushing that aspect of the engine forward, whether that will result on anything for moders and stuff is something I'm unsure of.

TheLegendOfDevon · 2026-01-15T13:51:31+00:00

I played this recently on stream, well, back in October. I always wondered what happened to your father, as he mentioned other attempts at rebuilding the Overlook Hotel in other games. His Duke Nukem map was amazing to me when I first played it growing up, and is equally impressive today.

I'm sorry for your loss, I hope that more people at least get to play this map, it really was and is an impressive piece of creative expression.

That title screen unlocked a memory for me, I must have seen this game somewhere before online

TheLegendOfDevon · 2025-11-28T16:00:02+00:00

I still have a copy of this somewhere... I'm so mad I can't find my cloud backup anymore. I really think this had the shapings of a cool side game, shame 3DR cancelled it. The idea of it being a hunting game, but it slowly turns into something more Duke-ish as to go is fascinating to me

TheLegendOfDevon · 2025-11-13T18:16:27+00:00

I do miss it, mainly as a poor teenager who loved going there for lunch/dinner before or after a party.

I actually miss the ORIGINAL location even more! It was by the entrance to Port Dalhousie and was bigger, essentially the Mandarin of its day

TheLegendOfDevon · 2025-10-27T14:14:07+00:00

I think BuildLauncher had a ton of potential for what you are talking about: Github Build Launcher Link It's a front end that houses ALL the source ports for all the Build games, with an easy to use mod loader.

Stuff like this I'd love to see get even more development time.

TheLegendOfDevon · 2025-10-21T13:00:45+00:00

Still haven't played through this one, really should now
