DUNE 3: Back 2 Desert!

If you're too anxious to read my stuff go to download now.

This piece of work was developed almost many years ago: summer of 1995 before Warcraft2 and C&C have arrived. Now it may look old but anyway it is here as part of my history.

Additional disclaimer

This game was NOT created by Westwood Studious and is NOT a trademark of them. Do not call then for support ;). And it is NOT Dune2 files as is was 100% re-coded by me. Well, graphics of course has been ripped off, but who cares? you?

Game

Features working NOW:

2D engine (not the best realisation but it works);
internal Map Editor for terrain creation;
internal Scenario Editor for unit/structure placements: allows to import Dune2 scenario files!!!;
external Sprite Editor included in version with sources;
some extra utilities for further game development provided.

What is NOT working:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is limited
Network Support (actual network routines are not written, but game engine prepared for up to 8 players)
Music drivers are removed as they were proved to be too buggy -- they are 16bit and do not cooperate well with 32bit programs;
some minor features I already forgot about.

I am NOT going to continue this project as it was suspended almost 2 years ago. However if you want to finish it I will try to help with pleasure.

Hardware requirements:

at least 486dx2/66 (actually was developed on this PC)
4Mb or RAM;
VGA on local bus (VLB or PCI) for maximum frame rate (18.2fps)
Microsoft compatible mouse

Please note that it will NOT work properly under Windows 95/3.1x or OS/2.

It requires pure DOS to run! No memory managers needed as it is a 32bit DOS Extender application.

Dune3 (415kb) just the game itself without odd games development stuff.

Thanks!
