So you know about the game but you don't know the basic details? Well this is the thread where you will find all of what you need to know. Check back regularly because some changes may occur over time. If you have any questions of feel something should be added to this please leave a post here. This is a general FAQ section.
Who is developing?
Currently myself, WOLFSting, and Clone256. As of now the company name is Sick Eagle Games, unfortunately eXtreme Industries wasn't avaliable. We are, however, looking for more people to add who have telents in all different areas. Please contact us if you would like to join in.
What is Death Drome II?
Death Drome II is the sequal to the game that most of the people here on the forums played from September 1997- May 2000, on HEAT.NET. Heat shut down leaving us without our true love. For the record it is known as ProjectPrisoner currently until we are able to acquire the rights to DeathDrome. So please. refer to it as DDII/DD2/PP/ProjectPrisoner.
Why are you making DDII?
Well there are a few reasons. 1. It is for a college project. 2. I feel it is something that we as a community should do inorder to keep contact and bring one of the greatest games ever back to life.
What's new in DDII?
If you look at the DeathDrome II thread you can see what we are discussing about the new game.
Will there be another lobby?
Yes, I am working on a lobby now. Unfortunately I cannot legally use the Heat lobby so I am working on one specifically for DDII. Contact me if you can help out with this task.
When will it be released?
As of now there is no set release date but I am shooting for 2 years. But, do not fear the long date I promise I will release demos and invite all the former DD players to participate in all the Betas that will be held, and there will be many.
How much will it cost?
It is my goal to give DDII to the former players for free, all you would need to do is post that you are a former DD player and get 1 person to vouch for you. For other people, there is no set price, the Development Team will discuss this at a further date.
How do you plan to distribute the game?
Right now I am thinking of making it downloadable, this is subject to change.
I want to help, how can I?
As I said we are always looking for people who are avaliable to help out. If you have a specific skill in anything you might think be helpful to the game wether it be programing, art, networking, level design, webdesign or anything at all contact us. The more people we have avaliable to help out the sooner we can get this game out.
A Note from WOLFSting.
I wanted to say thank you to all of you who are supporting this idea and dream. If you stick with us I promise you it will be avaliable to you someday. My biggest influence for taking this task is from all the fun times I had in game and in the lobby just talking with you all. I know I wasn't the "coolest" player but I feel that every person made a difference in the community, and it is a personal to get every person back in the community. If you know the where-abouts of a former DD player please inform them of this, as their opinion is very important to the development of this game. Thank you very much for reading this and for your support and opinions.
