Hmm...Well it's a good idea to make a game ...But as you were saying it would be not the same DIG ancient and desolate environment...
BTW ...When i was playing StarCraft(Protoss race) i felt almost like i'm playing for cocytuans...The music and environments were very alike..the mood during gameplay was pretty close to the Dig gameplay.....
what do you think...
I say - DIG-3D SE online - fan game and DIG game(using old but enchanced Game-CD sounds and music but in new graphical 3D envelope .
So people play it from all points of View...
