Mentat Intel Report [10172.2 A.G.]

Report to CHOAM Interplanetary Commerce and Trade Regulation Board

Appologies for the delay since our last dispatch. Operating conditions on Arrakis have disrupted our lines of communication. However, the extra time has not been ill-spent:

Our agents have managed to recover a slightly damaged Harkonnen Gunship which was brought down by electrical activity from the outskirts of a coriollis storm. Though the avionics were destroyed by the overload, the rest of the ornithopter is remarkably intact. Even the delicate wings somehow survived impact with the dunes. This should help us gain insight into this swift and deadly craft.

We hope you’ve enjoyed this sneak peek into the development of Dune: War of the Spice. You can follow us on Twitter, subscripe our RSS-feed and join our forums. We aim to post regular monthly updates as we have new work to show.

Dune: War of the Spice is a new fully original Real Time Strategy game loosely based on the Dune novels of Frank Herbert and following in the footsteps of such games as Emperor: Battle for Dune and Dune II: Building of a Dynasty. The game follows the exploits and conflict between the three Great Houses of the Atreides, Harkonnen and Ordos in their fierce battle for power and control of the Imperium, as well as a number of Subhouses that try to use the conflict to their own advantage.

We’ve been concentrating on the Harkonnen faction for the time being and hope to add new art for the others as our output increases, we’re always on the look-out for talented 2D and 3D artists and programmers to contribute.
