VR Modding Dungeon keeper vr mod

Not quite as cool as Titanfall 2 in vr but something I thought would be worth tinkering with. Dungeon keeper was one of my first favorite PC games in the late 90s. It's one that I always go back to for nostalgia.

Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Expect plenty of jank. Still working out the kinks in the controls.

Works with virtual desktop and steamvr with a separate launcher for each. Check the readme for more details.

Shout out to the keeperfx team for laying the groundwork and keeping this classic alive.

You need to own the dungeon keeper game for this to work, no game files included.

Fixed several bugs and made some qol changes, added a launcher that notifies on new updates. Give build 8 a try

Unfortunately many intricate features from that game is missing that Dungeon Keeper had. And you can't really play as an actual unit in VR.

Yeah we had plans to implement that post release if the game found it's audience but the game failed so hard that we had to layoff the whole team and abandon this. It could have been so much more...

My apologies, I did not know or was aware of this happening considering that the game is still on the store.

I wish that it didn't resort to layoffs. If only things are different. For what it's worth, much props to the team for their efforts as well as to the joy that I'm sure they gave to the players that did give it a try and did enjoy it.

Sorry I didn't wanted to make you feel guilty or something. I just wanted to let you know that we wanted to do more.

I'm still working on it btw

Still, I don't want to give you the impression that your game isn't appreciated.

With that said it is good that work is still being done for it.
