Dune Awakening's latest dev video shows off faction-specific bases, which look far nicer than the bland boxes we've built in the beta

One other day, one other official Dune Awakening dev video, this time highlighting the bottom constructing system. Whereas the fundamentals of base constructing is one thing we have already seen rather a lot about, we do get additional perception on the late recreation faction-specific constructing choices for all of your Harkonnen and Atreides lovers on the market.

The video itself, which you’ll be able to watch beneath, covers the entire development course of. Beginning with the primary base you’d construct merely to save lots of your self from sandstorms. Then, after you lock in your alliance with one of many two main factions, new constructing choices can be found to you. As proven within the video, these bases look vastly totally different from one another relying on which facet you’ve got picked.

So why is that this kind of factor a cool factor to see? Effectively, there’s the plain capacity for participant expression that faction-specific base customisation permits for. I can say with the utmost certainty that in case your cliffside base is Harkonnen and your neighbour has a barely cooler home with Atreides colors it will p**s you off. That is the entire concept. The flexibility to precise your loyalty to a facet within the battle over spice towards different gamers is vital to the immersion.

That is one factor which Dune Awakening seems to be specializing in that different MMOs have pulled again from a bit. World of Warcraft is essentially the most legendary instance, a recreation that was once all about Alliance vs Horde dynamics earlier than breaking down the obstacles between the 2 sides. A extra handy expertise positive, however one undoubtedly with much less natural character.

Tell us what kind of base you will construct, and extra importantly, what faction you will be siding with when Dune Awakening launches later this 12 months.
