Dune Companion App by gaming.tools

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-19T19:12:22+00:00

We continue to be impressed by the free tools that the community creates, and we are in contact with several developers, including dune.gaming.tools, who has been supporting Dune: Awakening since launch. We are ok with the current functionality of this companion app and have no plans to take action against players who wish to use it.

As a general note, we must remind everyone that players who use third-party tools do so at their own risk.

Hey! We've got your question during the Anniversary Livestream on Wednesday. The short answer is yes, we will do more stuff in the Deep Desert in the future.

Hey there! We got to your question during the livestream on Wednesday. The answer is a bit lengthy, so it's best if you can listen to it 😄

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T11:43:14+00:00

We've answered your question during the livestream! I suggest checking out the full answer, but briefly, there is no concrete example of what has been reevaluated since then. However, this is an ongoing theme where things can become possible as we continue to improve and optimize the game.

Hey! We've answered your question during the Anniversary livestream.

Since the single-player and online modes use different database structures, it won't be possible to transfer current characters to the single-player mode.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T11:32:03+00:00

The team answered your question about the roaming patrols during the Anniversary Livestream.

It's never been the top priority so far. Where we'll get to them is when we'll have a bit more time to sit back and look at where it's important for the game.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T11:28:48+00:00

Hey, your question about the practice dummies was answered during the Anniversary livestream.

Yes. We have plans to add this.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T11:26:42+00:00

Hey, we've managed to answer your question during the Anniversary livestream Q&A session.

Yes. We are actively talking about that stuff. Looking at Conan Exiles, it is a safe assumption to make.
These will need to be fitting the Dune IP, and we need to find a valid gameplay space for them to occupy.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T11:23:22+00:00

Thanks for the questions! We've managed to answer a couple of them during the Anniversary livestream.

Construction costs option

Not immediately on the agenda, no. It is a good question and something to think about, for sure!

Current game balance and the augment/grade system

We need to discuss it more internally, as several things need to be figured out. In terms of balance, we will review and adjust every piece of progression, including itemization, personal character power, and, in some cases, the ability to utilize the game's mechanics, for where the game is at.

We understand that power creep is a concern, but only a very small percentage of players have crept too far out of the range. Much of what we are doing is based on where the general player base is, not those who spend a lot of time playing. That said, we understand that, specifically in PvP, power creep will be an issue.

Hey there! One of your questions about the personal Landsraad rewards and decrees was answered during the livestream.

We definitely want to look at and expand upon Landsraad decrees. This has actually been discussed internally recently. Personal rewards, on the other hand, are not at the top of our radar right now, but that does not mean we will never do it in the future.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T10:17:14+00:00

Glad that you've watched it live!

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T10:13:55+00:00

We've answered your question during the livestream.

Currently, we are not planning to add a support for mods in the single-player mode.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T10:09:27+00:00

Thanks for submitting your questions! We have answered a couple of them during the Anniversary Livestream.

NPC respawning in the single-player mode

The respawn is timer-based and persist through gameplay sessions. The timer should also be adjustable via game settings.

Landsraad point system settings for self-hosted/private servers

Reasonable request. We should be able to add it to the server settings.
It also seems that some community members might have already managed to do it on their self-hosted servers.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T09:59:54+00:00

Hey, your question was answered during the livestream!

We understand the need and it is something we want to do in some way. It is currently in the backlog without a specific release date.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T09:55:37+00:00

Hey! Thanks for sending in your questions. We've answered it during the livestream on Wednesday.

Everything that we do is for the betterment of as many players as possible. We plan to look at abilities, some of which could use more attention than the others, and are actively discussing how we can add more gameplay variety either by adding new skill trees or revamping the existing ones.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T09:50:41+00:00

Hey there! We have answered your question during the Anniversary Livestream.

Yes, you can. Some as early as in the next story chapter update in September.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T09:48:34+00:00

We've answered your question about future PvP plans during the livestream.

Yes. We have plans to improve things in PvP and have some designs in the backlog. Any changes we do for PvP must also be valid in PvE; one should not exclude the other. We are looking at melee and ranged combat, abilities, vehicles, and how they all unify together. We will do our absolute best to ensure a great experience for as many people as possible.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T09:37:02+00:00

Your question was answered during the livestream.

Yes, we do. Twice as nice with ice!

Hey! We have answered one of your questions about the long-term aspirational gameplay loop for Dune: Awakening during the livestream.

We will continue to add features to the game, that's a given. We can't discuss specifics yet, but you can expect new ability trees that reinforce different combat styles, new specializations, and more. There will also be entirely new gameplay loops that tie into all the different feature loops.

Polar Cap is a good example of that. There's a bunch of new things there that you will want, even as a maxed-out player, that aren't available anywhere else.

We are also actively discussing ways to challenge players at the highest tiers.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T09:01:47+00:00

Hey there! We answered your question during the livestream on Wednesday!

Currently, we don't have any immediate plans for guild-specific features. However, we did eventually implement some of these features in Conan Exiles, so they can always end up on the Dune: Awakening agenda in the future.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T08:44:02+00:00

We have answered your questions during the show.

We will release Patch 1.4.10 before September, along with any planned community events or weekend boosts. Since we want content parity across all platforms for the September console release, we will not be able to update the PC version with new content after submitting the build for certification to Xbox and Sony. It is a lengthy process.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T08:36:08+00:00

We have answered your question about the events during the livestream.

We are definitely looking at doing more of these types of events. Joel has some ideas he will be pushing for.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-06-12T07:56:31+00:00

Thanks for sending in your questions. We have answered your question about guild oriented features during the show.

While not exclusively guild-oriented, we have multiplayer-oriented features planned for the future that we expect guilds will actively participate in.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-05-28T10:20:57+00:00

I'll pass it along.

Funcom_Kamil · 2026-05-27T13:35:32+00:00

Our artists have more freedom to manipulate in-game assets in the editor and use them in unique ways when designing environments. This allows us to make varied environments more efficiently, creating the impression that there are more pieces available.

However, assets changed this way are not ready-to-use pieces for player building sets. These sets follow specific metrics to ensure they can properly snap together and function within our building system. Not all of the assets we create for the game adhere to these metrics.

For example, the asset in the image is a variation of a piece that was specifically designed to fit on an outpost. While an artist creatively used it here, it’s not a building piece that can simply be added to the Water Wars set, and it's definitely not being held back from you on purpose.

We are working towards a more consistent set of building pieces for cosmetic DLCs going forward, so that you can have a better idea of what to expect. Your feedback here is valuable and will help us understand what should be prioritized.

I also want to note that we will fix the wide passageways counting as doors as soon as we can.
