Iain McNeil Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I was surprised and pleased to see that Dune is still alive! My name is Iain McNeil and I was the team leader on the Dune 2000 project & initially on Dune Emperor as well. Its really great to see so many people still getting fun out of a game that we made 5 years ago ( I forget now!)?After 2 years of Making Dune 2000 I had overdosed on RTS gaming and needed a break from it and early on in Dune Emperor I decided I needed to try something new, so that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Will the game be released in North America eventually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain McNeil Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 Yes, definitely. We're in final discussions with a number of publishers & hope to make an announcement in the next week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps501 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I'd love to see a "dune" styled version of the game... or maybe a game "inspired" from dune style play... I'd definate pay a bunch to purchase it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navaros Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 i have one question: will you be hiring professional North American voice actors for the North American version of the game? i sincerely hope so because from my past experience, playing games where the voice-actors were acting out English-language lines even though English was not their first language; did not sound very good at all. ie: the voice-acting was not convincing or believable in the least bit.

Iain McNeil Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 All voices are in Greek, Latin, Persian etc. There are no English voices. E.gThe Romans say"Ave Ceasar""Io Imperator" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infantryman17 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 question: why are the differences between units so little in dune 2000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I don't think he's coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Maybe most RTS games of that era didnt follow the idea that units between sides can be very different and balanced, overall. Maybe they thought it would be difficult to balance the sides ?I am shure its a bloody difficult task. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 It was basically a copy of dune II, thats why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Nope, only atreides can call them in, in the form of an air strike, i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
