that's factually incorrect! Klofkac didn't merely design new features - he designed, essentially, a new programming language we can use to add our own new features to Dune 2000. the custom special weapons in the new ArkDebut mission, for example, are of my own design thank you though there are a lot of things people have said we'll "never have." if that were our attitude, we wouldn't be here ^^ those two in particular are pretty popular requests though. I can poke Klofkac about those again. given progress in other areas, perhaps he's up to investigate the implementation of stuff like this more closely I'm no stranger to the OpenRA side of things either. I appreciate their platform... but it's not d2k! and we d2k folks over here don't intend to just pick up and start implementing everything in their engine. we've got our own to make improvements to, which is important for them too since they've benefit from our advancements and contributions. for instance, quite a few of our new art assets have wound up in OpenRA-based d2k thingiemajiggers. so, I hope they have fun, and I hope they get lots of use out of the next art assets we'll be polishing up over here! it's just not my place. that's all

Update: I went through the text again (3 years!) and archaized it even more (including ꙋ > ѫ where it etymologically makes sense), also terminology and recurring phrases are more consistent The current state of work is available (as Word file) at GitLab - https://gitlab.uzh.ch/ivan.simko/dune_cs I also just published an Old Church Slavonic translation of Little Prince in print – it is also about a young aristocrat lost in a desert, and not so prohibitive from the point of view of costs... But there is one Bulgarian guy, who was intrigued to make a rather limited edition of Дꙋна as well, so perhaps in the next 1-2 years...

A new Dune 2000 clone appeared recently on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/dune/comments/1one55u/dune_rts_prototype_i_made_in_2_weeks_just_to_test/   and an RPG - https://www.reddit.com/r/dune/comments/1n4xuwi/sands_fanmade_free_roguelike_inspired_by_dune/  

since there was some unused content in other westwood games what about dune2k? was there any content planned for dune2k pre-release and was removed on final release? i assume something was because  when was working on my mod i found few weapons that were never used   Hydra Bullet14 non homing rocket mtank sec   from my knowledge the hydra would be aerial bombardment weapon like airstrike since hydra were actually missiles. bullet14 probably another infantry weapon non homing got no idea but maybe something like  ww2 non guided rockets?   mtank sec is flamethrower.   also we have small gun turret then medium gun trret and then large gun turret. did the small one was  deleted ? perhaps the bullet14 was designed for that one?

Ultimately, OpenRA's dune 2000 mod is the only way to open up more gameplay logic. The advancements you guys have made with the original Dune 2000 are incredible. But... you'll still never get proper troop transport logic, nor proper player controllable aircraft units, and many other gameplay features. I recommend you guys check out OpenRA just to dip your toes into the D2K game they've got. I think you'll like the core features.
