Hail to the King baby!
Was about time we saw something from the DNF.
The graphics look good enough...

It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum.

And I'm all out of gum.

We should start a petition! "Release DNF before Dosraider dies of old age, oh please please please! We really want him to play it!"

By the way, do we know if Ken Silverman is still working with 3D-Realms? He's something of a hero of mine (if you can't tell from the avatar) and I'm curious how much of the new engine he had a part in. (if any at all)

I don't know if K.Silverman is still working on that project.

I know he has a place@JonoF's site under advsys.net/ken, but I'm a lazy reader.
You probably know 'bout that, but for others that didn't know:
http://www.jonof.id.au/forum/
And of course his webpage:
http://advsys.net/ken/default.htm
He created great things for the gamers.

If someone wants to take a look, his freeware zone:
http://advsys.net/ken/download.htm
Pretty good stuff there

Ken also did an interview with 3D Realms:
http://www.3drealms.com/news/2006/02/th ... acy_8.html

And with two other DOS games sites (TEH COMPETITION!!) here:
http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/intervie ... /index.php
and
http://www.classicdosgames.com/intervie ... erman.html

The interviews make it sound like unfortunately Ken isn't working on anything gaming related and doesn't plan to:

I'll push my luck. What's next for Ken Silverman?
If I told you, I would have to kill you! Actually, not much. I don't think I'll be re-entering the gaming scene anytime soon.

Edit: lol ... good quote:

Around March of 1993, id Software released a set of alpha screenshots of DOOM. That's about when I started to work on Build. ... DOOM had an impressive list of features. I decided to start with angled walls with a little prototype I wrote in QuickBasic (named PICROT).

Heh, Classic DOS Games. I checked out their forum and now I don't feel so bad about DGF only having 70,000 posts... it's better than 700!

So how, with such a tiny website, did they snag an interview with Ken Silverman? I say it's time to step up the competition, emmzee.

Don't 'compete', it's more a sister site.
700 posts, they are pretty young, they will grow , hopefully.

Maybe Wally will register there, and you will see the total post count explode.

Yea, almost 3 years, to be precise!

Post by **dosraider** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 4:34 pm

You didn't had a forum when you were 3 years young, dork.

Post by **Larry Laffer** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 4:51 pm

Course not! When I was 3 I had a BBS thingy!

Post by **dosraider** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 5:07 pm

Now, actually, that doesn't surprise me.

Post by **Dogbreath** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 11:15 pm

What Larry means is, their forum has been around for 3 years.

In 2005 (our 3rd year), we had, 40,000 posts?

the fight continues and who will win. i believe in you dos raider. we can do it. more people, more advertisement and more networking

Post by **dosraider** » Sun Dec 23, 2007 2:15 am

There isn't a fight, gamemaster1. And if there was one I wouldn't be part of it. There is enough empty space on TeH internet, we can all live happilly together.
And it's almost Christmas, peacefull thoughts is what we need.

Er, don't take this the wrong way, but... who the heck are you? You've had 4 posts here and they've all been very random... no introduction, or typical post, just jumping right into a conversation like you know the people in it. Not that it's bad, it's just strange... do you go on #dosgames irc a lot? I don't have the time, usually, so maybe you know everyone from there or something.
