Ken Silverman / Duke3D interview

Dukeworld heeft een interview met Ken Silverman, de gozer die grotendeels verantwoorlijk was voor de bouw van de Build engine voor Duke Nukem 3D. En hij is pas 23...

Ken Silverman, maybe you've heard of him, maybe you've haven't. He made his exit from the gaming industry almost as quickly as he entered it. He's had a hand in many released games, from many different game developers. Although others at 3D Realms, mainly Todd Replogle (Duke Nukem 3D) and Frank Maddin (Shadow Warrior) have had a hand in game specific enhancements, Ken Silverman is the primary architect of the Build engine. Ken perhaps said it best himself, with the following message hidden within Duke Nukem 3D, "BUILD engine&tools programmed by Ken Silverman of E.G. RI. (c) Copyright 1995 Ken Silverman. Summary BUILD = Ken. !!!!"

Ken took some time out of his schedule, and met us on Undernet IRC's #3drealms channel. We threw a series of questions at Ken, who is now 23, and is a full time student at Brown University and as it turns out, it was Ken's first time ever on IRC.
