Dune: Awakening, the upcoming survival MMO based on Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece, has shown off its base-building systems for the first time.
In a video posted on Twitter, lead game designer Leo Welter walks us through the early stages of base building, stating that "shortly after starting out, you'll be able to claim land and build your first base." From there, you can upgrade and decorate, gaining access to more advanced technology as you go, but Welter also points out that the threat inherent to life on Arrakis means that you'll also have to shield your base from threats. Presumably that means building on a pretty solid foundation to ensure that no Shai-Hulud make their way up through your floor.
