Dune: Fremen's Rising

Dune: Fremen’s Rising is a RTT video game with a perspective camera based on the renowned IP of Dune. This real time tactics game with multiple characters tells the brief story of how Paul Atreides, long after his father’s and Atreides’ allies deaths, lives through a Harkonen siege at the gates of his new Fremen home.

In Dune: Fremen’s Rising each and every one of our main characters has their own set of abilities do fight against the Harkonnen army and make way through the different sceneries and get to Rabban Harkonnen, one of the main people at fault for the death of Leto, Paul’s father.

Paul Atreides: Paul Atreides is the heir to the formerly glorious House Atreides of Caladan. His father and most of the people of his inner circle have died, and he now lives in exile in the desert next to his mother Lady Jessica Atreides, taken in by the Fremen, a nomad tribe of Arrakis’ desert. Paul is young and inexperienced and is learning about his abilities. Even though he is impulsive and reckless, his training makes him become a force to be reckoned with.

Chani Kynes: Chani Kynes, daughter of the deceased astronomer from Arrakis Liet Kynes, lives nomadly with the Fremen since childhood. Life in the desert has turned her into the strong and determined woman that she is today. Behind her rough character hides a sensitive soul that shields itself with all types of resources and lethal weapons, which make her an unstoppable assassin.

Stilgar: Stilgar used to be a political leader in Arrakeen who under the rule of the Harkonnen was sent into exile with his tribe to live in the desert. Stilgar is an expert soldier, highly able in body combat and ranged combat and also very knowledgeable in Arrakis’ history and customs. His wisdom and experience make him a crucial part of the Fremen’s defense against the House Harkonnen. He is a man prepared to sacrifice himself for the greater good if it were needed as long as it stops the invaders that have taken land from his people.

Organization

HacknPlan was used to organize the tasks and log the hours. The stand-ups and retrospectives were conducted in class, as were the playtesting sessions.

External

LIn addition to the tasks that we were assigned to each delivery, from production we decided to go a step further and we organized a casting for voice actors, besides getting a composer for the music of the game and a web designer. This allowed us to raise the quality of the final game even more.
