Hello,

recently i found a site from a hobby programmer that reprogrammed Duke Nukem 1 (EP1-3) for fun.
Unfortunately, i'm unable to find it.

Does anyone remember this project?

Kind regards

Unfortunately not. It was a 1:1 rewrite of the core engine capable of running with the original data.

Just found freenukum. Doesn't look like what I searched, but resembles it exactly.

Looks promising. I'll look into it tomorrow, but for what I remember that's it! Thanks

Yeah, that's it.
Does someone know the author? Can't find way to contact him.
Would be nice if he put the source on github because he no longer maintains it.

My opinion about what, releasing the source code? Well, there is a tiny chance that somebody might want to do a proper (commercial) re-release of this game at some point, so why should I give away the results of months of work for free?

If you have any bug reports or feature requests, I'm willing to listen and I might even release an updated version at some point. The lack of feedback was the main reason why I stopped working on this in the first place. The other reason is that the rights to Duke Nukem 1 have been transferred from 3D Realms to Gearbox and I honestly have no idea what their (Gearbox's) legal department would say about this little project.
