Notes

  • While the file modified dates were scrubbed by the leaker, the leaker identified the build as from October 26, and comments in files are as late as October 24th. The main DukeForever.exe file has an internal build timestamp of August 21st
  • Included with this release is the game's editor(CannibalEd.exe and DukeEd.exe), source code and some optional stability patches. A separate download containing a press kit was also released.
  • This build is in a very unfinished state. Much of the first level is completable, albeit it with cheats needed as there is a point where the game spawns you inside of an object.
    • Many of the maps beyond that point seem to lack much in the way of objects or events. There is a functional Multiplayer component, however the AI for bots appears to be nonexistent.
  • The Console can be opened with Tab or F12. Cheats are largely the same as unreal/unreal Tournament 1999. For example, typing in "ghost" will enable noclip, and typing in "allammo" gives you all of the basic weaponry.
