I'll probably be making another release soon, but right now I'm pulling my hair out, trying to find a performance issue with pathfinding that crept in at version 1.1.02. If you go back versions you'll see that 1.1.00 had noticeably faster response when moving large selections of units. The problem is that I cannot for the life of me figure out what was added to cause this change in behavior, and I've gone through almost every bit of code in each version.
The good news is that the next version will have reduced network traffic needs, but until I can get the local performance issue resolved (which also affects 1.1.05), you won't even notice the improvement.
Also keep in mind that I will be working a lot and then leaving for my long vacation (DONATE PLEASE!), so I probably won't be making more updates until the next year. If I do, they will be mostly bugfixes.

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.
