Re-create Dungeon Keeper II by ourselfes
I had this idea some months ago and i'd be defenitly hard to challange.
We all hoped for the game Dungeons but that failed unfortunately so i thought we take the old game and re-create it with hi-def textures, a working multiplayer and so on. Open Source of course everyone can add changes.
Maybe ya know the Dolphin Project (Wii & Gamecube Emulator), there work alot of coders at the same time. I thought something like that. I guess Dungeon Keeper have alot of fans so this could be done..
What you think?

Also Dungeons isn't the only fish in the DK like sea, there are a fair few games that use somewhat similar mechanics. Evil Genius, Startopia, and the facebook game Dungeon Overlord, are just a few that I can name off the top of my head.

Re: Re-create Dungeon Keeper II by ourselfes
Take the DK fanbase, then subtract everyone who can't: A) Code a game, and B) be dedicated enough to work in a team to code an entire DK sequel. I'll be surprised if you can come up with more than a handful of people.
Also, check out War for the Overworld on the forum, it's basically just that except it's not a direct DK2 remake.

Why would you re-make DKII? Why?

I'd rather see something like KeeperFX for DK2. A more stable and bug free version.

Re: Re-create Dungeon Keeper II by ourselfes
I don't know...if all we have to do is take the original game files and iron out the stability issues and update it for a modern system, it wouldn't be that hard. Considering that KeeperFX has been a success, we're more or less copying the guy who did that, just for a slightly different game. And depending on how much enthusiasm and how many people there are, sure, more bugfixing could be done and maybe even at a stretch prettying up the graphics a bit.
(On a related note, I'd love to see a DK1 installer set up for Windows 7. I can't even get it to install, let alone run KeeperFX.)
