Emperor Corrino has issued a challenge that the House which can produce the most spice will control its source, the desert planet Dune, with no rules as to how the Houses can achieve the goal. Meanwhile, Lady Elara of the Bene Gesserit and bound concubine to the Emperor, secretly takes the commander - the player - into one of the Heighliners, a person whose bloodline and future the Sisterhood had checked. According to Elara, they saw many visions of the commander dying many times—and only in one vision does the commander live and even rise to control massive armies and bring peace to Arrakis.

Hello guys!

Hope you all enjoyed the beta version of Vermins of Dune I released last month. Since that, I worked on polishing the already existing content, and my estimates are

Vermins of Dune 1.0.0 will arrive before July (hopefully much sooner)


Balance

One of my focuses now will be to make the faction more balanced. I'll appreciate any help on that, please write down in the comments, how you think the balance can be improved.


Upcoming Changes

Installer

According to your feedback, the installer for some of you couldn't download game files, which prevented a successful game installation. To tackle this problem I added an additional mirror for game data, and the mirror list is now stored on GitHub.

Also we now finally have an installer for the Linux version!

Visuals

Several sprite polishes will also arrive in 1.0.0.

  • Smoother Radar Animation for Outpost
  • Polish for Palace Sprite
  • Loading Screen image will feel slightly less flat

Breaking Change

Custom map folder is now relocated to d2k_smugglers/1.0.0 instead of d2k/{DEV_VERSION}

Other

The update will also include some minor fixes like polished encyclopedia entries.


For those of you that want the freshest news the soonest, this changelog is continuously updated. Please note as this changelog is updated more frequently it might contain some nonfinal statements.

I fondly remember this game :)

Even after seeing the film I don't know why, I must have misread it somewhere, but for years I thought that the spice was actually a really efficient and clean fuel (which was also renewable by the worms) and that is why the planet was sought after, hence the famous "He who controls the spice controls the universe". The one who controls the fuel, controls the space travel.
I know since then it's a drug and it IS some way used for space travel through the navigators, but to this day I still think it makes more sense as a fuel source only (well at least for me)

I have the PS version of this. Graphics are low quality, but 3d. That one actually has two colors per faction. Main color is whatever color is chosen by the player (or just blue, red, green in campaign depending on faction), but additionally Harkonnen always have a red secondary color, ordos have green, and atreides blue regardless of primary color. In campaign there's also yellow for smugglers, brown for Fremen, yellow-green for mercs (or just yellow. When combined with grey primary color it may look different), and purple for Corrino's Sardaukar.

The game had some great features like the sandworm and the pavement, I find it sad that these are not picked up by newer rts games.
