GDC 2012: Minecraft creator thinks Dungeon Keeper 3 would be "fun"

Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson has admitted at the recent Game Developers Conference 2012 that he would love to see Dungeon Keeper 3 get developed, stating it would be "fun".


Unfortunately, he said: "(Dungeon Keeper 3) is so stuck in licensing hell that that's not going to happen, ever."

"But that would be fun. It would be interesting to invest in some games that I think would really do well and that are actually good games as well - games that I want to see happen," he added.

He also addressed his earlier offer to help Tim Schafer get Psychonauts 2 off the ground. Notch admitted that he'd underestimated the amount of cash that developer Double Fine would have needed to make it. However, Notch maintains that Psychonauts 2 "would definitely sell, so it's a sound investment."

Dungeon Keeper was first released in 1999, developed by Bullfrog Productions, which was co-founded by Peter Molyneux and later purchased by Electronic Arts, along with the game's license.

Yes, it would be fun, quite a lot :).

Well the potential for great fun is there but unfortunately also the potential for EA to screw things up completely.

I used to play Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2 with my kids.. great fun!.. and those kids are now in their 20's. My favourite phrase: "It is PayDay!".. and all those gold coins falling from the sky.. Definitely good news!

EDIT: the game would have to have the same "feel" as the previous editions...
