Welcome everyone to another Battle for Dune: War of Assassin's update! We've once again been busy working on bringing to you new balance, changes and maps!
Top 100
We've once again made it to the IndieDB Top 100 games! Thank you to everyone who voted for us to get to this point so far, but we're not done yet. Click on the lovely imagine above and give our sandy, yet spicy, First Person Shooter a vote to get to the next stage!
Battle for Dune: War of Assassins couldn't of made it so far without your support, let's see it get more recognition!
Infantry & Weapon ChangesThe Flamethrower Infantry has been a point on conversation during games, and how his weapon is finally in the right place for the unit's cost and that this is for House Harkonnen's Elite Infantry Class, but he's just a bit too tough to take down now this is the case.
So he's received a slight Shield and Skin type nerf to bring his overall gameplay more inline with what's intended, and after a good amount of playtesting, we're now happy with where he sits!We've also been taking a look at the Grenade Launcher, Missile & Rocket Launchers. For awhile now, these weapons have quite been in a good enough place in terms of dealing with 1 on 1 encounters, and with Missile & Rocket Launchers anything but direct hits.
The Grenade Launcher now has a faster Rate of Fire to deal with single encounters far better, but has an increased Reload time to compensate for this increase in DPS.
The Missile & Rocket Launchers have had their explosions reworked to cover a smaller radius but an increased Explosion Damage. With this, Missile & Rocket Launchers are now much deadlier with splash damage, with potentially insta-killing another Infantry from full health!
Outpost Lima
This boxed in, depraved part of Arrakis' many rocky regions was once a thriving Harkonnen industry hub. With production going from the Factory, to the Warehouse, then to the Shuttle Lift, this was a key weapons manufacturing centre for House Harkonnen, isolated from the Capital at Carthag.
In this new Team Deathmatch map, House Atreides has found this little operation and has initiated a strike on the Facility, catching House Harkonnen and the Shanty Town Slum bound Slaves working the production lines completely unware!
Radar RetreatWe once again return to the Atreides home world of Caladan, with Radar Retreat, a quiet remote area with a Radar Outpost station monitoring communications and traffic for that region.
Set on a crisp foggy morning, this new Conquest map has a different take on the tradition gameplay established on other Conquest maps where you don't spawn in a protected location and you change your Infantry Class by grabbing Crates!
New Death Screen
Since we released when you've been bested or sniped by someone in Battle for Dune, you've had to look at this untextured countdown to when you can next spawn with no other information on what happened. Well Cyberarm has heard your pleads and has been hard at work answering them!
All you were simply left with were questions, such as, "What? I thought I had them! How much health do they have?" or "What even killed me? I bet it was that camping TeamWolf again with a bloody Sniper, wasn't it?!".Behold, Death Screen 2.0!
With this new Death Screen, you can now see who killed you, with what weapon, along with how much Health and Armour they had at the point of your demise!
1.0.1.2 Patch Notes!
And with everything already said, here are the patch notes for update 1.0.1.2:

Hello fellow sand enjoyers, and welcome to this special 2 year anniversary Infantry Release update!
What Have We Been Up To?We've been busy working on the new Vehicle Release, currently we're getting the core gameplay loop done and all the bells and whistles around that, features, assets, maps, and the rest.
We're also working on more Infantry Release maps before we stop actively working on this version, more updates on both of these in the near future!
Guard Station
Set of the home world of House Atreides, Caladan, Guard Station is an outpost set inside a fissure surrounded by forests and mountains.
In this new Conquest map House Harkonnen has taken one of the Guard Stations in this area, at one of the fissure's ends trying to capture more territory, it's House Atreides' mission to stop this at all costs!
Update 1.0.1.1
With the new map, we've got a few more changes for the update we've pushed today! Here's the changelist for 1.0.1.1:
Audio:
- New objective announcements for Conquest and Team Deathmatch modes for House Atreides
- New objective announcements for Conquest and Team Deathmatch modes for House HarkonnenLevels:
- New Conquest map set on House Atreides home world of Caladan, called Guard Station
- Corrected Wall textures on Lonely Road
- Corrected Wall textures on Clifftop PassProps:
- Fixed stuck spots on MK.1 Harvester modelWeapon:
- Fixed Bolt-Action firing and reloading issuesWhat's Next?We're continuing on with the Vehicle Release, our main focus is getting a Vertical Slice together to lock down our image for how what we want the game to look and play! This means getting Vehicles setup properly, Infantry Classes and customisation options down, Environments looking and feeling like you're on Arrakis, Buildings having proper layouts and functions, and much more!
That's it's for another Update!Join us today and tomorrow for Battle for Dune: War of Assassins game nights and a Round Table tomorrow (15/09/24)! We look forward to seeing you all there!
[blurb]Welcome to Battle for Dune's 2 Year Anniversary Update! Come and see what we've been working on and what's included in this special occasion's game update![/blurb]

Hello everyone, it's that time once again. With this year's C&C Renegade anniversary happening this week, and today's Battle for Dune: War of Assassins game night, we thought it's about time for a new game Patch!
Offerings of the Deep DesertGrenades of all Shapes and SizesIn this Patch we have focused on reworking the Throwable Grenades again as we have something new to play with, Drag Co-efficiency. With this amazing new feature to the engine, we're able to change the Grenade's arc apex, at which the Drag Co-efficiency will take effect and make the Grenade fall to the ground more sharply than the downward trajectory of the remaining arc would of allowed.
Along with this, we've also given Infantry Classes that don't have anything to throw Throwable Grenades now. The Shock Trooper, Trooper and Designated Marksman now have Frag Grenades, and the Atreides Sniper has Smoke Grenades!
The Grenade Launcher has also had a rework! The Grenadier hasn't been able to fulfil it's role of being House Atreide's Crowd Control unit since it's nerf about a year ago, and this has becoming painfully obvious as we make continuous tweaks to the game's balance and overall Combat Design. As a result the Grenadier's Grenade Launcher has received a direct damage, Range, Explosion Damage and Explosion Radius buff. Now, I know what you're thinking, all of these buffs at once sounds like he's going to be pretty broken! We've done a lot of testing around how the weapon performs, how it feels like to play against. Concerning the weapon's damage output, we've done small changes to give it the small kick it truly needed.Snipers and Bolt-Action Rifle Velocity
We've also taken a look at Sniper Rifles and the Bolt-Action Rifle. Looking at these Rifle's performance had made us realise how effect these weapons are and how easy to use and master they are, making them incredibly deadly and oppressive in a skilled player's hands.
In light of this we've reduced the Bullet Velocity of the Sniper Rifle, Designated Marksman Rifle and the Bolt-Action Rifle. The knock-ons of these changes result in you needing to lead your shots more often and at ranges of around 80-100 meters, you'll need to start accounting for Bullet Drop/Arcing.
The Outline ShaderAnd as a final note, we've made the difficult decision to remove the recently added Outlines that appear around Infantry at a close distance. As much as this is a fantastic feature to see Infantry from both Houses on different backgrounds easier to see when fighting, it also completely broke the effect of Smoke Grenades.
When an enemy Infantry was concealed inside of a Smoke field, their Outline would appear when you reach within 25 meters of them. So with this, we chose to remove this feature, however it may return if we figure out how to avoid this issue!Here's the change list for Patch 1.0.0.9:
Misc
- Re-enabled Anti-Aliasing
- Disabled Infantry Outlines
Rifles
- Decreased Hawk Sniper Rifle Velocity from 1400 > 700
- Decreased Brain Needle DMR Velocity from 1000 > 600
- Decreased Iphigenia Bolt-Action Rifle Velocity from 1000 > 700
Grenades
- Shock Trooper and Trooper Infantry Classes now have Frag Grenades
- Sniper Infantry Class now have Smoke Grenades
- Designated Marksman Infantry Class now have Frag Grenades
- Decreased Grenade Launcher Explosion Grenade_Splash Warhead against AP Mines & Claymore Armor Mines from 0.750 > 0.400
- Increased Grenade Launcher Damage from 30 > 50
- Increased Grenade Launcher Range from 75 > 150
- Increased Grenade Launcher Bounce Damage from 30 > 50
- Increased Grenade Launcher Bounce Range from 75 > 150
- Increased Grenade Launcher Explosion Damage Radius from 6 > 7
- Increased Grenade Launcher Explosion Damage Inner Radius from 3.5 > 5.5
- Increased Grenade Launcher Aim Helper Rate of Fire from 1 > 8
- Increased Grenade Launcher Aim Helper Range to 150
- Decreased Ducal Frag and Heartplug Grenades Range from 75 > 50
- Increased Ducal Frag and Heartplug Grenades Velocity from 60 > 80
- Increased Ducal Frag and Heartplug Grenades Gravity from 2.25 > 2.50
- Decreased Ducal Frag and Heartplug Grenades Elasticity from 0.05 > 0
- Decreased Ducal Frag and Heartplug Grenades Max Bounces from 10000 > 250
- Increased Ducal Frag and Heartplug Grenades Drag Coefficient from 0 > 0.09
- Decreased Ducal Frag and Heartplug Grenades Explosion DamageRadiusInner from 3.5 > 2.5
- Decreased Ducal Frag and Heartplug Grenades ammo count from 4 > 2That's it for another Game Update!
This was a pretty wordy update, but I hope you guys found it informative all the same! As a reward, why don't you join us for our Battle for Dune: War of Assassins game night tonight (if you're reading this on the 28th of Feb), we hope to see you there!

Hey, sorry I thought the person behind the design choice was going to respond but it looks like they got distracted.
We don't really agree that it's immersion breaking, since we're basing it's movement more off the in-game unit and not the cutscenes where it moved at a pretty high speed for the unit.
This is also because it fills a role of an early, cheap anti-infantry vehicle to move out into the field and try to challenge the buggy. But we don't try to actually match it's speed to the Buggy, so we give it better armour & firepower.
In a Shooter, the balancing doesn't usually match up the same as an RTS. In this respect, we match infantry against infantry and vehicles against vehicles and build the Meta around that. This should hopefully give you better context to my above explanation about why we make it a different, semi fast, anti-infantry, cheap vehicle, kind of like the Nod Buggy, but with clear differences such as firepower output and armour.
Thanks for bringing this discussion point up though and I hope that answers your question. Also as a heads up, all caps posts aren't the best to be taken seriously with ;).0 -
Is this directed at Interm Apex? If so, specify next time.
Now, you're reporting bugs with being unable to pick up the stealth suit and Obelisk Gun power ups. Can you give us more information for this?

Here is a pitch for new updated trailers for the W3DHub Games.
I saw the last teasers and trailers on youtube and their are pretty outdated. Now we have the remaster collection on hand, my idea as a video editor was (for GZ and APB) to mix their gameplay with W3DHub Games to show the transition from RTS into FPS 3D. The same would be apply for TSR, AR and BfD. For other games like IA, ECW and CWC we would need other structual trailer concepts.
Question is, would the higher staff want updated advertisement for the games or not? Also if i would record gameplay i would need a free roam spectator camera mode. We were in talk about this but it never materialized.I actually missed this topic completely when you first posted it. I think this would be a great idea, since some of our trailers are years old at this point and don't fully reflect the current state of our games!

I just wanna go on my own Butlerian Jihad and gas some heebs I MEAN uhhh infidels with the Ordos Chem Trooper.
You guys got Ordos infantry gameplay in the pipeline? That's gotta be unique with the chem trooper, mortar and saboteur. Is the chem trooper the freebie class? If so how is it balanced versus Atreidies and Harkonnen light infantry? Also, does the Harkonnen Flame Trooper beat the Ordos Chem trooper 1v1?
House Ordos is planned, but not for the next major version release due to the amount of work the Vehicle Release is already going to take. But I do have some high-level designs for how each Ordos infantry and vehicle is going to work/play out, but the balance is hopefully going to be able to line up pretty well with the already established weapons. The first place we always start when it comes to House vs House is the Light Infantry, making sure they are evenly balances, then work out the balance from there.
In terms of the Flamethrower vs the Chemical Spray, I'd say with the current balance of the Infantry Release (the publicly released version), the Flamethrower would win every time. However, we're looking at potentially mixing some things up for our Vehicle Release, so things might be a bit closer between the two weapons, but we still need to figure out how we can make the Chemical Spray mechanically different from the already established Flamethrower.

Where is the Kindjal Infantry?
We didn't include the Kindjal Infantry in this version, due to how fast paced the combat is, a deployed stationary unit wouldn't stand much of a chance.
Also, the Kindjal Infantry is a unit that excels at anti-armour combat, which isn't currently present. However, they will be making a return in the next version!

Hey everyone, welcome to another Battle for Dune: War of Assassins Infantry Release September Update! "Two updates in one month, what??", "We barely get 3 a year!" I know, what's happened to us?!
What's New In this patch?
This is a fairly small patch compared to previous ones, but it sure does pack a punch! In this bad boy we've got a tweaked Grenade Launcher, Fixed Building HUD icons, and brand new Shaders! Here's the change List for all this tasty stuff:
- Sniper Rifles now lerp into their scopes
- Fixed missing Master Volume string
- Increased Grenade Launcher Explosion Damage Radius from 4.5 > 6
- Increased Grenade Launcher Explosion Inner Damage Radius from 1.5 > 3.5
- Fixed Building Icons not appearing on the HUD
- Added the new Bloom shaders
- Added new Outline System to infantry that appear at a distance of 25 meter (2nd Radar ring)
New Outline System and Bloom Shader
As mentioned above, we've got two cool new features that improve the graphical and gameplay quality of Battle for Dune, but the Bloom Shader (already seen in Tiberian Sun: Reborn) and the brand new Outline System!
The Bloom Shader adds a new depth to the look and feel to the lands of Arrakis, making the lighting stand out more and object pop to a greater effect!
The Outline system is something new straight off the Romanov press! To break it down for you, it's a process to make readability better for seeing infantry that are close to you. People have been having a lot of trouble on some maps to see House Harkonnen Infantry on night maps and House Atreides Infantry on lighter maps against lighter colours such as cliffs and sand, with this new System it will draw an outline around any Soldier 25 meters away from you.
The colour represents the Soldier's team being Yellow for House Atreides and Red for House Harkonnen. The Outline will fade in within the set range, and fade away when exiting the set range from the enemy Soldier. (As displayed in the image below)
This was a heavily requested feature in the past, but major thanks to Rapp for really pushing the feature request recently and help making it happen!
Saturday Game Night!
Come and join us tomorrow at 7pm GMT for our Battle for Dune Game Night!
That's it for this double whammy Update! We hope you like the sound of the latest changes and see you at the Game Night tomorrow to try them out!

Happy Birthday to Battle for Dune: War of Assassins! It's been 1 whole year since we finally released the Infantry Release for BFD, and as much as things have been a little quiet over the year, we've got another content update for you to celebration the occasion!

If you've ever played a First or Third Person Shooter, you've more than likely played Team Deathmatch! It's a staple of any Shooter Genre, and we at Battle for Dune: War of Assassins thought it was about we introduced it to the sands of Arrakis.
As you'll soon see in-game or notice from the patch notes, currently the only TDM maps in rotation are Conquest maps we've converted over to the new Game Mode! This is largely to test the waters, see how well it truly does fit in BFD and see about making new maps for Team Deathmatch in future.
What's Next?
We've got a few things in the works coming soon that didn't quite make this update, but will be in ones to come!
Keep an eye out for new maps, and more in the coming months. Until then, have a nice warm sand bath and watch out for those sand worms!
[blurb]In this Spicy Update, we celebrate Battle for Dune: War of Assassins' first birthday! With this, we've released a new Game Mode featured on 4 familiar maps, some Grenade tweaks and more![/blurb]

Hello, fellow Worm enjoyers!
It’s difficult to believe that the end of this month will mark a whole year since Battle for Dune: war of Assassins was released. (I know, I know – where did all that time go?)Our next Game Night!
People have been asking for another Game Night, and we aim to deliver. So, we thought, when better than as an anniversary celebration?
We’ve got content planned as part of an upcoming patch for the event, but we don’t want to give away all our secrets just yet!
So, watch out for more updates on what to expect…
The games night will take place on Saturday 2nd September – 20:00 BST / 15:00 EST.
It’ll be coarse, rough, and might get everywhere… but we hope that you actually like it!
As usual, we will be using Discord for voice comms.
Time to... Slide Away.
We’ll be working hard to ensure we have something for you guys to celebrate. So, if there is anything you would like to see, please let us know!
In the meantime, (do) try not to eat all your cinnamon in one teaspoon…

Hello and welcome to a June update (if we don't put an update out in the month that sounds like the theme of the game, what are we even doing?)! It's time to talk about what we've been up to and what we've got planned next!!
Infantry Release Recap
Cast your minds back to the end of August, last year. After almost a decade and a half, Battle for Dune: War of Assassins finally released! But in true W3D Engine fashion, we pushed out an Infantry Only release (because Tiberian Sun: Reborn is our cool, older brother).
What did we achieve with this release?
We were the first brand new released game from W3D Hub, breaking that long running stream of updates, big and small, from Red Alert: A Path Beyond, Expansive Civilian Warfare, Tiberian Sun: Reborn, and Interim Apex.
We were the first W3D Hub title to release with new Gloss and Specular textures and shaders, full infantry inertia movement, First Person only, fully Aim Down Sights gunplay and to show off the wide range of flexible modernized weapon features.
We went with a different approach to traditional W3D titles in terms of game modes, which was Conquest (Capture Point based objective gameplay) instead of focusing on Base vs Base. We released with 6 maps in total, 4 Conquest, 1 Base vs Base and 1 Hybrid (Conquest with Bases), with all the intention to follow up on that map count, but alas that hasn't happened yet.
Ultimately, we achieved what we set out to do. We had every intention of sticking to a healthy post-release support plan, but getting Battle for Dune out the door took it's toll on us and we were left pretty burnt out.
We've managed to get some Quality of Life and bug fix updates out, but none of the maps that were being worked on which were in high demand by you guys. We still do have plans to get some new maps out and a few more QoL improvements pushed out for the Infantry Release, but it's not currently where our biggest motivation lies...What does this mean, TeamWolf?
Vehicle Release Development
As the title suggests, we've entered development on the next Chapter of Battle for Dune, but I hear you asking...
Why are we deciding to do this now?
It's pretty much self explanatory at this point, that our lack of motivation largely comes from wanting to work on the full version of the game - Battle for Dune's Vehicle Release! It's the most requested thing we get when asking what you guys want to see next, and we're no different.
With the 1 year anniversary of our game's launch 2 months away, we felt that we should be getting on with the next installment and bring the full Battle for Dune: War of Assassins experience to you all ASAP!
High Level Plan
Currently we're looking to add new Base Structures, Infantry, Weapons, Vehicle maps and a wide range of audio! More on these will be shown off and explained in future updates!
We're looking at reworking some areas of the game, such as general damage lethality, Shields, Infantry Classes, and a few more. We're also going to be expanding on existing features, such as Capturable Objectives, Weapon handling, and potentially economy.
For now, allow me to introduce the backbone of the Imperium's massive drug addiction and what fuels your Great House's economy, the Spice Harvester!
Concept art by squidempire.
The Spice Harvester is a huge, hulking machine that is designed to operate and withstand the harsh desert environment of Arrakis. These behemoths work in tandem with Carryalls, being ferried to Spice patches on the open sands and back to the base's Refinery.
Spice Harvester model by Romanov.
Signing Off
We hope you enjoyed the update and let us know if you liked what you've seen so far of our New Chapter in Battle for Dune, we'll be showing off more progress as we go.
Remember, stay Spicy![blurb][/blurb]

Tbh, one of the first nice things I noticed playing the game for the first time, was two free combat charaters, that were quite different in terms of role: close quarters machinegunner and long distance fighting rifleman. It is nice to have choice of playstyle. That's why I personally dislike the idea of making rifleman priced. However, if you think this is necessary, let it be.
This is exactly why I haven't done it and it's only been a floating idea! I wanted players to have a choice between those two different roles at the start of a match and when they have next to no money.
It's something to certainly think about, but I am more interested in fine tuning their roles balance better first than making them cost anything. Thank you for your feedback on the idea!

How about rotta carabine? It is very powerful and also has great rof. You literally can rush onto three ppl without thinking about it and win. Moreover, you don't really need too much skill, unlike Iphigenia which requires good aiming skill.
At least these are mine experiences so far.That's a very fair point, and I'll be reviewing the Carbine as well to see how this has effected the balance between them in the long run.
I have been thinking about making the Rifle Infantry cost 150, like the Scout. This would validate how powerful they are better, what do you feel about this idea?
