So easy a 12 year old can use it.

I've played Duke Nukem 3D since I was 12, and I have been designing levels for it since I was 12 (I'm 18 now). I'm not a computer nerd. I got the book when I was 12 and learned how to design very detailed and creative levels as well as monsters, new artwork, weapons, and even made a few TC's (Total Conversions). If it can teach a 12 year old how to do that, it can teach anybody...

Old School Gaming @ its best

You need to buy this book. DN3D was one of the most original 3d shooters, and there is still quite an active Build community even now, 6 years later.Also, my level is on the CD. So it's a must have.

It was a very helpful and well-written book.

This book has helped me very much in making my levels. I got Duke 3D back when it came out and I've been using it ever since. This book starts with simple editing techniques and moves on to more advanced editing techniques which is good for beginners.

It's the best book for designing levels for Duke3d!!

It told me how to basically do everything you can in build. The book told how to do special effects that ca not be understood if you read the build document that came with Duke3d. I wish they had a version of the book for Duke Atomic. I learned about 2 things from this book that I never knew how to do. Most of if I learned myself.

Excellent for aspiring Level Lords everywhere!

I love this book! I spotted it in a store and my eyes lighted up! Now I could create my own levels! The book is easy to reference and read, and has great pictures explaining how do create anything your heart desires! The CD also includes some great user-created levels that helped inspire me to create my own levels! All my friends have this book or they aren't my friends anymore! Go get it! Wahoo!
