GLDuke Released

I see warped textures, I see blurry menus, and I see a game I'm not going to even bother with.

GLDuke? Sure, but while we're at it, why not GLBlake Stone, GLShadow Warrior, or... naaah.

Thanks!

wow.. i first started mostly online gaming with Duke on HEAT.net.

damn that shit was fun as hell, but the proces of getting a game started was a fucking bitch.

28.8 connection too, those were the days.

Damn most of you need to calm down a little. This is a project done by one guy (with the help of one other now I think). He didn't have the source to work with when he started, unlike the people who have done Doom in OpenGL and DX, he reverse engineered and developed this renderer from almost scratch.

Remember how crap some of the early releases of the GL Doom ports were? This is still better than those, and is a much bigger achievement overall. Give the guy some time to work on it, to work through the issues it currently has, and you'll have a pretty good accelerated version of Duke in the end.

And if you don't like Duke3D then what the hell do you care anyway? Do what you like, but don't bitch at people trying to achieve something you don't much care about.

GLDuke is a great game!

for me to poop on

JDOOM is the best GLdoom port I've used.

Rember the Glide port of Outlaws? That was actually pretty good. Damn, what a great game too.
