Hello Achaean

* The game is still in beta indeed, but worry not because the estimated release date is February 2015.
* Though the game is very similar to DK it has some new mechanics too: potions, beasts, the Veins of Evil (tech tree), rituals, new terrain types, etc.
* The devs are tying their best to get the multiplayer working atm, but if you Port forward you can play online with your friends on the current public build.
* IMO the graphics and visual effects are quite beautiful, especially when you compare it to the original DK. :p

It was due for release aug 2013 according to their website and the game itself, but that kinda changed at some point into "indefinite". I guess they wanted to really throw a lot of extra stuff into the game. Which, IMHO pulled it away from the formula... I'm hoping it ends up as fun as the originals.

Yeah I've started regretting supporting this quite some months ago...

i have teh faith it will be good. i wasnt keen at first with the whole skill-tree aspect, but having played around with it i see it adds so much more depth to the game. its a natural progression in the series, so it feels. If they remade it eactly same as DK2 there would more than likely be some major issues with the EA copyright trolls, and beside, what a waste of talent that would be... sure it would be nice to have a DK2 with updated graphics, but an independant "spiritual" sequel which was a blatent re-iteration? That would get boring real quick, and compltely panned!

what about.. a dungeon keeper 1 or 2 in hd remade so it works with todays resoloutions and sound.. A bit like age of empires hd as an example.. multiplayer would have to work again and if possible patched to have monsters higher then level 10 with a couple of extra rooms and features... sell it as a remake.. even people who have never played dungeon keeper years ago would buy it to check it out..

i think thats a great idea Achaean! I was going to get Age of Mythology remake/enchanced but the overpricing turned me right off. Still cant believe its being sold as over £20 while on sale. The original still works fine, i play it every now and then but this new one adds little so im told.. err. sorry going off on a tangent there lol. But yes, love your idea, for the right price!

[Achaean]

I agree to what your saying.. the original does work fine but to some extent on my system.. I found the GOG game of dk2 worked.. but i had so much trouble trying to get the aspect ratio to go full screen.. it would be nice to just play it off steam and have it has a collection.. i have bought this game also off origin just recently, i though they may have improved playability options.. but there was no difference as buying it off GOG.. For how old this game is i probably would not go on as much and complain, but its just such a good game for its time..

i find the only thing wrong with the old dk 1 and 2 is the ai is really out dated they are doing to much to this game

hopefull they release the single player for this game soon. Getting tired of the multiplayed stuff. No one wants multiplayer for a DK style game. ITs about the engroseing single player enviroment.

the main campaign is not coming out until final release unfortunately, however a little birdy might have told me that avesay on the amegays might be just round the corner

Lol at this. Most people supported it for the MP section, because that was broken in DK2. Don't project your weird expectations on the community.

When the project started on KeeperKlan a few years ago it was originally meant to be a DK clone. Unfortunately SubT does not own the rights to the franchise (they tried to obtain it though) so the game has to be made different in order to avoid being sued by EA games.

While it's impossible to know everyones buying motive, I can say that SP and MP are equally important to the devs. On our forums I've seen people that were asking for more campaign levels as much as people who really like to see the MP working.

In my opinion, there should be more thought in single player.. multiplayer should be: player vs other players and co-op vs bots and thats it to be fair. This is a game where you want to play on your own at time's.. Sometimes i play C&C skirmish and its still entertaining now..
