The Battle for Arrakis

GETREKT Labs partnered with Lurkit and Funcom to transform Dune: Awakening into a cross-creator competition, pitting House Atreides against House Harkonnen in a battle for supremacy.

Using GETREKT Vision, our proprietary computer vision technology that automatically detects and tracks in-game activity without requiring direct game integration, creators earned campaign XP through gameplay achievements across Combat, Harvesting and Exploration, generating House Influence for their chosen faction. Audiences joined the fight through interactive mini-games, contributing additional XP towards their House's progress.

Every contribution helped drive the live leaderboards and unlock collective milestones, rewarding communities with exclusive in-game giveaways and triggering charitable donations from Funcom to charity: water, ultimately raising $20,000 for the cause.

Bringing Arrakis to Twitch

To bring the battle for Arrakis into each creator's broadcast, GETREKT Labs developed a suite of custom Twitch overlays, animations and interactive stream assets inspired by the world of Dune: Awakening.

Featuring House-branded visuals, real-time XP tracking, campaign progress displays and interactive audience mini-games, the assets connected gameplay and viewer participation directly to the wider competition. Designed to work seamlessly across participating channels, the production package gave creators a cohesive, immersive broadcast experience while allowing their communities to follow progress and contribute towards their chosen House.

Tracking XP with Vision

The campaign marked the debut of GETREKT Vision, our proprietary computer vision technology designed to automatically recognise and track in-game activity without requiring direct game integration.

Operating through OBS, GETREKT Vision detected XP earned across Combat, Exploration and Harvesting, automatically converting gameplay achievements into House Influence. These contributions fed directly into live leaderboards and campaign milestones, connecting individual creator performance to the wider competition between Atreides and Harkonnen.

By automating gameplay tracking that would traditionally require manual reporting or moderation, GETREKT Vision significantly reduced the resources needed to manage large-scale creator campaigns. This technology enables campaigns to scale across hundreds or potentially thousands of streams with minimal additional operational overhead beyond infrastructure costs, opening up new possibilities for interactive gaming activations.

Turning Viewers into XP Farmers

The battle for Arrakis extended beyond the creators themselves, giving Twitch viewers the opportunity to directly contribute XP towards their House through interactive audience mini-games.

As creators levelled up across Combat, Harvesting and Exploration, themed mini-games were triggered, inviting viewers to participate using Twitch chat commands. For example, entering !build allowed viewers to help construct weapons when Combat levelled up, while Harvesting challenges encouraged communities to gather additional resources.

These interactions generated additional XP towards their House's progress, turning gameplay milestones into opportunities for audience participation and giving viewers a meaningful role in the wider competition.

The Battle for House Supremacy

Dune Awakening

Creator Rivalry

The campaign united 133 creators under two rival factions, House Atreides and House Harkonnen, transforming individual gameplay achievements and audience-generated XP into a shared, cross-stream competition.

Every XP contribution generated House Influence, with live leaderboards tracking individual creator performance and the collective progress of each faction. A dedicated campaign microsite brought everything together, allowing creators and viewers to follow the competition, compare House rankings and track progress towards community milestones.

By connecting participating streams through a single competitive experience, the campaign encouraged collaboration, friendly rivalry and ongoing audience engagement, giving every creator and their community a role in the battle for Arrakis.

$20,000 Raised for Charity: Water

Turning XP into Charity Donations

The battle for Arrakis wasn't just about House supremacy. Every XP contribution helped unlock charitable donation milestones, with Funcom pledging donations to charity: water as the community progressed.

Through gameplay achievements tracked by GETREKT Vision and XP generated by audience mini-games, creators and viewers worked towards shared donation thresholds, regardless of their House allegiance. This gave both rival factions a common purpose beyond the competition.

Together, their efforts unlocked $20,000 in charitable donations, demonstrating how interactive gaming campaigns can turn gameplay achievements and audience engagement into meaningful real-world impact.

Automated Giveaways

Community Rewards

Alongside charitable donations, collective XP milestones unlocked exclusive Dune: Awakening giveaways, rewarding participating communities for their contributions throughout the campaign.

The activation also marked the debut of GETREKT's rewards distribution platform, providing a centralised system for managing digital rewards and code redemption. Through Twitch authentication, viewers could access their rewards and redeem exclusive in-game cosmetics and DLC.

By combining milestone-driven giveaways with a dedicated rewards platform, GETREKT created a seamless connection between audience engagement, campaign progression and tangible in-game rewards.

    I knew GetRekt would be a great fit from the start. Coming from a creator background, I know how much chat interaction and engagement matter, and they’ve built genuinely unique tools that are really simple for creators to set up. Support was incredible, the tech is impressive, everything was always above board and they went above and beyond. We couldn’t have been happier with the outcome.
