Dune II from Westwood Studios is without doubt one of the RTS that turned the muse of the style. For this reason it’s thought of one of the influential video games of all time, primarily due to its setting. In spite of everything, if Frank Herbert’s books are nonetheless being tailored into motion pictures and video video games, there is a purpose for it.
Anyway, different traditional video games had been created primarily based on the Dune 2 system, such because the Command & Conquer sequence, created by Westwood himself, and the Warcraft sequence. So it is no shock that somebody determined to do a remaster. What’s shocking is the platform chosen: Amiga.
That there’s somebody greater than Robert Kuhn, one of many programmers of the unique recreation. His love for the outdated Commodore 16-bit platform pushed him to create a brand new model of Dune 2 for the AGA (Superior Graphics Structure) and OCS (Unique Chip Set) chipsets.
By studying his Patreon, we be taught that Kuhn believes that “the sport on the Amiga didn’t dwell as much as expectations. It was distributed on 5 floppies and suffered from fixed disk modifications. The DOS model’s sensible opening sequence was severely reduce. The soundtrack was restricted, and the AGA variations “Gameplay on the Amiga was additionally barely reduce down as a result of restricted assets out there for the sport.”
Subsequently, his objective is to appropriate these errors within the new version: “My objective is to recreate Dune 2 for Amiga from scratch, releasing it within the kind it ought to to be at the moment, that’s, to repair all the primary issues, in addition to others reminiscent of the shortage of PAL assist.”
