you probably shouldent just mimick everything from Dungeon keeper... maybe add something of your own aswell?
Blasphemy! Burn the witches! :D
Oh, wait.
Actually, getting DK to look like SC2 is probably the biggest improvement DK could have... I can't think of anything that could be added as far as I'm concerned, because the DK gameplay works fine as it is. Adding something might just ruin the balance, I personally would focus on improving the visual effects and general appearance rather than adding my little touch in the gameplay.
Baaaaah, I'll play DK again, just to be sure I'm not saying shit...
I just don't understand why peoples don't share his map. Why not? Why can't all people learn from ur map to make another better map? Icefrog take a concept of AOS to make a Dota map..
I would not release my maps unlocked if they were actually good. Because things on the internet spread really, really fast, and everybody can get a hold of the map if they want and steal it. Some tutorials would be great, but don't badger him to release it.
Too bad there isn't any demo available yet... I checked the official website and their forums, but no dice. The video doesn't really show anything from the actual game, and what we can see is a bit lame. I sure hope the released game will be better, and I'm pretty sure every DK fan wants the same. The studio behind the project have a lot of work to do if they want to please both early fans of DK and gamers who never heard of it before. It's more than risky for them, it's almost suicide. Judging by the quality of their models and the animations, I fear the worst... They have 3-4 months to do something decent out of it, I don't expect this game to look better when it's out... Doesn't mean the gameplay will suck, but a nice appealing game is way more pleasant to play. Especially with the PC gamers configurations nowadays.
Actually, after reading a bit in their forum, here is an interesting quote from one of the team members:
Sorry, but Dungeons will be Dungeons and Dungeon Keeper will be Dungeon Keeper.
A total rip-off would
a) be total boring for us to make
b) possibly cause legal action if we use essential creatures like Horny
c) never satisfy the fans, because they'd expect much more than a graphics update
So don't expect it to be a DK3, or even a DK2+... :(

Locking your map won't really prevent someone from stealing it if they really want to, though... And it won't prevent liars to claim it's their own either. I just saw yesterday that a website was blogging videos of my Ikari Warriors project. They embedded one directly from my Youtube profile and copy/pasted the content of the description as an article. They never asked my consent, and since the description in my videos are pretty confusing (using first person to talk about my projects), they could almost have claimed the map is their own. Still, I dare them to try... :D From now on I'll be very careful when uploading content, making sure that people can see a link to the original file...
Here's a doodad called Monolyth Crystals that might look more natural for the treasury room.
Also, you should use dots or lighting to differentiate who a tile belongs to. At the very least it should be a streetlight with a color matching the color of the owning player.

Mmm nice model but still I would like some kind of pedestal to put this crystal on it. My goal is to make people understand that the room is a treasury even when empty!
I can't use colors for this purpose because they are disabled on low/medium graphic details, people with low computers would not understand who is the owner of the tile!
In this exact moment I was able to complete my room build/sell triggers.
Now I'm able to create/sell rooms and automatically detect if 2 or more rooms must be merged or splitted.
Now I'm still missing the complex room decorations but when I'm able to complete the room system I will prepare another video ;)
nice progress. There's a doodad that looks like craters, too busy to find it right now. try searching "crater". It'll make an interesting "bowl" to hold your monies in.

The crater looks perfect, thankz :D
I will always ask you for decoration suggestions ;)

I wish it could be possible to change the normal mouse cursor to a 3d evil hand :D
BTW a dungeons gameplay trailer has come out

Yep, It's soo sloppy and animations suck :P

Anyway...looks great, keep up the good work!

@Bibendus: Go

I Loved DK2 soo much! This is looking amazing!!
im so excited!
Could you upload that model for the block of rock/dirt?
It quite sucks but... ok ;)

I won't upload the other type of blocks until the release of the first version of Hive Keeper
The crater looks perfect, thankz :D
I will always ask you for decoration suggestions ;)
Too bad...I cant get the model to import with the texture correctly..Whatever. Thanks anyway!
Are you placing the texture in the correct path? Assets/Textures?
Dungeons is gonna be a single player game, isn't it? That's probably the reason why the Dungeon Keeper series never made it.
Dungeon keepers game had multiplayer gaming, at least DK2. I don't remember if DK1 had it too.
BTW there were few people playing it :|
Really dungeons doesn't have a multiplayer option??? Where did you read it?
