Dune RTS & Black Metal

I was a kid in the ’90s, completely obsessed with the old Dune 2 RTS game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_II]. I loved everything about it, the vehicles, the mood, gathering resources and taking over Arrakis. It stuck with me for years, I took a stab at it a while back during a class at cgma and recently felt the need to go back and finish up some of the designs I had started.

This is something game-like, stylized, and based on a personal nostalgia and longing for RTS games.

As much a fun of Dune I was and also was a metal head and still am ! So I am hoping for metal music plays a big role in this project too , the music is intense, emotional, raw, almost alien. It has the same kind of feeling as Dune to me: lonely, huge, brutal, spiritual, and epic. I wanted the machines to feel like they came from that same place . heavy, mysterious, and almost sacred in a strange way.

This project is really just a mix of things I love: old-school RTS games, Dune, and metal. A remix, and honestly just something I had a lot of fun building.

The Mini Harvester: A Nimble Rebel’s Spice Raider

This is the Mini Harvester , a smaller, more agile cousin to the massive spice harvesters. This design is all about mobility and versatility. I imagined it as the perfect tool for militias, smaller rebel groups, or any faction that needs a fast, cost-effective way to get in and out of the desert with minimal fuss.

With a more stripped-down, tried to give it that metal edge but in a leaner, more utilitarian form. It’s the ideal prop for those who need speed over load\capacity.
