3D Realms George Broussard said on Twitter today that a developmental milestone has been reached on the long-awaited Duke Nukem Forever.

According to the tweet, the firm has cleared off a large percentage of the game's original goals - and Broussard likes the show "24″:"

71 more tasks to do and we started with probably 800-900."Further:"

Heading home. Got some music for the game and commented. Have a couple more things to close out tomorrow for milestone. 24 is on!!!

"While the information is still a bit esoteric, we can only hope it means we're about to see something other than Christmas wallpaper from the game.

Well hopefully it won't take "FOREVER" for it to come out!

Comments welcome

It's still going to be delayed for a couple centuries...

Half of those 800-900 tasks are a change of engine. Now they only have a few more dozen engines to go through, and we'll get a different trailer from each one.

how long has this game been in development now?

Since 1997. It was using the Quake 2 engine initially.

maybe our grandchildren can one day play the finished version.

You mean our great-great-grandchildren, lol. Seriously... this joke has been going too long... you named it Forever and it'll take forever.. we get it.

their still working on this...!!!

IMPORTANT! Errata:
The thread's title should be read "Milestone hits Duke Nuke'm Forever development. Yep, again"

lol ! when it said development milestone i thought it was because it had been named the longest game in development ever by someone.

Anyways pray took them 10 years and that was pretty good.. but seriously.. get it the fuck out >_> Glad to see they only have around 70 tasks left.. that could mean that if they don't switch it over again we'll see it in a years time or two.
