3D Realms Licenses Plot Engine From id DALLAS, TX - Only days after signing an agreement to license id Software's Quake 2 engine for their upcoming Duke Nukem Forever game, 3D Realms has announced that it will also be licensing id's long-cherished Plot engine for DNF's storyline. ![]() ![]() "We don't want to make the same mistake with Duke," adds Broussard. "Prey is eating up most of our time, so we have even less manpower to dedicate to the Duke project. However, with both the Quake 2 and Plot engines at our disposal, all we have to do is throw in pipebombs, ExplodingToplessGoGoDancersTM, etc. etc. and boom! Instant winner!" Though still very early in development, 3D Realms has already created an alpha build of the DFN storyline. Currently, Duke Nukem plays a grunt for an as-yet unnamed corporation that has been covertly experimenting with teleporation technology. Hellish-looking monsters come through the portal one day and overrun the testing site. Duke is sent in as part of a rescue team, and manages to become the only surviving member in a matter of seconds. "Armed with only a pistol," Duke single-handedly saves the universe (and its beautiful women) from the forces of Satan Himself. "We would never have done something like that," says Carmack, "but there's plently of room in the market for both our products." |
