Another Dune RPG?

[Dunenewt]

If the next Dune game is an RPG what suggestions would you make?

[gryphon]

an more open story line. . . reach a goals but find your own way on how to do so. . .

[Dunenewt]

So you mean one set in an alternate time line or just more leniency on how you complete the missions?

[gryphon]

same timeline. . . only with the optio nof not going from A - B - C. In Frank Herbert's Dune it all was prety liniar. Not to mention Dune1. Make it so you can choose what you are going to do .. . get help from the Fremen . . cool down and be an anonimous citisen, mayby join the BG or Guild .. start an coupe d'etat with the Harkonnen's own men .. .who knows. Just not follow a storyline that has been preset.

So maybe not play as Paul then?

Main character = Member of some house.

Free character creation.

[Dunenewt]

The game would last a lot longer that way.

[Dunenewt]

Multiplay would be a good feature as well with team objectives which you can only complete with team work..

[exatreide]

If its like Star Wars Knights of the old Republic it would be good...The Tatoonin levels reminded me of Dune so much....

Well, since no one here that can has been reading the Sardaukar2000 Development Status thread, they wouldn't know this, but.... the Sardaukar2000 Game Engine will support RPG style games. Once we're done with the current game, we intend to make it available to who ever wants to make one, if not us :)

[Dunenewt]

Yes I read it but it was in the Dune Editing wasn't it?

About a Dune 1 remake?

[Jack Leaf]

No, Sardaukar2000 I think.

By the way...

Read this, if you want to know about cool multiplay Dune FPS. It's mod, but the game that it's based on costs 4 $.

[Jack Leaf]

I know, but Inoculator9 always refers to Sardaukar2000. :P

[Dunenewt]

Now I'm confused!

[Inoculator9]

Of course I always refer to it! It's my... baby! Or, vaguely similar ;)

[Dunenewt]

Sounds like Gob talking about this site.

[Mahdi]

Not really. He usually sounds more like "...if only they knew about the trojan this site acts as, muhahahaha".

[Dunenewt]

lol

Now back on topic, Inoc, if you could make a RPG with your engine what standard graphics would there be?

[Inoculator9]

We're thinking of an interface similar to Dune 1 but it might be possible to get a basic 3D game. A lot harder, but after some work, possible.

[Dunenewt]

lol

Well when you start to make it make sure you post here for any ideas and suggestions.

[Inoculator9]

Also, the Homeworld Engine is public now, so you may see a 3D Dune Space RTS as well ;) A long time from now though ;D

[Dunenewt]

lol

A very long time from now!
