Hello everyone!

Nominations for the 2023 Steam Awards are open, and we would love it if you would vote for Dune: Spice Wars in the ‘Outstanding visual style’ category.

Navigating the challenges of a revered universe like Dune, we embarked on a delicate dance between uniqueness and homage. Breaking free from existing materials, we forged our own expression within Herbert's legacy. The diverse desert biomes of Arrakis became our canvas, injecting vitality into procedurally generated maps and avoiding the monotony of endless sand dunes.

As a mark of our commitment to innovation, we're proud that Dune: Spice Wars was honoured with the Best Technological Innovation award at the 2023 Pégases, recognizing its groundbreaking procedurally generated maps.

“There is in all things a pattern that is part of our universe. It has symmetry, elegance, and grace - these qualities you find always in that the true artist captures. You can find it in the turning of the seasons, the way sand trails along a ridge, in the branch clusters of the creosote bush of the pattern of its leaves. We try to copy these patterns in our lives and in our society, seeking the rhythms, the dances, the forms that comfort. Yet, it is possible to see peril in the finding of ultimate perfection. It is clear that the ultimate pattern contains its own fixity. In such perfection, all things move towards death.” - Frank Herbert, Dune

Thank you all for your continued support,
