nampigai Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 ....it had been a RPG instead of RTS? I was discussing this with a friend, who's playing SW: galaxies. I know Dune hasn't the same apeal as Star Wars, but still...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I don't think so. . . . Dune Generations on itself wasn't bad. It looked quit prommising from a point of view. It was the downfall of the company that caused it I thought / think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Let's see, does making an RPG automatically cause millions of dollars to fall from the sky onto the roof of your bankrupt buisness? 'Cause if it doesn't, than no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 mayby not ..Generally I guess that there are just a few good and massivly sold RTS games on the market. More RPG and even more FPS games. Not to forget all those 5-Euro kids games . .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 I just think that RPG and FPS kinda games appeal more than RTS especially when they are netbased but maybe it just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidu Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Well, after reading the books, playing DUne1, the RTSs: DUne2, Dune2k, Emperor, anyone would want to take a closer look at this world. Meaning that they would like to BE IN IT. A RPG, or a FPS would be great for this. As style (architecture, dressing, atmosphere) I love the DUne1, for example. Well, in any case, a RPG is more likely to be liked than a RTS. Why? Because you can CREATe yourself again and again in the game.Take a look at NFS Underground. The ability to customize the car has made even me a NFS fan. Ussually I HATE racing games.So, such a game (RPG) could have more chances of success that a RTS.

Egeides Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 DG was already a RPG in the sense that it WAS roleplay. Anyway, it seems that it wasnM't going real good in the development chamber at the end. tHEY HAD TROUBLE WITH THEIR engine and so on.... a developer even said in a fan forum that it was doomed anyway because of a totally unadapted programming language.

DooM Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 That's always hard, game development is a hard job, but to abandon a project just because the programming language is unadapted...I think that's just a lack of motivation, if you can't get it to work in a certain language, write it in another... It's may be as easy as it sounds, but if you really really really want the game to be finished someday you might not have another choice.I myself write in Delphi, and so far I haven't come across anything that can't be accomplished with that, even while it is a RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool it is possible to override any built in functions with other functions to make it work better for your project.I think they just needed a bad excuse to abandon a game which they didn't enjoy themselves...

ken124578 Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I think the question would be, would dune generations have survived if frank herbert's dune was a succes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/screenshots/gs/feature_previews/dune/1/dune_screen009.jpgYes, I think it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sober Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Dude. I was looking forward to it when it still existed.I wish someone took it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 It can't be taken up. It was made in a special language invented at cryonetworks. The crew there were aksed more than once if it was possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 What? SCOL? It's now used for virtual dating or something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seishin Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I hope that someone will finish this project DG and someday I will be able to play this game :D (sorry for my english :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
