Melange Update

[Gobalopper]

Just received this from Stuart about his outline for a possible Dune game. Take a minute and read, Melange: Conquest of the Desert Planet, if you haven't already or discus it on our messageboard.

Greetings to you all!

Thanks for your e-mails regarding the Melange design document, and I appreciate your interest and enthusiasm.

Please don't e-mail me personally to give me your views, though. If you feel so inclined (and I hope that you do), please state your appreciation as comments on the messageboard area provided.

We are going to let Westwood know about this article soon, in the hope that they might produce such a software title in the future.

However, the opinions of one man hold little sway in the competitive capitalist world of computer gaming, so I wanted to get some other Dune2k fanatics involved, and that's where you come in.

If you would want to see this product on the shelves, please say so on the message board (words of elaborate praise would go down well there too). Then when Westwood comes a-looking, they will know from the messageboard petition that the idea is popular, and that should therefore increase the chance of its publication. So please spread the word; the more names we can get on the message board, the greater the chance that Westwood will make a Dune sequel.

Of course, if there's anything about the design that you'd like to discuss, improvements that you think could be made, errors in grammar or spelling that you'd like to point out, and so on, please e-mail me. But let's please put the words of appreciation on the site, that way you can help to convince Westwood that you're in agreement on the initation of such a project.

Assuming that the petition looks long enough by then, I plan to mail Westwood in about a month to let them know about Melange.

Thanks again, guys. Long live the fighters!
