fheroes 2 completely re-writes Heroes of Might and Magic 2 to have higher resolutions and QoL features. It may not be the classic HoMM3, but HoMM2 is still beautiful to this day and a blast with friends in hotseat. Great vid, cool mod.

Just took a look at that and it looks really cool! I am going to have to check it out.

Wow, I have forgotten how happy that Bullfrog logo used to make me. It's sad to see studios with such great ideas just got killed off in 2001. I of the first studios that got purchased just to shut it down to reduce competition instead of creating a larger amount of games.

Same here the Bullfrog Logo just meant joy to me as a teenager. And reading how the company "merged" with EA and then how things devolved from there, it's just heart breaking. And it took over a decade for people to figure out how to replicate the fun of those games in any way. Dungeons series is great, Two point "location" is a great follow on to the Theme games. Just need someone to do a Syndicate-like and we might be ok.

I hope they did Dungeon Keeper 2. I still play that game!

I will have to look into it. I know this was done originally because Dungeon Keeper and Syndicate Wars were on the same engine and the person who started it really wanted to update that game. I don't know if that ever happened, but this hit 1.0 last year. Update: 29APR2024 - OpenKeeper seems to be a similar option for DK2, but as I don't have a copy handy I can't test it out just yet.

Thank you very much for that information! I always though it was just me that was a huge fan of Bullfrog, but there are so many people that still love the games they made. So cool!

I remember there was a level somewhere perhaps halfway through the game where you had a huge open area surrounded by lava, and that level just skill-checked me, I never got through it. Even when using the AI assist to bring my economy up faster, it just felt hopeless. Maybe I'll start again one day.

@JakalairVG 2 ай бұрын

@@Mauntium that level did suck, I don't remember what I did to get past it. But, most of the later levels (the ones I remember) were more puzzles that needed solved than defeated.

Nice. I mostly stick with 2 now but much like you I've been trying to find something that scratches the same itch as DK. I had the same opinions on dungeons and war for the overworld.

@JakalairVG 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for letting me know it's not just me. I still did have a lot of fun with both games, but just not the same fun. I might need to revisit 2 and see if it holds some of the same magic.

Does this fix the object limits spawning in a level? I know that what killed the game from me whas that after having more than a certain number of things, it completely broke and crashed.

@JakalairVG 7 ай бұрын

Interesting question. I did not even know this was a thing, but I have played through the whole campaign and KeeperFX has never crashed on me. I also just loaded up a free play game and loaded in monsters until I got tired spawning them in and it didn't crash. I am not 100% sure of the bug you are describing though, so I might be missing something.

@qqluqq 5 ай бұрын

yeah we multiplied said limit by 8 so won't bump into it in any normal map, also doesn't crash anymore when it is reached

Yup, that's the way to do it. I've also tried the newer spiritual successors but I always came back to the very first one. Just has that feel and aesthetic that is unmatched in my opinion. Sequel wasn't bad, though I prefer the first one.

@JakalairVG 7 ай бұрын

For me I think it's that DK is the distilled game, it has just what it needs and nothing extra. The follow ups are good, but nothing has that simple but brutal gameplay.

you can get the better graphics in the original game too. just needed to press some key combination (ive forgotten what)

ALT+R will change between Normal(320x240) and High(640x480) Resolution, well spotted! I didn't bring it up and I probably should have, but KeeperFX did so much past resolution I got too excited to put it in. My bad. 😔

@@dekkstar8452 🤔 making games is hard. Making great games is really hard. There are some good almost like keeper games out there. For me they just never hit that same feeling. Some had too many "new features" and others had the grim-camp balance off. Maybe someday we'll get a good one again.
