Sardaukar2k/New Dune Game

[Inoculator9]

Myself and Anders are currently making a new dune game with graphics similar to Dune2k. It is playable from the Imperial point of view only. Here are the Imperial units:

Imperial Infantry

-Imperial Trooper

-Imperial Sardaukar

-Imperial Elite Sardaukar

-Imperial Engineer

-Imperial Scout Trike

-Imperial Assault Quad

-Imperial Combat Tank

-Imperial Missile Tank

-Imperial Siege Catapult

-Imperial Laser Tank

-Imperial Light Harvester

-Imperial Heavy Harvester

-Imperial Mobile Construction Vehicle

-Imperial Sardaukar Bashar

There are several subgroups that serve as enemies.

We are both open to any suggestions you might have :)

[FireSnake]

That'd be pretty cool. :)

No suggestions at this phase though. I'll throw You my two cents when something pops up.

[Inoculator9]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'll try and post one of the unit models when Anders has it finished.

[FireSnake]

I'll be eagerly waiting. :)

I've attached the alpha version of the tile engine, made by Anders, which will eventually be developing maps for the game. It is very basic, and serves almost no practical purpose yet.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Looks pretty good, but I don't understand it.

[Inoculator9]

That's because it is not the finished version. The finished one will have a more understandable interface, with some better instructions.

[Frodo]

i wish you good luck with the project, and of course, if you need any help, just ask :).

[EmperorsElite]

being an imperial i think that that would be a mad game. please tell us when u have a finished version i would love to see it.

[Cyborg]

That's because it is not the finished version. The finished one will have a more understandable interface, with some better instructions.

I started programming on friday.

What you see there is a very, very early alpha mapeditor :)

Here is an early tank model made by Anders.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Is this gonna become a 3D FPS-like game ???

Good luck,

from me. ;)

[Cyborg]

No, It's going to be a 2d sprite-animated game.

I have fixed the laserturret on the tank, but we need someone good at texturing...

Frodo?

[Frodo]

yep, id be glad to. i will get to work right away. just gotta wait till after easter. just send me an im, or meet me on msn tommorrow and tell me how you want them.

[lowzeewee]

You can build units then? ;)

[Frodo]

anders is a great 3D-modeler. i think he is going to use the models and turn them into sprites. texturing is fairly easy, and i like doing it. what do you mean lowzeewee?

[Inoculator9]

I think he means, you can build units in the game. If this is what you mean then yes, you can build units.

And yes, he is going to turn them into sprites.

Your assistance would be much appreciated Frodo :)

And I forgot to mention this... I have been talking with Gob on and off, and it is possible that Anders and I will get some fed2k webspace, a dune2k subdomain, and even a board when the game is near completion.

[Cyborg]

Thanks for participating, Frodo!

I'm looking forward to see your textures.

Do you still have 3dstudio max?

[Vanguard3000]

I'm pretty useless at... everything. Nevertheless, I'm rooting for you, and would love to test it when you have an alpha ready. :)

[Inoculator9]

Thx Van :)

The alpha will probably just be the first level, more of a demo. A beta will eventually come out so that we can tweak the health and weapons.

Here is the redone model of the laser tank.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[ilexatrei]

Looking forward to seeing this come out. :D

[Inoculator9]

Thank you :) Would you be interested in testing aswell?

We probably wont allow anyone to test everything, but some feedback on the following will eventually be needed:

-unit ideas

-game engine

-tile engine

-concept

I will accept sign-ups for these positions through IM here at Fed2k, or email.

[Cyborg]

I have hired Frodo as a texturer.

However, we might need another one to texture the models as it will be time consuming...

[Frodo]

i still have 3ds max, that might make it alot easier to texture them. should i texture the .max file, or the image file?
