What is the Karma engine I keep hearing about?
The Karma physics engine by MathEngine is just that.. a physics engine. DNF is still using a heavily modified Unreal/UT engine; Karma does not replace the engine, it merely compliments it. Taken directly from the MathEngine website: “Karma provides the ability to add real-time dynamic behaviour to your game objects. Now your characters can roll down a set of stairs, your vehicles can smash into each other and into pieces and your structures can collapse. It adds realism to your environments and introduces a new dimension of exciting gameplay.” Here’s what the CEO of MathEngine, Phil Rogers, had to say about this: “Duke Nukem is one of the strongest original properties in the industry and we’re delighted he’s using Karma. Even we are excited to see what 3D Realms can push Karma to do.
