'DUKE NUKEM 3D' is a video game classic by Apogee/3DRealms (1996).

'DUKE NUKUM V' story loosely based on the scrapped plot for "Duke Nukem V"/"Duke Nukem Vengeance" which can be found
in the 'DUKE NUKEM 3D' source code; courtesy of Apogee/3DRealms (probably S. Miller, A.H. Blum, G. Broussard, T. Replogle?)

This project is neither made nor supported by 3DRealms.
This project requires a relatively recent EDuke32 build to play/look right.

Description             : First 4 levels of my new, upcoming 8-level (plus one bonus) D3D/EDuke32 episode.
                          Requires a relatively recent (post 2023-ish) version of EDuke to run properly.
                          Loosely based on Apogee/3DR's scrapped "Duke Nukem V" plot that exists in the D3D source code.
                          Heavy focus on modern EDuke features: TROR, rotated textures, sloped sprites, fogpals...
                          No new .art or gameplay-significant edits to code for optimal compatibility with other mods.
                          V. 0.93 exists so that there is a convenient way to install/play all 4 maps in continuity.
                          Stay tuned for the rest which will be shared periodically/sporadically.
                          (The included USER.CON is an Atomic Edition USER.COn edited just to include level/music data;
                          if unfamiliar, the errors EDuke32 will pick up on at launch are from the base code and inoffensive).

Release Date            : May 1st, 2026

Additional Credits      : Original inspirations (you will spot them - all around all the maps.)
