but unfortunately I need them visible or the players won't know where to dig. Increase value of minerals but make them unvisible in fog. That was the main thing in Dungeon Keeper 2 | ||

The problem for me is to change their visibility for only a player after they have been created BTW exis can you give me some feedback on the new UI? | ||

I think, you should try make darker texture for minerals. | ||

Minerals should have a different texture (dirt with some minerals nuggets socketed inside), however I'm not able to work on a texture like that :D Take the original as example http://www.rudythedev.com/wp-content/uploads/Resource-Gathering-Dungeon-Keeper-2.jpg | ||

What about UI, I mean right corner which does not contains anything. http://i.imgur.com/Qt1ihkO.jpg | ||

If I was able to create a ground texture with small mineral ores inside it I would have done it :| I can't use the bottom right because on 4:3 monitors you don't have a lot of horizontal space. BTW consider that more then half of the bottom bar is used by alerts or army portraits | ||

Races: - Are you definetly gonig to keep everything Zerg? Dungeon Keeper had such a cool vaste range of units, everyone had their own favourites, from mistresses, warlocks, knights, vampires, goblins, bile demons and on here it's a complete dissapointment to lings, muta, queens :-( - Some of the rooms look terrible, despite everything else in the game being exceptionally well done and looking great. The hatchery why not just make it a library or a research center? It would look 100x more appealing. Research: - Where is the slap unit command? To make them work faster / fight faster, but loose morale and take damage. Spells: - Could you add some more variations and alternatives, right now at the start all you do is cast drones, it is very boring. How about adding 1 or 2 more to start with such as, 'Make Gold' - make a little bit of cash, Just mere example but the idea is to open up diverse strategies from the moment the game starts. Call to Arms: - Why does this ability cost so much and why can't I just cast in from the start, it's needed for gameplay. Simply have it for free but with a cooldown? UI units: - Looks great, you still cannot select individual units and I mean specifically ones you want. Could you make it so you can switch between View All/View Units of type. So if I click view ONLY zerglings, I now can see all zerglings I control, with health/mana/in combat yes or no and then manually click them to move them about. Slap: - Where is the slap unit command? To make them work faster / fight faster, but loose morale and take damage. I seriously want to play this and want to love the map but Dungeon Keeper was just much better :-( | ||

Races: - Are you definetly gonig to keep everything Zerg? Dungeon Keeper had such a cool vaste range of units, everyone had their own favourites, from mistresses, warlocks, knights, vampires, goblins, bile demons and on here it's a complete dissapointment to lings, muta, queens :-( The theme is about you beeing a zerg overmind so there is no reason why humans should work at your command... except after infesting them obviously. When infestation (torturing) will be available you'll be able to get other races. Additionally consider that half of zerg creatures are not yet available. - Some of the rooms look terrible, despite everything else in the game being exceptionally well done and looking great. The hatchery why not just make it a library or a research center? It would look 100x more appealing. Unfortunately there are not a lot of models in sc2 that I can use to make nice looking rooms, I could add HOTS mod but then it will be required to play the game and I don't want that. Spells: - Could you add some more variations and alternatives, right now at the start all you do is cast drones, it is very boring. How about adding 1 or 2 more to start with such as, 'Make Gold' - make a little bit of cash, Just mere example but the idea is to open up diverse strategies from the moment the game starts. Create gold is a mid tier spell that will come later, I don't see the problem of choices of spells simply because the game is about choosing your specialization between rooms, spells and traps. You can do everything but you have some options to focus on one tree instead of another one. You can choose if you want to quickly train mutalings (and keep them) to increase room research ratio or you can focus on more powerful creatures. Depending on what rooms you build and on what creatures you keep you decide to focus on spell or traps research. Call to Arms: - Why does this ability cost so much and why can't I just cast in from the start, it's needed for gameplay. Simply have it for free but with a cooldown? It's not needed, creatures combat engage radius is already big and they are even able to detect if another allied creature is engaging in combat (pratically doubling the radius). Creatures tend naturally to chase enemies, call to arms is just a tool used to send everything to fight your enemy and at that time you want to do that you will probably be already able to cast it. UI units: - Looks great, you still cannot select individual units and I mean specifically ones you want. Could you make it so you can switch between View All/View Units of type. So if I click view ONLY zerglings, I now can see all zerglings I control, with health/mana/in combat yes or no and then manually click them to move them about. A view by creature would not be so useful, during combat you need a quick view of all your available creatures and you won't have time to open and close so many submenus. The army panel still lacks the nice features the original DK had like select by in/out of combat, level of happiness, etc. It's not a priority atm but it will be done soon or later. Research/Slap: - Where is the slap unit command? To make them work faster / fight faster, but loose morale and take damage. As Existor told you it's already in the game, just right click on one of your creatures. You can even slap feederlings (chickens) if you desire so. I seriously want to play this and want to love the map but Dungeon Keeper was just much better :-( The map is not complete yet, the big advantage of this map is that it allows you to play in multiplayer with other people while DK multi is dead My bad. Btw have you seen this? Dungeon Keeper 3 basically in beta Of course I know, they are pratically doing what I'm doing. Remaking DK2 with some twists. | ||
