This is great. It’s so good to have this game maintained by the community. I played this game so much as a kid and have returned to it many times since. I think I’m due another go! 😈
Has some1 tested this under Wine/Proton yet? I love community remakes! ManicMiner (Lego Rock Raiders remake) and OpenTyrian being one of my favourites. So many childhood memories of the 90ies gaming era coming back with stuff like this.
I was thinking about Dungeon Keeper recently. I was really hoping since 2 Point revived Theme Hospital the may do the same for this other Bullfrog classic.
I have not heard of this FX thing. I may have to try it out. I always felt there was a lot more potential to this game that was never recognized. Maybe this will do a better job of it.
I might have to try this. I bought a copy of Dungeon Keeper from the bargain bin, and by that time my PC was so much faster that the AI just steamrolled me every time.
I remember loving this way back in the day. What an amazing labor of love. I hope the original devs can learn how loved their original creation remains.
That was the only truly abysmal early access experience I’ve had. I randomly heard about it, and picked it up in “bedrock beta”. Nothing worked. At all. It should have been pre-alpha internal testing only at that point, but they were selling early access.
Never went back to give it another shot. Maybe it evolved into a decent game, but it left a very bad taste in my mouth to advertise early access on a not even working proof of concept level of work.
I backed it on kickstarter, and played it again recently. It’s pretty good now!
I mean, it was way better than what you describe for a LONG time, but it’s gone through so many updates now that it’s far better than it was even on launch.
