7 months ago

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

How I handle my game's difficulty with one curve

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.
