Recently rumors flew around saying that key members of the Duke Nukem Forever team left, indicating of yet more delays (big surprise). President of 3D Realms, George Broussard, went on the forums and denied any problems, saying it was a common thing among companies.

“There’s honestly nothing to be concerned about. People leave. People come. There’s staff on the project you don’t know about. You know some, you don’t know most. There’s truly nothing to worry about.

He further went and spoke about the development, and surprisingly, the game is “almost” done, and currently in “polish” stage.

“Physics and animation systems are virtually finished and shippable. It’s simply maintenance and polish from here on out. We haven’t needed to make substantial changes to those systems in months. The changes we have made were made without great effort.”

After 10 years in development, I have no idea what his definition of “polish” is. I recall it was in “polish” 4 years ago.
