Hi There, I purchased this to play the p8 cartridge, I noticed it's on the Pico8 catalog, are they the same in features. Total noob here... Playing this on a handheld, unfortunately does not work as a cartridge :(
Sorry for the delay (work has been manic lately). What handheld are you playing it on and are you using full PICO-8 (or an emulator like FAKE-8)? Also, have you put all the carts in the same folder - as they will all be needed.
You'll need to build up your base to the point where you unlock Light (+eventually, Heavy) vehicle factories. There's a progression to unlock buildings (e.g. Windtrap > Refinery > Light/Heavy Factories) - and you won't be able to do it all from level 1. Hope this helps.
Hi! I'm sorry for the dumb question but I'm having trouble getting this to play properly. No matter which of the carts I start, it puts me straight into a game with the blue house - but I swear at one earlier point it let me pick a different house, it seems I can no longer do that.
I have tried PICO-DUNE_CREDITS, PICO-DUNE-MAIN_MIN, and PICO-DUNE_MIN. They all eventually lead to the first mission with the blue house. (None of the others load anything.)
I'm playing on a Pico-8 installation on a handheld system (RGB30) if that matters. I am excited to play and would appreciate any help.
D'oh! I'm not a smart person. It was automatically 'saving' my progress, I needed to 'start a new game' in order to get back to the very beginning. Sorry!
Leaving this up here to A) not hide my shame, and B) in case anyone else needs to see it.

Hello! Really liked this game, so I featured it on my site with some other Pico-8 gems! Keep up the good work! https://erikhoudini.com/the_crypt/arcade/
Many thanks for the kind words + feature. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Real memorable! Maybe you could Demake Dune 2000 next!
Just spent an hour or so playing through this again, still such a great demake. Excellent work.
Aww... thanks a lot Quang.
Glad you enjoyed your time harvesting for chunky pixel spice!
Thx again for the kind words 😊
imma try this game
bruh in middle of epic battle game crash, they should pey me for time i waste
Were you playing it on PC/Download form? I would expect that to happen...
It happened to me 3 times, so I gave up on completing the game, I played on the version downloaded on Windows
How do you aqquire units? I need more attack forces but I can't find such!

Not exactly. There is a limit to how many units you can build. Is there a way to surpass the limit, like build more Radar/Comms posts?

Well, that was done like a true Atreides leader! P.S. This game made me read the book. Read the Dune book!
