Where it had Dungeon in the title, and the games basic description said that the game would be revolved around an intricate dungeon community, not of humans but of the creatures in the dungeon and it was suppose to have a complex society. I cannot recall the name, or if it's still being developed -_-.

@xeoneex66: I know of a few games where your job is to basically run your own dungeon, and the "Heroes" who would raid/explore the dungeon are the antagonists.

Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2: Classic retro games by Peter Molyneux/Bullfrog. Really fun but also very old as this point.

DUNGEONS: A game on Steam for PC that's kind of similar, but not as well done IMHO.

War for the Overworld: A "spiritual successor" to the original Dungeon Keeper game made by some of the original group but for modern computers. "Spiritual Successor" usually means "developed by a lot of the original team but they don't own the rights to the original name". It plays pretty much just like Dungeon Keeper, and they even got the original voice actor who did the narration for that game to do the new on.

No, those were from the 90's, this game was around 2010. It went into silence and since GS changed their website several times, to my knowledge you can't search for games using genre etc... No this game was suppose to be a current gen game. This game was over ambitious if anything. I was looking forward to seeing how they were going to pull it off, there wasn't even any screenshots or anything. Probably deadware now.

As I mentioned, the first two are older games. The third and fourth are current. Dungeons came out in 2011 and War for the Overworld was officially released only a few months ago.

Right, the game I'm refering to is not a dungeon builder game. Honestly no clue what TYPE of game it is, dungeon crawler, hack n slash, adventure? I don't know. There was never any info on it. It has been silence for quite awhile. If they changed the name, I wouldn't even know.

@tab134:How you got that from that description, I have no idea. :)

@xeoneex66: Glad you find it, but sorry it turned out to not exist. In the future, there's a sticky that I should have directed you to (shame on me) that we have specifically for this kind of question. Since the question is resolved and we are supposed to use the sticky, I'm going to lock this one.
