Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary World Tour, Episode V Alien World Order, Map 1 "High Times"

Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour:

Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour, also known as Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour, is a 2016 special edition remake of Duke Nukem 3D, originally released in 1996. The remake includes all content from Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition, but it adds new levels, enemies, a weapon, and several special features.

World Tour includes four new enemies:

Firefly Troopers, which can fly, shrink themselves, and fire flamethrowers
Overlord Sentries, which are miniature versions of the Overlord
Cycloid Sentries, which are miniature versions of the Cycloid Emperor
A new final boss, the Cycloid Incinerator.

New Weapon:

World Tour features a new weapon known as the Incinerator. The Incinerator resembles the Freezethrower, but it launches fiery projectiles instead of ice. These fiery projectiles burn enemies and coalesce into pools of lava on the ground. The Incinerator shares the same number assignment as the Freezethrower, analogous to how the Shrinker shares a number assignment with the Expander.

The Incinerator was inspired by the Flamethrower that appeared in early prototypes but was scrapped before the 1996 release of Duke Nukem 3D.

New engine:

A team of programmers led by Roger Kort updated the Build engine — which used unique rendering techniques that foreshadowed modern ray casting and portal rendering in order to create 2.5D worlds that were perceived as fully 3D — and reworked it to render the game's levels as true 3D polygonal models, allowing the developers to add dynamic lighting and ambient occlusion. As part of this change, the new engine converts the game's classic parallax skies into 3D skyboxes. In the developer commentary, Kort touts that the new engine behaves more "like you would expect any modern first-person shooter" to behave, particularly because it avoids the distortions that accompany 2.5D graphics when tilting the camera up and down.
An option in the game allows for toggling between the classic and modern renderers.

New audio:

A new soundtrack for Alien World Order was composed by Lee Jackson, original composer for the game's 1996 release. In addition, Duke's one-liners have been re-recorded by voice actor Jon St. John, and some of the sound effects have been updated.
