Will you include lasguns?

Can you imagine a Dune game without lasguns? I cant (;

[TeamWolf]

It depends if you are having shields, because in an RTS you can't really stop a unit from firing on a shielded unit.

Uh yeah, we are still alive.

Suggestions, de-motivations, motivations, questions:
- Sorry, I don't like how the Skystriker Tank looks like. I like the Dune2 Missile tank model better, referring to how they look in the building menu, not the in-game looks. I also don't understand the name of this unit, it also hits the ground? Just name it Missile Launcher?
- The basic Combat Tank should be there as well, same like the one in Dune2/Dune2000. I did not like the Emperor Battle For Dune model.
- Base Transporting Vehicle (Name pending) --> Mobile Headquarters? Mobile Outpost? Mobile Command Centre?
- Any thought on the costs for your units? Economics are the most important thing in RTS after combat equations.
- Any thought on possible limitations in number of units? Infinity encourages imbalances.
- Sorry, I cannot program stuff.
- I am hoping on the return of the Ordos APC, Ordos Laser Tank, Atreides Sniper, Atreides Mongoose. They where really fun to play with.
- If the Minotaurus returns, please give it a proper weakness besides of killing it with air. Micro with Laser Tanks did not help much against amass. Perhaps a bit more artillery type, just a bit more range, slower cannon balls for reaching target, slower cool down.
- Atreides APC, could have a Sniper. That would be very unique. (RA2, sniper in IFV, is the only other game I know with a fast sniper)
- Keep up the good work, I am rooting for you.

basicly its a missile launcher, but we want to go away from that boring generic naming scheme. for the skystriker we wanted to go away from a generic, and get a more special, new look.

We dont just recreate dune2/k nor emperor (;

- Base Transporting Vehicle (Name pending) --> Mobile Headquarters? Mobile Outpost? Mobile Command Centre?

We will update the info when we introduce the unit.

some ideas, but that comes with balancing.

- Any thought on possible limitations in number of units? Infinity encourages imbalances.

It's written into our nice gameplay document (;

- Sorry, I cannot program stuff.

to bad. :/

- I am hoping on the return of the Ordos APC, Ordos Laser Tank, Atreides Sniper, Atreides Mongoose. They where really fun to play with.

doesnt look that bad for your wishes (;

- If the Minotaurus returns, please give it a proper weakness besides of killing it with air. Micro with Laser Tanks did not help much against amass. Perhaps a bit more artillery type, just a bit more range, slower cannon balls for reaching target, slower cool down.

again balancing...

Thanks for your input!

Gimme? Or a secret? http://forum.dune2k....tyle_emoticons/default/undecided.gif
Or is it to be found on your site? If so, I guess I am having my blind moments again http://forum.dune2k....tyle_emoticons/default/embarrassed.gif .

Ow, one more thing. Please go dune2 style if it comes to producing units. 1 Factory can build 1 tank. 2 Factories cannot build 1 tank faster. 2 Factories can build 2 tanks at the speed of 1 tank with 1 Factorie.
It's logical and realistic.

Any thoughts on ingame or inbetween map cinematics? Real movie like in C&C/RA?, or created "cartoon" like warcraft 2/3, perhaps cinematics on the map itself like in warcraft3?

I would love to be a beta tester when the time comes.

Edit:
I just discovered your deviantart

cant say anything on that, but we have a somewhat unique solution for this (;

we are far away from any beta...

[X3M]

Did you make other games? So that I can take a look at them? I would like to know the work your group had till this far. Flash games are ok 2.

Shall I give some hints and tips for changing units when you start balancing?

Edit:
Is the project still alive? I mean, last date was September 2011.

[THE AQIB]

is this project still going on?? been following it since 2011 beginning.

[X3M]

I checked their page from time to time. But I suspect they stopped since they needed people to continue working.
They did good work though.

[THE AQIB]

oh.... wish they restart the project.
