Two websites.
The world of Arrakis.

Guided by cutting-edge web technologies and design principles, we created two websites: DuneAwakening.com and DuneSpiceWars.com. DuneAwakening.com offered an interactive journey through the world of Arrakis, using parallax scrolling, stunning visuals, and animations to introduce fans to the film adaptation.

DuneSpiceWars.com showcased gameplay features, stunning artwork, and exclusive content. It also encouraged users to join the growing community and sign up for the game’s beta version.
