None of us ever worked as a lumberjack, and it shows in the game. Marco here is spending hours punching a log. Marco is not getting paid.

It's over, we sacrificed realism for aesthetics once again. Since we couldn't have decent lighting inside buildings, now the sunlight magically goes through the roof when the player is inside a building.

We called our game Dustgrave: A Sandbox RPG because "Oh God, it's so much easier to create arid environments!" is not that good of a title.

And because it's a sandbox RPG.

And there's at least a grave, somewhere.

We developed a complex system of Relationships and Records for Dustgrave, so that all important events can be tracked and NPCs can react to them depending on their beliefs.

In this video, we explain how it works!

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

In Dustgrave, NPCs will remember what the player does, and react accordingly. So, don't go around stealing too much if you care about your reputation.

Dustgrave's will soon receive a massive update, adding variety and balance to the combat system!

One of the best things we made for Dustgrave is dynamic settlements. Town can be conquered, destroyed, infested, and occupied by different factions, with furniture and decorations changing accordingly!
