Edit: this video has been updated to be more accurate and less shitty.

I brought a DNF 2001 video, as it shot to the very front of my production schedule. Old DOS platformer? NAH! Slavjank? We will get to it, and it's magical. 

But DNF 2001 is, if not important, at least interesting, and most importantly, glitchy and surreal in equal measure. We never thought we'd play this. While you won't see every single map included in the leak, I think I captured all of the big ones and ignored the placeholders or empty spaces that have nothing to discuss. There's lots of those. 

I was actually surprised at how much there was in this build. A dedicated team could make a game out of this in a year. And, from what I understand, they did, before it got scrapped because it wasn't pretty enough. Bleeding edge graphics killed this version. If it had come out in 2002, it would have been epochal. If it had come out in 2003, it would have been a monster hit. The Duke would have stayed king.

It didn't, and we ended up in the bad timeline, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Was waiting to hear you talk about this lol

YukoValis

It will never not be twin peaks. Don't you understand? We are trapped here..

Burt Fuckman

How's the new cell Civvie? Less pre-installed torture devices?

civvie11

Really, isn't Twin Peaks about saving the babes?

Valora Inverse

Wild ride that was well worth the wait, and very intrigued at the prospect of more Petty Thief. 👀

Tory Leo

Thanks! Been watching since December and I think I finally ran out of Civvie 11 content. Watching the Postal 4 content at my graphics driver dev job got a bit sketch with some of the Kunny Island bits.

YukoValis

Maybe. Was Duke Nukem forever about it either though?

Hey Civvie, it looks like the game is running in software mode for a lot of the recording. (Fucked up main menu, broken particles, wacky text) Since this is a jank in-progress build from the turn of the millennium, when you Alt-Enter to either go fullscreen or back into a window it will switch from DX8 to software and stay that way. For anyone who wants the DNF leak to launch in fullscreen, after applying the MegaPatch go to \Players\Duke\DukeForever.ini and change StartupFullscreen=False to true. Also for the best experience, copy your October 26 folder to the root of your C:\ drive and rename it to Duke4 or something short. The engine doesn't like long file paths and it also doesn't like spaces in folder names. This should help things like quicksaving actually work, sometimes.

civvie11

It is definitely not software mode. The borked particles is something I've seen before, like a transparency issue, in other games. This is the best I could get it to run with the mega patch.

Ackart

Well, hair is rendering closer to correct for you so whatever is causing that glitch gives and takes away

civvie11

yeah, I was surprised to see the hair working as well as it was considering what I'd heard about how glitched it was. I've tried a bunch of different things to get patches to play nice and I still haven't gotten the menu to work correctly. I was a little worried when you said "software mode" but then I realized that if it was, the particles would probably look better, although dithered instead of transparent.

civvie11

Now that I think about it, this could be due to the part of the patch that is the "August render hack" that I used because it said, specifically, that it fixes the hair and messes up some other things. EDIT: Yes, this is what was causing those other issues. Looks like I'm re-capturing a bunch of gameplay tomorrow

Jay Phillips

There is a mod team working on what they call the "Restoration Project" with the aim of turning the build into a fully playable game. They even got Gianni Matragrano onboard to play Duke.

Adam K

Can't wait to watch this one! One question though: the leakers said that there will be another release in June. Is that still happenning?

Ackart

On the plus side you get to play through Rooftops and see all the effects as intended, which are all great. Piss looks better too, really gives Postal 2's fluid dynamics a run for their money

LordLudicrous

Would I be able to get a link to the project? I would like to follow progress

Ackart

Oh! And while I'm on a footage-ruining roll, the nightvision does work with the proper jank-ass renderer. However that General Graves message will play twice - once in the Duke Cave, where it is wrong, and once after you lead a civilian with a flashlight through a dark burnt out hotel to a fuse box. He does a weird motion captured dance and then the call happens again where you will finally be allowed to use the very narrow FOV nightvision.

civvie11

oh don't worry, I've captured replacement footage of all these things. But also the pissing function, which was also broken, and you'll never believe what it looks like in the mirror.

Jay Phillips

They have their own private discord server...not sure how to follow them. They used to be on this server until they spun out on their own, the mods may know how to reach them https://discord.gg/eRWJPe2WTx

Ackart

Piss is stored in the brains And I've got a headache

BDP Illustrations

Makes me want the Quake port for PS1 to leak too. Supposedly it is built and was looking for a publisher....

methical

Didn't Randy say, this stuff wasn't worth it to look at? Well Randy lied again.

ChrisXWright

He did the thing! And he didn't once mention Geor-[gunshot]

Argon Productions

Petty Thief 2!! If you're worried about views, I think it could work as a 1-hour special for the whole game. Thanks Civvie. I was hyped for this one and it was a good episode.

Sabowie

BLOOD Civvie.... more Blood....

Planescaped

I've seen enough Forgotten Weapons to know that the Desert Eagle's .50 cal and the rifle's .50 cal are the same diameter bullet, just with massively different amounts of powder behind them and different lengths.... IIRC...

Green

Imagine if this had been a hit in 2002 or 2003, then ALL games would've had a piss button. Imagine Halo, but with a piss button.

Adil G.

Once again, awesome!

Maktaka

I just wanted to say that the work of re-doing so much footage to deal with game bugs is the sort of stuff that makes you one of the best on youtube. You can actually smell the effort going into the video.
