This is a 12-1/2 year long project. One of the chief features of is the RPG-style mechanics mixed with traditional style FPS gaming, such as having improvable stats for Health/Armor/Attack/Defense/Speed, and being able to level up. Other elements include an extended inventory system to carry lots of items. Status buffs/ailments are present as well. But the most important feature of the RPG-style system is by far the multiple-character system. Unlike Hexen and it's ilk where you choose one character to use for the entire game, in NR you find new characters and increase the size of your group and can switch between them at will. Play as Duke Nukem and up to 14 additional characters, each with their own special abilities and such. All of these characters are also in one large party, RPG-style, not like Hexen's method of selecting 'classes'. Monster interactivity is improved. Monsters can now drown, take damage from slime, pick up health and armor, and even pick up powerups laying around. Players and Monsters alike may level up and increase their stats as they fight. TEN difficulty levels from "Eat it Boy, Eat it!" to "The End of Your Destiny". Customized menu system from choosing your characters, looking through your items and other methods. Several classic-Duke3D bug fixes, including "teleporting Trooper damage", "Shrunken monster damage" and more. Status Ailments and Buffs for players. More you will need to check out the site and play to game to discover! Numeric Keypads can be used for accessing doors and security. Hand Scanner switches allow to limit switch access to only one or a couple of specific characters per scanner. Four new keycard colors (Blood, Brown, Green, Silver), and two new keypad readers to support these new colors. Airbubbles will restore your air supply underwater as well as your scuba gear. Shops are now available in the game [via the DEALER actor for now]. Fall-damage system revamped to be more like classic Duke again. New Radar System that displays actors on the overhead view as arrows. An item must be found to use it though [MERCURYCOMPUTER]. The displays for the basic stats and the menus and shops are changed and optimized for better clarity and less obstructions and more user-friendliness in general. Drivable Vehicles: Empty Pigcop Riot Tanks can be found and driven in three different colors: Green, Blue and Red. Each has their own pair of attacks and other functionalities. |
