Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel - patch notes!
Just before the Early Access release, I made the decision to pull the merchant and trading system from the launch build. The foundations were there, but I wasn't happy enough with how it worked and, especially, how it controlled.I'd rather hold something back for a little longer than release a system that doesn't feel ready.After some more work, testing, and polish, I think it's ready!You can meet...

Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel (DEMO)
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...

Under a Desert Sun - Development Update – The Daunting Final Stretch
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...

Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel - Small dev update
Small development updateI’m currently doing a cleanup pass on the area maps in Under a Desert Sun. Until now, many of them were still temporary maps based on literal top-down screenshots from the editor, with a shader applied on top. That worked fine while building and testing, but it never really looked like a proper part of the game.Thats better!The goal now is to bring those maps to a usable st...

Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the cursed Vessel - Home stretch!
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...
