- 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.

- 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)
- 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!
- I didn't remember you can actually build a structure without putting it on concrete slabs.
Anyways, It's a marvellous work of love.
- Incredible feat to ... fit this all in such a small display. Immediately wanted to play it on a very old CRT.

- This is very cool! And very impressive that it was made to work on PICO-8.
A small nitpick: I'm pretty sure the sand worms wouldn't eat foot soldiers in the original, only vehicles.
- what is a demake?
