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.

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.

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!

It took a lot of work, but now Dustgrave's sunsets can truly instill joy and calm.

Unless you are the guy with the massive quest mark on his head, surrounded by bodies.

He's probably a little stressed right now.

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.

We made all settlements dynamic in Dustgrave, so that you can experience the "wow I can commit war crimes" part of playing a sandbox RPG.

So, we added mafia-style mobs to our fantasy RPG. And it looks like they already had a quest for me! Luckily, we have no in-game models of horses...
