Dungeon Keeper FX

Dungeon Keeper FX (for Fan eXpansion), or simply KeeperFX, is a fan expansion of Dungeon Keeper. Amongst other things, it supports higher screen resolutions, fixes bugs (including the infamous Level 10 Speed bug), adds new campaigns, and provides a better interface. KeeperFX is mostly a standalone game; although it requires files from the original game to run.
== Main changes ==
* Works on modern Microsoft Windows versions
* Support for screen resolutions above 640x400
* Additional campaigns
* TCP/IP and UDP support for multiplayer (though this only supports two players)
* Atmospheric sound effects work on all systems
* Many bug-fixes, most notably:
:* The experience level 10 creature spell fugacity bug
:* Other bugged out creature stats and abilities
:* The bugged Barracks party formation
:* The Word of Power spell dealing no damage (however, the damage it deals is still negligible compared to the quantity the spell and the trap are supposed to deal)
* Variably-sized maps, up to 170x170 slabs.
* Delta Time to separate rendered frames from game turns, making the game much smoother
* New level script commands for more complex levels, including (but not limited to):
:* Effect generation
:* Terrain manipulation
:* Sound effects and speech playback
:* Dungeon Heart manipulation
:* Revealing and hiding parts of the map
:* Advanced timer and flag manipulation

== Releases ==
New releases are announced on Keeper Klan. For a time, there were two editions: Official and Unofficial. The 'Unofficial' edition has been discontinued since version 0.4.8 and merged into the official branch. This was because the original developer, mefistotelis, left the project after version 0.4.6 was released and does not plan to return. Development has been taken over by Loobinex and a few others. A full list of contributors can be found here.
Version 1.0 was released on 10 November 2023. It was hailed by the video gaming media as a significant milestone in its development.
== Launcher program ==
KeeperFX comes with a discrete launcher program, which enables players to install, configure, and run the game.
=== Trivia===
*The background of the launcher is actually an early visualisation for Lionhead Studios' Black & White.
