To reiterate and summarize his points made above, Broussard says you can break down any character into the following characteristics: Characters that are larger than life, and for those types of characters there's a pretty basic starting point. We typically create over-the-top characters that lean more toward what you might find in comic books or high-action movies. Our gaming audience is getting more sophisticated every day and won't settle for less.īroussard adds that this advice really depends on the types of characters you want to make. What you end up with is an interesting character who's fairly unique to games, and hopefully people respond to that. Max narrates his journey metaphorically, in the style of detective films of the1940s and 1950s. Finally, you give Max his "personality" through the way he speaks. He's an undercover cop, with his back against the wall, out for revenge after the death of his wife and daughter. His name has a unique hook and people usually get the pun-that he delivers "maximum pain." Then you give Max a compelling reason to act and be motivated. Remedy Entertainment did a great job with Max Payne. That's the "hook." Once you have a hook that people find interesting, you just flesh out the character with personality traits, mannerisms, and catchphrases.īroussard explains why Max Payne is more than just a cool name: We try to create catchy character names-like Duke Nukem or Max Payne-that instantly get a reaction from people, or create an image in someone's mind. Without that, nothing you do with a character matters. (Heck, his name says it alone!)ģD Realms president George Broussard offers some advice to those looking to create character-driven action games:įirst off, your game has to be great.

I think they appreciate being left out of it.Įver since the third game in 3D Realms' popular Duke Nukem series came out in 1996, countless others have tried to create a successful lead character by mimicking its overly macho, mouthy, badass hero, Duke Nukem.
We work with them through Interceptor, obviously, but we haven’t purchased their shares or assets or anything like that.

Just to make it clear, we have not purchased Apogee Software LLC, who own the rights to Rise of the Triad. We clarified it quite a lot in our international statement that went out this morning, or at least we tried to. We should have made it a little clearer in our statement that went out to the Danish media and then spread from there. The confusion arises because 3D Realms, the legal entity of 3D Realms, is actually still called Apogee Software Limited. To clear that up, we have not purchased Apogee Software LLC.

It’s interesting, because that’s the one that has the full rights to Rise of the Triad, right? People had thought that you had purchased that one. But taken all together, the three versions of the game do make one thing clear: Duke Nukem Forever has much more entertainment value as a story than it does as a video game.RPS: I know there’s been a bit of minor confusion in the wake of the purchase, because there’s actually another Apogee. Neither leaked version of DNF has much at all to do with the version that Gearbox Software eventually released to brutal reviews in 2011.

It might be hard to believe given the success of 2D games like Shovel Knight, Super Meat Boy, Cuphead, and Hollow Knight, but in the mid-to-late-90s PC Games like Quake and 3D-capable home consoles like the first PlayStation and Nintendo 64 created a clear separation: 3D was the wave of the future, and 2D games were relics of the past. Hurd said that the 2D version of Duke Nukem Forever was canceled mainly because of the rising popularity of 3D games, including Duke Nukem 3D. Over time the 4Eva eventually transformed to Forever." So when we as a group were coming up with a name, we thought it would be funny if Duke fell for Eva and her massive assets, and given this was the 4th installation of Duke, the name “Duke Nukem 4 Eva” was born. "The main protagonist in our game was a female Russian soldier called Eva. "It was originally a bit of a pun," Hurd said. He also explained how the Duke Nukem Forever project got its name perhaps unsurprisingly for anyone familiar with Duke Nukem's comedic stylings, it involves a boob joke. Hurd says that the game's look came from rendering Duke Nukem 3D as 2D sprites, which would explain why the game more closely resembles 1994's Donkey Kong Country than the pixel art of the original Duke Nukem games.
