Wanton Destruction
Here's a few (newly written) words about the add-on from both Anthony & Charlie (then of Sunstorm) about Wanton Destruction:
Anthony Campiti: When Shadow Warrior was released, it quickly became the favorite game in the office. Who could forget those damn sticky bombs! When we were given the chance to create an add-on for SW, we jumped in determined to make it the best add-on product on the market. Our level designers did incredible work and stretched the limits of the BUILD engine. Unfortunately, due to various circumstances Wanton Destruction was never released. Years went by and we moved onto dozens of other projects. But, recently I was going through our software archives and I found a CD-R labeled 'Add-on Archive 1'. I'm happy to say it includes a complete archive of the Wanton Destruction project. I quickly sent and email to 3DRealms so they could get into the hands of the Shadow Warrior fans! Enjoy more Lo Wang!

Charlie Wiederhold: "I want to thank Anthony Campiti (who founded Sunstorm Interactive and gave me my first professional gig in the industry) for finding and passing along a CD of Wanton Destruction he found recently. We've been looking high and Lo for it for years but it seemed lost to the ages. I personally think this is the best Build Engine add-on Sunstorm ever produced and I was always sad the Shadow Warrior fans never got to enjoy it.
Duke It Out in DC, Duke Carribean and Cryptic Passage were all created by a handful of people (literally, you could count them all on one hand). In 1997 Sunstorm was contracted to do two add-ons at the same time, so we decided to hire level designers from the Build community as contractors for the majority of the levels and Robert Travis and I worked with these designers to pull the whole thing together. When you read the credits list you might recognize a couple of them as they have gone on to professional careers in the gaming industry.
The Wanton Destruction add-on was completed and approved by 3D Realms, but unfortunately didn't go any farther. Shadow Warrior was a dream to build levels for so I'm happy that the work all the designers put into it will finally see the light of day. Even if a little late. Enjoy!

More words from Charlie : " Wanton Destruction was one of the many Build Engine add-ons created at Sunstorm Interactive. On this project I provided two single player levels and four multiplayer levels. I also managed the rest of the level designers who were mostly external. Providing technical, aesthetic, and gameplay feedback, as well as continued to maintain the GAMER program for managing Sunstorm add-ons (though this was eventually replaced with a proper Windows Installer). I can directly attribute the work I did on this add-on to finally getting hired at 3D Realms. When they decided they wanted to hire a level designer for DNF they talked about the airplane level from this add-on and called me up. Patience and practice do indeed pay off.
As this was ramping down I knew I wanted to move on to bigger and better projects versus doing add-ons and Deer Hunter titles forever. I applied and was given an offer from Ritual, though I stayed long enough to finish the parts I was responsible for. All of the new art and creatures were created after I left, but the maps I created didn’t change.
Unfortunately due to the low sales of Shadow Warrior, it was never commercially released even though it had been approved by 3D Realms. This was disappointing for me personally as I was very happy with how my levels had turned out and was looking forward to player reactions."
