I just played the first 3 missions here in the browser and it was great. :D Congrats, excellent job!

Now I wish I could get my progress from here to my local game so I can continue, but I'll just do them again. :)

Two issues, unless I'm missing something:

you can't sell buildings, which is a problem if you accidentally overspend before making a refinery, because not having 400 credits to build one will force you to restart the mission - this one is important;
you can't tell when you need more windtraps, until you notice your radar went offline.

Hi Nicu,

Thanks for the kind words. Regarding your questions...

There is actually a (not so) secret Level Warp in the pause menu when you first load the game (press ENTER key to bring up). Select to skip to Level 4 and press X (just make sure u picked a House first!).
I don't believe selling building was possible in Dune 2 (which this is an attempt to demake). Think that came in with Dune 2000 (prob from an earlier C&C game). So, better to build Refinery FIRST, just in case!
You can tell your power levels by selecting any of your Windtraps. They show the current power level balance of output vs. demand. If the balance gets < 0, then Outpost will fail.

Hope this help & thanks again for playing 🤓

1. Nice! :) I noticed that, but I didn't know what to expect (other than maybe selecting unlocked missions) and I didn't use it. I replayed the missions just for fun. :)

2. I haven't played it in a long time, so maybe my "C&C" memories kicked in. :) Yeah, I guess it only takes one fail to learn to manage your credits in the early game.

3. Thanks! I didn't know how to read the numbers. I assume I should see something similar to the percentages we see in silos, but now I know.

By the way, is there a way to save during a mission, so you can resume later? I didn't notice a save feature.

Thanks a lot for your answers! The game is of course a nostalgia trip but it's still a lot of fun.

Regarding saving - alas this is possible.
But you can pause the game (by clicking either the pause icon next to window, or pressing ENTER key) and that'll freeze the game. You can then resume it another time.
(Just make sure not to close the browser window! 😉)

Oh, this question was specific to the desktop game (Linux). I guess the browser one can save stuff in the localStorage, but I'm not sure it's worth working on that. But for the PC game it would be useful, especially with longer missions.

Paul Nicholas (Liquidream)2 years ago

You should still be able to pause the game in the binary versions (inc. Linux), by pressing ENTER key to bring the menu up.

But yeah, no real "save game" mid-level, I'm afraid.

Thanks, good to know. :) I'll just plan ahead.
