Hey everyone,
As some of you know, I've got some big changes coming up in my life, not least of which is relocation. I'm looking at places and have a heck of a lot to do and plan for, so I'm not devoting a lot of time to D2TGP right now. Any free time I have goes to my personal life or playing Minecraft to chill out. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the forum members who have donated and also to all those who have been working hard to get extra players involved in the community and bring them up to speed once they arrive. I no longer feel like I have quite the burden I used to. Currently the biggest contributors are Puxii (aka Frontliner), Sevain, and TheRaffy. So, if you see any of these players online or have the pleasure to talk to them, rest assured that you are talking to long-time users with a ton of experience and knowledge to pass on.
Thanks for your patience everyone. Things will pick up again in a couple months most likely. I'll keep slowly chipping away at betas though in the mean time.
Jesse

History
Welcome to the development page of Dune 2: The Golden Path. This is my attempt to recreate the original Dune 2 from the ground up, using completely original code and incorporating modern-day RTS features (and compatibility with Windows XP/Vista/7, Linux and Mac), with a focus on the multiplayer experience. The only things taken from the old Dune 2 are the graphics, sound, and gameplay style.
When completed, this game will be available completely free of charge to the public. I may or may not release source code at various points during the project, but will most likely release all upon completion.
The original Dune 2 always has a place in my heart. It reminded me of David Lynch's Dune, which appealed to me greatly as a lad, and even moreso now; The heavy paternal overtones and moody musical score makes me think of my father, who suffers from Lewy Body disease. The game itself also reminds me of an entire summer spent playing the game for hours a day with my big brother Aaron.
This page and project are dedicated to my father.
