Those are from December though. Are you sure Cryo is still making this after going bankrupt? Good find though. :)

They are being taken over by the Canadian owner of Dreamcatcher aren't they. The name Dreamcatcher came up a lot in my searches.

Actually the developers site said the game was released in September last year.

[Dunenewt]

One of the sites said that it was being made by a Hungarian country under the license of Cryo

Are you going to send them an e-mail?

Or shall I?

[Gobalopper]

I already have. :)

[Dunenewt]

I love you :P j/k j/k

There is a God!!!

So what do you think of the game?

[Gobalopper]

I don't know its hard to make out anything.

[Dunenewt]

Looks like a flying game I think but i'm not sure

[Dunenewt]

It is apparently made by Dreamcatcher who were the company that were going to take over Cryo. I have e-mailed them regarding the game

I just picked up a copy of FH Dune ... Dreamcatcher is who's name is on it.

[Gobalopper]

Which one though? The PC, PS2, or Gameboy version?

PC version.

This is an e-mail which I received from Dreamcatcher Games:

Hi,

Dune, the Ornithopter Assault was something that was being considered

months ago, but from what I have heard, it is on hold indefinitely until

further notice.

I know that this is a disappointment for Dune fans. Sorry.

Another e-mail

Hi again,

Exactly how far the developers got with this I do not know. I suspect

they did not get far. Most developers and publishers will not stop a

project once much capital has already been infused.

Why? I'm not privy to that kind of information : )

Take care and thanks for your interest.

Darn, too bad its been put on hold "indefinitely". I took a look at your screenshot links and it looked like it would be a pretty good game. Of course, its always the cool looking games that get canned.

[Dunenewt]

What I don't understand is that my contact said he suspected that they didnt get very far yet the screenshots suggest they have...Gob, did you get a reply from the contracted company

[Gobalopper]

Nope nothing back from them.
