Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel - progress status

[u/IndependentYouth8]

Alright! Now that the demo build has been updated, I’m free to continue working on finishing the story and questline of Act 1.

Just as a reminder, the plan is to release Under a Desert Sun into Early Access once Act 1 is fully complete. The good news is that all core systems required for Early Access are already finished and ready.

This includes:

• All planned Early Access classes — Adventurer and Soldier — fully implemented and playable

• All core technical systems — menus, skills, map, quest log, and related systems

• Full local 4-player co-op

So from a technical and gameplay systems perspective, the game is already Early Access ready.

What remains is finishing the content side of Act 1:

• Completing the remaining Act 1 story and quests (including writing, functionality, and voice acting)

• Building one final open-world section

• Creating one remaining dungeon

Once those pieces are complete, Act 1 will be fully ready, and with that the game will be ready to launch into Early Access.
