Duke Nukem Forever Reaches Development Milestone

[mlauzon]

If you told your spouse that the two of you would be together until Duke Nukem Forever hit shelves in an attempt to be absolutely precious, it might be time to start sweating. According to a tweet by 3D Realms man George Broussard, Duke Nukem Forever’s unending development cycle may soon be leaving the death-and-taxes consistency club.

“Closing out a milestone this week. 71 more tasks to do and we started with probably 800-900. Been a good push. Next one starts Monday,” he tweeted.

After some rudimentary math, we’ve determined that – assuming development continues at a nice clip – Duke will be back in business sometime next year. Guess the Mayans were a little off with their apocalypse calculations.

What is actually taking them SO long, though?

It's ridiculous. It seems to be laziness more than anything.

It was changing game engines from what they were originally using, and other stuff...I have a feeling when it comes out it's not going to save the company and they'll go belly up!

Game engines only take so long to make.
