Duke Nukem Animated Series in the Works

Writes Esquire regarding Adi Shankaracharya of Netflix fame:

 

What do you have coming next?

 

Shankaracharya: I got video games in production. Obviously more Devil May Cry. I’m being approached with different IPs and companies that want to work with me. I bought the rights to Duke Nukem. Not the gaming rights, but I bought it from Gearbox.

 

What’s your vision for Duke Nukem?

 

Shankaracharya: It’s a middle finger to everybody. When Duke Nukem blew up, a bunch of people sat around trying to turn it into a brand, when it’s just a middle finger. Duke Nukem can’t be made by a corporation, because the moment a corporation makes Duke Nukem, it’s no longer Duke Nukem. I don’t intend on having anyone tell me what to do on this one.

New Duke Nukem 3D User Map: Weather Report

Hi, I’m pepsodent, but some call me peps. I’m proud to say that after 6 hard months of learning mapster I finally released my 1st map, Weather Report. The setting is cliche after 30 years of duke mapping but I’m sure everyone made a strip club and slums when making 1st map. Map is a bit open with different paths there and there so you are very likely to get lost for a bit but I made sure everything is as connected as possible and easy to loop around. Honestly don’t know what else to say, go play the map and tell me your thoughts about it. How interesting it was, what you liked/disliked, was the combat good or not. Maybe you found super secret? All important info is in .txt file of course

The journey was very fun and I’m very grateful to all the pro mappers that helped me out to get the map done. I discovered this engine and janky but fantastic games on it few years ago and been in love with it since. Always wanted to make something myself but was very intimidated by the tools but gotta say mapster is pretty cool, it really does ‘get good when you get used to it’, maybe its just Stockholm syndrome who knows but I like it and already got tons of ideas to make more maps.
