As promised, before we move into the Early Access release on September 10, I wanted to update the demo so it better represents the game as it will be released in Early Access.I’ve made it part of the company motto that buying a game should feel fair and complete, and having a proper, representative demo is part of that promise. The same goes for things like no microtransactions or season passes, w...

Lately, development has been a strange mix of excitement and exhaustion.I’ve been recording footage for the upcoming release trailer, but every full run also turns into another extensive testing session. Roughly every 45 minutes, I still seem to uncover something that needs fixing—sometimes a minor visual issue, sometimes an old bug that has somehow survived for months.It is honestly a little daun...

Small development updateI’m currently doing a cleanup pass on the area maps in Under a Desert Sun.

Act 1 is playable from start to finish, the main story route is complete, and the core systems are all in place. That said, I’m currently deep in bugfixing and polish. Some ...

Alright, with release coming closer, I think it’s wise to start repeating what the initial Early Access release will contain, and what will come later.What will be there:The main goal for release is that the entirety of Act 1 (of 4 planned acts) is available and fully playable in both single-player and 4-player local co-op.In addition, 2 of the promised 4 classes (and hopefully eventually 6) will ...

Alright, quick update.As you know, Early Access is planned once Act 1 is fully playable and at least 2 of the 4, hopefully 6, classes are ready. Local 4-player co-op is, of course, a must.The good news is that both classes and co-op are already in a solid, playable state. There are still some bugs, but the core experience holds up well. What remains is finishing the Act 1 content. Features like re...
