The Keepers are rising once again but in a better visual universe, with improved AI and possibly online play' Natural Born Keeper is an ambitious project spear-headed by a programmer nicknamed IKSLM' His aim is to re-make the classic game Dungeon Keeper, but in immense 3D graphics, adding some new and exciting features along the way' This is no easy feat, and IKSLM and the rest of the NBK team have been pain-stakingly modelling the creatures, rooms, items etc' and creating textures to an unbelievable standard' The coding also has to be re-done, this is far more audacious than a simple re-make! There are some small demo's and some screenshots of the progress so far, the rest is on our Forums' This Mod is located at one of the only still active Dungeon Keeper sites/forums left on the net, visit us''' @Keepers of the Dungeon(Currently Out of Action) @Our Forums (There are currently changes going on with the website, but it will be fixed in due time) More Updates coming soon''''' P'S:...

Over the last 2 years a few developers have still contributed to NBK. Its been along time so i will just keep everyone updated! WFTO, which was a fork of NBK, switched to using UDK along with most of the developers. So i decided to carry on working on the NBK source and resore the name on Natural Born Keeper. Now during this time some work has been made on NBK - mainly focusing on implanting gameplay features.
