what is a demake?
I didn't remember you can actually build a structure without putting it on concrete slabs. Anyways, It's a marvellous work of love.
It starts with half health, if I remember correctly
The Dune2 soundtrack is forever engraved in my brain. I found a GPLv2 program to play the original files: https://github.com/adplug/adplay-unix/ The music is in the .adl files and the normal/peaceful music are all on subsong 6 (e.g. adplay -s 6)

it seems many people were super-touched by this soundtrack, and is indeed a masterpiece on its own. adding much to the atmosphere of the game.
this Sign of the Worm track most definitely still easily gives chills, and Im amazed it was not extensively remixed through the years.

I'm also amazed they didnt take it for any of the movies, as this is super cinematic-like composition, and very distinctive. https://stphanepicq.bandcamp.com/track/spice-op-ra-2024-rema...

It was composed by very ingenious composer Stephane Picq and while digging you the original files I figured he did a remaster with the original music advisor, art director and producer for the album: Philippe Ulrich https://stphanepicq.bandcamp.com/album/dune-spice-opera-2024... it seems many people were super-touched by this soundtrack, and is indeed a masterpiece on its own. adding much to the atmosphere of the gam…
Stephane Picq worked with Cryo interactive for the first Dune game.
Hah. This takes me back. Classic doesn't quite cover it. I will say it's nice not having to click and Move on the sidebar manually each time you want to move a unit. I do seem to remember each unit made a sound when you click them like "reporting" and when you move them "acknowledged"? Which again was incredibly repetitious but also quite characterful!
Incredible feat to ... fit this all in such a small display. Immediately wanted to play it on a very old CRT.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Wasn't it Frank Klepacki that composed the music for Dune 2. Stephane Picq worked with Cryo interactive for the first Dune game.
Dune II, the one demaked here, had its music composed by the inimitable Frank Klepacki: https://www.frankklepacki.com/ost/vg/dune-2
To add some context, this was made for the PICO-8 fantasy console, which (by design) is very limited, so it's immensely impressive to see something like this working on it. Honestly, even just the 3D logo from the intro is impressive, and the rest of the game even moreso. https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php
