Dune 2 The Maker - Demo 3.5 - Atreides mission 9 - part 2

D2TM, demo 3.5 using MT32 mp3 add-on. Showing new repair / pickup return
feature. Including rally point setting (select structure, press CTRL and click
on the map).

Part 2 - finishing off the enemy. You can see some stuttering; 2 reasons:
- 1 heavy background copy going on
- 2 a lot of units and activity in this very little beta engine.

Forgive me if this has been asked before.

I know you used a cheat to get tons of credits but did you also use a cheat to be able to build that many units?

I remember one of the things that made the original more difficult was that you could only have a limited number of units in the field and it simply wouldn't build more. Probably that was because of limitations of the original hardware but still, limiting the number of units would make the gameplay match the original better...

@jacgoudsmit the limit of this game is 300 units in the game. So this is no cheat, but the actual limit in this remake is higher than the original. Bringing in a limitation is certainly a good thing for gameplay, ie, look at starcraft 2 :)

I love the new lighting effects when a building or vehicle explodes. Will this indicate the range of some sort of splash damage for units that stand too close to exploding buildings/vehicles/units?

[stefanhen83]

@GasSnake2003 It was being implemented so it looked cool ;) But indicating splash damage is not a bad idea imo :)

Pure awesome thx Stefanhen83 :))

[stefanhen83]

@isaimon Thanks!

@truelazerlight true. But keep in mind that I used a cheat in that video to get a ton of resources. I agree though that the difficulty should be increased.

[truelazerlight]

with the game so much easier to handel the game has to be much more difficult, or else it will be a cakewalk. Even the original was a bit too easy.

So much better than Dune 2000, coz U can feel the old charme. Thanks a lot!

@jobrook911 You're probably refering to dune 2000?

true. It was for many just a Redalert using a Dune tileset.

There are more initiatives to make the old dune 2 relive, in a bit modern UI.
