>Interesting that you are now playing a strong independent woman given the fact 3d Realms gave us Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior. Times have changed and while I am okay with it I still feel that it is forced given the attitude of their past MCs. Ion Maiden was originally pitched as a short prequel to Bombshell, which released back in 2016 and was supposed to release alongside it around the same time. Eventually it just became its own project, I'm sure mostly because of the increased interest in classic fps over the past few years.
The character was originally envisioned for one of the previous iterations of Duke Nukem Forever, but was scrapped. Eventually a new Duke Nukem game was being developed by Interceptor, which Gearbox had an issue with because they were supposed to be in charge of any new Duke Nukem projects after Forever, or whatever. Interceptor switched Duke out for Bombshell, redesigned her a bit, and released the game (which sucked). Really the only reason Bombshell is a thing at this point is so 3D Realms can use her as a stand-in for Duke since they no longer own the IP.
Impressive technology, good gameplay (though Blood still beats it in some places), but really bland protagonist and questionable gun balance

No excuse.

Build 2 released when IM was in development, it's not complete and it's not open sourece like Build. I'd like to see Ken Silverman supporting his engine and some dev making shit with it, but it won't happen
>the original build games came out in like 8 months from scratch False. Also IM has no budget and the devs aren't working 24/7 in this like the other games did. In adition, the tools are outdated despite Build being opensource

I played the demo. Id rather just go play duke nukem and the expansions

I have no problems at all with strong independent women, in fact I love it Except when it's used to virtue signal, which is unfortunately the case here. I'll still play it and love it but fuck giving these cucks any money
And she was much better during most of her past concepts and then they went all "oof" and "yikes" and "we gotta be more mature about it nowadays" bullshit

Bombshell was originally created to be Duke Nukem's sidekick in Duke Nukem Forever.

They were made by veterans of genre who worked decades making games since their teenage years.
