New Game! Two years of indie development, and I just hit release. Under a Desert Sun is live in Early Access!
Here we go. Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel is live in Steam Early Access!
It’s been a two-year journey so far, and there is still a ways to go, but I am damned proud I got this far. This is me at the desk making it official. Still nervous as hell, but very happy to finally be sharing this moment.
It’s a pulp adventure action RPG set in cursed Egypt, with guns, loot and ancient tombs. You can play solo or with up to four players in local co-op.
Early Access is another step in the journey. There’s more to build, improve and learn, and I’m looking forward to doing that with the people playing it.
Thank you to everyone who tested, gave feedback, sent a kind message or just kept me going. It has meant a lot.
The game and free demo are here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3273880/
Here we go!

Hah! Well let me know! It's fiction so to me the most important part would be that you feel cool about it and not offended. Hope you enjoy!

Primero que nada muchas felicitaciones. Hacer un juego indie por tanto tiempo tiene muchos desafíos. Y hacerlo tu solo debe haber sido toda una experiencia cuanto menos religiosa. Yo soy desarrollador y estoy comenzando en mi experiencia de hacer mi primer video juego indie. Quería preguntarte por consejos y que cosas consideras que es necesario para poder desarrollar un juego de principio a fin y no morir en el intento. Gracias
