As the title suggests, this is a video about the history of Ken Silverman's Build Engine. It's the game engine that was used in first-person shooters like Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior and Redneck Rampage.

  • The goblin thing freaked me out

  • i wonder how much money he made off this engine

  • it almost looks like minecraft, the wooden room

  • I Wonder if Duke Nukem Forever would have been a better game if Ken stayed with 3D realms and made the engine himself. I mean all they kept doing was licensing new engines over time, maybe if he was there he would have just constantly updated his engine instead. IDK, just wish DNF wasn't so shit compared to D3D

  • I came for the history, I stayed for the music

  • Our modern games today probably would be a lot different (in a bad way) if it weren't for Ken Silverman's accomplishments.

  • duke nukem,the best game createt by the build enige

  • @TheMechkid Silverman is most certainly alive! In fact, he's only 36 years old now. Here's the stunning part: the reason while he's still so young is because he was contacted by Apogee to create the Build engine BEFORE he even started his first year in college! In fact, he didn't start his college career until three years later, because he was too busy creating one of the most iconic game engines of all time.

  • @Phobosdeimos1 Ken Silverman was inspired by john carmack's work in the first place, and used his idea of sectors, so although Ken is a prodigy, I think that Carmack is a bigger one.

  • Very nice Video!!! It's interesting to see the stages of development of Ken's Build-Engine.
