@Zolden: Go

Don't worry, images will come soon!

I'm at the very beginning of the game, even if I started this project in 2010...

I'm always open to suggestions or ideas, but primary my game is a mix of many popular RTS. When the game start, you will have 3 choices of differents scenarios and each of them have unique difficulties, like worm activity, seismic activity, different lighting depending on the coordinates, starting and harvestable amount of resources, etc.

To add more realism, I also added different type of primary objectives, like capture the flag or king of the hill, but you can always decide to destroy your ennemy like a normal team death match. When a scenario is choosen, the game will generate a random terrain with creep and cliffs (like a normal game with choke points) and you will have like 30 seconds to decide where you will spawn your base. Like the RTS Z, there will be sometimes empty vehicules that your infantry will be able to capture and drive.

I have redesigned the principe of structure, so any building will block vision and events like worms or meteor will affect the footprint of this builing, not its center point. Every unit in the game, including some kind of buildings, will have an effective inventory with items like upgradable armor, weapon, etc. and each unit will also have an experience bar that will work like heroes in Warcraft 3.

There will be 3 resources in Dune : metallide (like mineral), spice (like vespene) and water (a time of day dependent resource). Water will be the most valuable resource because you will need it to every living unit, technologies and some kind of buildings. As the wind traps only works during night, you can imagine that, in the always-sunny polar summer, this resource should be very well spended.

This roughly resume my game, but if you want to have example of things that will be in my map, I made some libraries and here are the links :
