1.0.92 Release

From now on, updates will be smaller in scope, in an effort both to reduce my workload, and also reduce the introduction of new bugs.
Changelog since 1.0.91:

Units and Buildings now have a different graphical method of showing selection. I think it's preferable to the blinking.
Custom music is now supported. I have updated the Music download. So from now on, you can add any Ogg Vorbis (.OGG) music file to either of the subfolders underneath the Music folder and they will be used in the game at random. .FLAC files should also work, but sorry, no MP3 support due to licensing restrictions.

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.
