The last part of the story is coming soon to Sands, after that, I believe I have around 1 month more work of polish, and honestly, the game is quite done 🥲

When I started working on Sands My wife asked me "What's your goal with this project" and I answered "I guess, if 10 people worldwide will play it, I think I'll be happy".

I think I've hit my goal :)

My game is breaking the @gamingonlinux.com percent distribution ahahah I guess itch.io brings in more Linux gamers. at least it's much higher then the @steampowered.com survey data of 3%

Do I continue working on Sands or do I play Caves Of Qud (@cavesofqud.com)? this is the endless question 🥲

Sneak peek into Sands next release, Ride!

I wanted my worm riding to be much more then just a "use this item for quick travel" I wanted it to feel real.

Position, Hook in the right place, every mistake means HP loss or death.

I'm working this weekend on the new abilities for the Sietch Protector, a Crysknife expert, they can stack Mastery with every hit and then use that resource for chain attacks

From time to time it's good to take a step back and look at the whole thing, I set out to create a fun #dune themed game because I wanted to play one, from that point I got to a Discord with 23 people already, around 100 downloads in Itch, and an actual community!
