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're working on a Disguise System for Dustgrave, so that players can cosplay as members of other factions, and mess with NPCs in many new, chaotic ways!

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!

Our 2024 Advent Calendar has opened! Day 18: @Otis_Le_PoOtis is the Creator of Bondee’s Barnyard and posts updates about their dev journey and their work on the sequel!) Accept the quest and give them a follow to get Coins and a seasonal sticker!

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.

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Are you working on a game?

Making some art?

Practicing a song?

Something else?

Tell us in the comments!

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.

@Miles_Games is a Jolter to Watch! They post great game dev updates about the holiday-themed platformer TEAM SLAY-BELLS! Follow them before the quest ends on December 24 and you'll get Coins!

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.
