(MrRiggley)How complete is the game?
(Richard Manson)We have finished most of the weapons art, the whole art is like 80% finished (talking about the Demo version) the con hack we will include on the demo version is finished at a 100% we're just finishing the levels and adding some sounds.
(Peter Bailey)Actually, there's a lot more art to be done. I've already finished the models for Vincent and Omega (our new main characters) so they won't take too long. I don't mean to give away too much, but Omega starts out as part of the alien army, so the enemies will look like variants of him. This will make them fairly easy to design. Of course some of them, like the bosses, will be very different. Nobody wants the whole thing to get repetetive.

(MrRiggley)Whats going to be different about this TC, compared to others?
(Richard Manson)This TC involves 2 simultaneous storys, so, there will be 2 main characters insted of only one, both with their own levels, weapons and interests, in some cases you will be able to see these 2 characters "interacting" ala Resident Evil 2.
(Peter Bailey)How this will work is that we will first make Majestic 12 starring Vincent Grass, followed up by Majestic 15 starring Omega. They'll be separate TCs, but overlap a lot, as they're part of the same story.

(MrRiggley)Has any money been put into the development of the TC?
(Richard Manson)No.
(Peter Bailey)No, we're cheap bastards.

(MrRiggley)So how popular has the tc been with people in general.
(Richard Manson):) The people has reacted well to our TC, I got some e-mails of some guys asking me the realase date of the TC.
(Peter Bailey)I don't do any of the PR. Other people mean nothing to me. :)

(MrRiggley)I take it this is a Total Conversion not a Partial Conversion?
(Richard Manson)Yeah, this is a Total Conversion, we are just keeping some Duke basic stuff, like ambience sprites and basic art.
(Peter Bailey)It started out as a PC starring Duke Nukem, until our weapon artist Gino Rossetti suggested we use an original character.
His creation was really a team effort - even his name was a mix of ideas from two people. (Richard thought of Vincent; I thought of Grass.)

(MrRiggley)How many levels, weapons, and con files have be made/hacked?
(Richard Manson)The Con hack, as I mentioned before, is completed, we have 7 new weapons, we have a complete episode, but there will be only 3 levels on the demo.
(Peter Bailey)The con hacking actually has some way to go - I need to program all of the new enemies.

(MrRiggley)What special features will be implemented?
(Richard Manson)The fact of commanding 2 new main characters instead of only one is a new feature!
(Peter Bailey)That's really the big thing for this project. We plan on doing the standard stuff for a TC - all new enemies, art, and cinematic sequences.

(MrRiggley)Do you think it will be the TC of the Y2000?
(Richard Manson)Well...
(Peter Bailey)I really think it will be spectacular. There's really no way to gauge how the audience will react, but I think we should do all right, as far as Duke Nukem TCs go.

(MrRiggley)Is there anything you want to tell people who await your TC?
(Richard Manson)The time has come for better things, just wait until our TC.
(Peter Bailey)Patience, please. We're all trying to make this the best it can be and as some other projects have shown the gaming public, this can lead to delays. But we promise it will be worth it.

(MrRiggley)Is there a demo or a video for people to see how good it is?
(Richard Manson)In fact, yes, there is a video available at the TC website, perhaps, we're working on a new video, showing a lot of stuff than the last one.
(Peter Bailey)The videos don't give much information, but they're a lot of fun to watch. I highly recommend them.

(MrRiggley)How well would it compare to "Ages of Time" and the other great TC's?
(Richard Manson)Ages of times, was a nice TC, but the fact of having all the same stereotype is boring and we want to break away from that.
(Peter Bailey)This will be a very stylish TC. We really can't do too much in the way of story advancement in a Duke3D TC, but we're going to do the best that we possibly can. You'll laugh, you'll cry... and of course, you'll blow away aliens.
