You made the right decision given the situation. We both decided that would lead to feature creep and lengthened development time.Īfter nearly two years, Mark had had enough and I have other projects to get going on, so we decided not to go down that route. We did discuss getting a con coder on board. If we'd expanded the scope any more, we'd be looking at a DNF style development experience. It wound up with basically a team of two. It really extended the time frame for the mod. That decision was a curse and a blessing. Then I joined the project and convinced them to expand the map. It was to be only the original map with Polymer NG quality replacements for the existing sprites and models. That was actually how the mod started out. Oasiz said: ' Some areas felt really like an usual fanmade map in some more modern engine with it's assets being used as drop-in replacements.' I'll take the blame/credit for that since I mapped it. Our original intent with the cinema was to present a very fancy, modern place with a touch of slum in it since the aliens took it over a short time ago. But we were getting tired and itching for a release so going back to implement confetti effects in code and mapping was not done. So that opened up the door for other minor con coding that my noob skills could handle. And then in the last few months of the mod we decided to use con coding so that we could make use of Mblackwells light hack mod to help frame rate. By then, the new layout of the arcade was in and I didn't feel the sector lighting could be easily put back in. Then team members disappeared and the decision was made cut back by not doing any con coding.

When I first started the mapping I removed all sector based lighting and the arcade lighting because my plans were to use High Treason's 'Confetti' mod to add those back in for use with Polymer lights. Mark: ( sweet baby Jesus) Yeah, *sigh* whatever. Oh, and you know that at the height they are at, the Moon is at completly the wrong scale.

Mark: You know, that pistol is a bit out of scale. I'm pretty sure Mark commented on the scale at some point. If we'd had a larger team, then it would have replaced the pistol. We even thought at one point of putting it in the mod. It could have been a lot more polished, but then it would be a project in and of itself and would have stretched us up to the 2 year mark.Ībout the DEagle, I always loved the idea of it. We'd like to get people thinking of other ways that they can make cool stuff with Polymer, and hopefully inspire a few others to make their own high-res mods. The other point of the mod is to show what is possible with Polymer beyond just the HRP. Beyond that, we tried to make it as much fun as we remember some sections of the rest of Duke being. We tried to add some more gameplay beyond the normal limits of HH. I'm happy that people are having fun with the mod.
