So here we are. According to multiple published reports, citing sources close to the company, 3DRealms has closed its doors. The company best known for the Duke Nukem franchise, the controversial Shadow Warrior and the eternally in-development Duke Nukem Forever, is closing its doors due to a lack of funding. Our requests for comments to 3DRealms and its publishing partner Take-Two remain unanswered as of this writing.

Deep Silver and Apogee Software have told Gamasutra that the Duke Nukem Trilogy for Nintendo DS and PSP compilation remains unaffected by today’s news. The Duke Nukem Trilogy features Duke Nukem: Chain Reaction, Duke Nukem: Critical Mass and Duke Nukem: Proving Grounds.

3D Realms was founded in 1987 by Scott Miller and George Broussard and is best known for Duke Nukem 3D and other Duke Nukem series of games for various platforms. The company is best known for the never ending development of its Duke Nukem 3D sequel Duke Nukem Forever. Thirteen years later, we have no idea how far along that game is - and now we may never know.

The company also produced Max Payne and Max Payne 2 with Remedy Entertainment - later selling the rights to the franchise to Take-Two for millions. The company’s other achievements include the recently released Xbox Live Arcade remakeof Duke Nukem 3D. The company also developed Shadow Warrior , published Human Head Studios’ Prey, a game that it began developing in the 90’s before it was cancelled by 3Drealms.

A visit to the official 3DRealms web site also reveals that the forum and all of its topics have been locked down. Today’s news is a bit shocking if you are a regular visitor to that web site, considering that the last update was on May 5th.

The typical work flow there went something like this:
Designer would be assigned a task (build a new map, rebuild an old map, polish a bit of a map, etc.). Designer would work on said task for two, three weeks, a month, all the while lower management would be looking over it and making sure it was going in a "good general direction." Designer would move on to another task. A month or two later upper management would finally look at the work and say, "It's all wrong, do it again." Rinse, repeat.

Entire maps would be done from the ground up, almost to beta quality, and then thrown out simply because no one would make decisions early on in the process. (Read up on Valve's 'orange box' method of design -- that's how you make games)

WarBlade zei:

Zou best kunnen, wat brengen die uit? Andere bedrijven gaan ten onder als ze één slecht verkopend spel maken en zij denken Forever de tijd te hebben om aan een spel te werken?

Het moest eens gebeuren...

Hoe legendarisch Duke Nukem ook is, 3Drealms is crap. Volgens mij is het zelfs goed dat de studio opgedoekt wordt, want veel nuttigs werd er daar toch niet gedaan:



Als studio niet veel, maar als producer en publisher elk jaar wel iets, waaronder ook Max Payne en Prey.

Als het waar is, dan is het echt wel mind blowing. Het verklaart ook een heleboel.
