Dune House Atreides / Dune Games / New ideas for a Dune game...

dogsolitude_uk May 1st 11:23 AM
Hi,

I've been playing the wonderful Thief 2: The Metal Age, and thought it'd be a really good idea to make a similar game set in the Duniverse featuring a Fremen character.

A stealthy first-person job, with assassination and tracking missions, hunter-seekers, poison, crysknives, beautifully rendered desert graphics, move silently without being seen, sabotage missions...

What do you lot reckon?

Anyone fancy lobbying Ion Storm? :D

Doesn't Thief 2 use the Unreal engine? If so, I can make you some nice maps.
All you need now is some coders, modellers, animators and you can start making your own mod.

In fact, you could just use UT2004 for it which would be a lot better. It can handle some nice outside and inside maps. Great for moddeling and animating some weapons and such.

If you want to get a mod like this off the ground, start asking around here:

If you do start, know that I would be more then willing to be your mapper.

BTW. You don't need any skills yourself if you can just lead a group, be a sort of spokesperson and make sure the mod has a site or at least a forum somewhere.

Thief 2 uses the Dark Engine...

UT2004 could be a plan though...

Hmmmm....

I think there should be Dune Online RPG you would play as any charater as you like and you lern and grow. you chose paths and careers and the such. I would also like a Another RTS Dune game that would play like C&C gnerals so if you biuld like to building then you can have unit come out of the build by seltcing it inset of Toggle Bar.

This is not an RPG or RTS, it's an FPS. You could play a fremen assassin on a dangerous mission on Dune to kill someone of Imperial important in some sort of Imperial fortress.
You could have many different weapons, like the Crysknife, a maula pistol etc....

Idaho's idea was pretty close to what I had in mind... Only more os a stealth game (like Thief or Splinter Cell) than a shooter...

An RPG could be fun though :)

Well, you could make stealth missions in FPS games.
It requires some coding on the AI of your opponents since they shouldn't be running around guns blazing everywhere.

BTW Thief 3 uses the Unreal engine, I'm sure of that.
