This is my FIFTH MAP so far...I guess I'm getting pretty good at this MAP designing stuff after all! This MAP is a first for me as well, due to the fact that this level was designed for single and multiplayer play, which I've never done before. It is a wide open level, and it is loaded with plenty of sniper points and vantage areas, which should make hunting down and blowing away up to three of your friends in Dukematch pretty interesting. When I was creating this level, I was heavily inspired by the old GODZILLA movies, which is why you are constantly being stalked by giant beasties in the city. Also, the "postal" Postal Worker will pose a threat to you and your DukeMatcher buds as well; if you are smashed dead-on by this vehicle, you'll die instantly. Talk about a splitting headache! So...I guess I'll need a story for this level too, huh? Why do we need a story when all you want to do is kill the evil beasties and save the world? Well, for the sake of artistry, I think I'll just have to conjure one up. Here goes nothing! This is the story... Duke Nukem reaches the innards of the city, looks about. From the outskirts in that area, the town didn't seem that large at all. But when the city was breached, New Haven was quite the complex place. Situated just 10 miles south of Los Angeles, this bustling suburbian area was just the place for an unsuspecting populous to be ambushed... ambushed by Dr. Proton and his assorted baddies. Duke Nukem knew what Dr. Proton was coming to do. He was coming to destroy the world. And the world's weakness would be it's ignorance. Who would be more ignorant to violence and chaos than those who've been shielded from it all of their lives? But Duke Nukem had been notified of the alien's forthcoming slaughter; and he was there to stop it. As he stood in the city, the mission ahead became clear: destroy the intruding evil in New Haven, and check into the apartment complex to wait for a pick-up to Los Angeles. Duke Nukem nods at the situation. "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum,' Duke grunts out as he walks past DukeBurger and readies his trusty 9mm, 'and I'm all outta gum." VENGENGE IS NOW. Reading the following level features is totally optional. You are free to skip them at any time. Features in Nemedia 4: *New ART files - TILES014 and TILES015.ART have been added. This has allowed me to create a more believable city enviroment. *Larger, more extensive level design - More original architecture, more enemies and more power-ups than the first three Nemedia MAPS. Plus there's more interactivity with the enviroment, more texture usage. Cunning shading effects and pseudo-lighting FX. Ambient sound effects and tons of other stuff. New level music by Metallica. All this stuff...and believe it or not, there's even MORE!! That's what you get when you download Nemedia 4: Within the City Limits. *Advanced sector manipulation and programming - Cars, trucks, and vans that move independently of each other on a complex road network. Elevators, sloping ground, staircases and lakes in the park all work perfectly and act the way you'd expect them to in real life. *New ambient sounds and an all-new RTS file - Taunt your enemies in 2-4 player DukeMatch with lines from Army of Darkness, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, and Street Fighter: The Animated Movie I've worked hard as hell to bring this level to the masses. I can only think that I've made something special here. I hope you feel the same. -Donaya L.
