Eduke 32 .art files6/1/2023 ![]() Then, as a second step, create a replacement asset set, with libre assets only. Such engines already exists, quite a lot actually, for example EDuke32. ![]() This is legally perfectly safe, Linux is full with game engines that are GPL, but ship no assets (you have to copy those proprietary assets from your legally purchased version of the game). "but no more clones!!!" one would say, not thinking of the preservation aspect behind utilizing the original source, formats and target specs.ĭrummyfish :I'd love to see this but I'd also advise to make it a lot different from the original to stay legally safe.I don't think that's necessary.Īs a first step, create Dave3D in a way that it's an exact copy of the Duke Nukem 3D engine and game play. so the potential for the popular 1995-96 bunch remade is there. ![]() either, as it's essentially walking on trademarks.Īlso remember, there's a bunch of other non-3DR/GB Free sources out there from the same era that could have a content project, but don't because there's no content/editing pipeline. Don't do "LibreNukem", "LibreDuke", "FreeDuke" etc. It was hastily named after the other game DaveGnukem, and I didn't think of any of the unfortunate implications that came with it. It's mechanically similar to Heretic.Īs for names, avoid the name Dave3D. Many are fond of the original game for being that (and BOBS of course) and often forget about the weapon functions, the level design tricks, the inventory system, and some of the non-linearity in the progress. Most of this can also apply to SW and Blood (nblood).Īlso for the sake of Free-ness don't have pop culture references. A code of conduct would probably also as important, else you'll probably end up with another cursed game in the legacy of Build. CONs for tile references, prioritize player/weapons/item before all else. ART building pipeline and VOC conversion. You're never going to be 1:1 compatible with custom maps as there's a reliance on sprite size for collision anyway. Ignore it, start anew with a better license. All I can offer is advice.ĭon't repeat the same mistakes. I didn't want to incur any wrath and I still wouldn't regardless of publisher shakeups and my rights with the GPL. Yes, it was politely C&D'd and should be considered legally destroyed.
