- Version 0.5.0 is here! New bosses, arenas, weapons, quests... - 23 September 2023
Greetings, gladiators! Finally, after a long time, we got to release v0.5.0 for Gods of Sand! The key point of this update is obviously the continued progression for the game. We've added the final 2 bosses. I say final, but this is still not the endgame, as we'll be adding the tower, which will give the player a final challenge. Together with the bosses we've added everything around it, like new weapons and armor, arenas, music, etc... Also, we've added the last two passive skills that were missing. Also, we've added a questline to the game, trying to tie everything around a main lore, which won't give choices to the player, but will try to give more sense to everything you're doing. For the next patch, we'll be focusing on adding more content around what already exists instead of moving further with the storyline, so expect to see new usable items, new quests and changes to existing s…
- Alpha v0.4 is here, with a lot of new things - 22 October 2022
Greetings, gladiators! As promised, alpha 0.4 is finally here! Its been 6 months of works, rethinking some of the systems, creating new assets, new stories and more content. We think that releasing all new content at once is a better way to tackle updates, for some reasons: 1. it's easier to correct bugs when you already have all systems in place and you know you won't be changing the moving parts all the time. 2. Its a better experience for the returning player to get a couple more hours of gameplay, than every week getting a few minutes worth of new content. We intend on keeping this type of work, releasing fewer but better updates for the game. When you boot the game on this new version, you'll see a roadmap telling you what to expect for the next updates down the line. Now, let's talk about the new stuff! Some of the highlights of this new version are: A new "pre-battle" UI. Now you…
- What we've being working on! - 25 April 2022
Greeting, gladiators! It's been a while since our last update... After releasing the game we focused on balancing stuff and fixing bugs based on your feedbacks (and we did a lot of it), but a lot of the ideas you guys gave us were not that simple to implement, so we're taking our time building those systems, as they're not things that can be presented in a "halfway" state. What we've been focusing on these last couple months is expanding the game experience, as one of the main critics a lot of players had was about how short the game was (its possible to beat it in about 2 to 3 hours at this point), so we're finishing the process of drawing 2 new bosses. Also, we're adding battles against beasts, as fighting the same human opponents over and over gets old quickly. Here's the next arena's boss and a big dog (we're also implementing lions atm): https://i.imgur.com/vFnCflA.gif No, the boss…
