NEZLeader - Build was not based on Id Tech 1 code - it was a completely original engine that used similar concepts (sectors, sprites), but doesn't to my knowledge use any Id Tech 1 code. People using assets from other games in GZDoom does not mean those games are in any way related to the Doom engine, for example, the Blood GZDoom project started because Atari (current owners of the Blood IP), refused to release the source code for Blood (which had added modifications to the base Build engine).

Wow this is pretty exciting!! I remember using the old build engine and this looks like it could be really fun to try!

This is insane, I was just watching some of GameHut's retro sonic videos and thought "Ooo, I should watch that BUILD engine video again". And here this is, uploaded 5 days ago! Thanks so much for your work!!

I remember trying to use the editor before I knew anything about anything when it came to computers and that experience alone drove me to crazy lengths to do the smallest things because I thought that was what was expected in the use of computers.

What a fantastic video! Ken's efforts to make his BUILD engine fun and accessible resulted in many of us to lock ourselves away in the late 90's to create maps for DN3D. Silverman was certainly a computer prodigy of his time. Were there any commercial outings for the BUILD2 engine?

@KVELLER Changing the engine for a game becomes trivial, the more modular your code base is.

Multi-user editing sounds like a cool feature to build a game around -- like a base building game where every player has a core and builds a base around it using limited resources that have to be mined on a randomly generated planet. The base can be be damaged by explosives or mining equipment. Also the builder needs to leave a path from the core to the outside for his own units to travel on. players invade each other's worlds to steal cores, the one item that cannot be crafted. Wait... does this game already exist?

I tried random stuff until i figured all the elements and how to make a map and it is very easy to make Duke Nukem levels.

It would be amazing to see all the build engine games ported to build 2 and re-released.

There was a really cool voxel engine he worked on some time after the original Build engine, too, which is why I'm guessing Build 2 has voxel support

What exactly did you mean by “taking over the project?” He was teaching a random kid and now I can’t imagine anything other than him realizing what was happening, suplexing the kid out of the chair and then continuing to work on it.

The Build Engine, for all of its limitations, was pretty versatile, except that it wasn't true 3D. Multiple floors in a level were hard to implement and could only be connected vertically using some specific type of sector effector that was a warp zone, if I recall correctly.

It would great be if Monolith used BUILD2 to create a new Blood game if they do not want to make a big-budget game using the latest LithTech engine they made. In some ways it would be better if they made it like the first one, using digitized sprites from clay models ( for example take a look here blood-wiki.org/index.php/User:Tchernobog/archive/workshop ), I like the art style.
