Latest Steam announcements

  • Superfluous! ... also the upcoming sequel - 22 November 2025

    I am still working on addressing all the bugs and issues you have mentioned. Look for an update soon addressing those issues. There are several known issues: no one in the raider town, issues with missions after Anchor Rage gets poisoned, clipping issues, etc. Good news, these are mainly cosmetic issues.For those interested, the game is getting a follow-up, and preliminary progress has begun over on itch.io. The game will continue with E.D.I.E. and her shenanigans. This time in space! Alpha is in a playable form. link to the sequel: https://voidedpixels.itch.io/moon-rocks-and-slimes

  • Getting ready for release - 7 September 2025

    Probably nothing new for the next two weeks. I am playing through the game from start to finish, marking any bugs and squashing them. The XP is increased (probably too high tbh), but that is pretty much it.

  • Almost Time To Release - 3 September 2025

    You read that right. I am finally done. There are still a lot of things to do, though. I am doing a complete play-through, and a lot of Steam things are left to do. Also, keys will go out to streamers. If you know any that might be interested in playing my game, let me know.

  • Change Log 0.9.0.3 - 22 August 2025

  • Change Log 0.9.0.1 - 20 August 2025

    - fixed crash when loading new Anura area - fixed prefab loading error - added story cards - updated background

  • Update - patch notes 8/17/25 - 18 August 2025

    It has been a while since I posted. I had some medical issues that made it difficult to finish the game. I might post more on this later, but Steam is for game updates, not my health :). I will try to push it through to the end. CHANGE LOG - There are now cards that display an image and text at some key points in the story to add context and flair. Not all cards are in the game. - added some quests for the new faction, the anura - changed/updated the menu - Had to do a bunch of backend stuff to add the cards and other systems I need to fish the game

    Change Log 9/6/24 Added the ability to drag out and build floors, walls, and roofs. Did some internal changes to make the game more stable Improved some dev tools to create levels/rooms faster Finished the maze layout, just need to populate it with goodies.

  • Update 8/24/24 - 24 August 2024

    A button was added to fix/reset maps. Use this if you have bugs; this won't delete important things. Made it so you can only have 2 followers follow you at a time. You can wear the crown to get 3. Slowed down everything that moves (except projectiles) to make the combat feel smoother. See if you like it better. If you hate it let me know. The speed is set to 75% of what it was. Updated a few sprites and fixed some text boxes. I am still working on the next chapter.

  • Patch NOTES - 16 August 2024

    Hey, it has been a while! Expect some more updates coming up for the third chapter. I am now hard at work making the largest section of the game so far and it is a little more work than I thought it would be. Some of you might know I had some health issues at the beginning of the year and had to pause the actual production of the game (though I was still working through it in my mind (: ), but I am ready to start putting more updates out. I am fine BTW. The section coming out is a large maze complex of interconnected caves. I am also working on the Anura race (frog people), which will inhibit the mountains and irradiated waters. Of course, those who have been around for a while know that art (for me) takes a lot of time. Programming I can do... art is getting faster? Anyway here are some things I remember working on and are in the update: Chairs, beds, and a few other things are now 4-w…

  • Sand: A Superfluous Game - EA 0.8.11 - 10 March 2024

    Finished missions for Act 2 Added new weapons (MG and Laser Rifle) Re-wrote some backend stuff. Should help me build things quicker. Added a new cave-style roof that turns off lights when entering. Might make this the default for all roofs? Many locations added Improved the AI for rhino enemies. Still need to work on this.

  • Initial Update to current Stable Build - 22 September 2023

    More coming later but I need to test it. The upcoming build will complete the ACT 2 main story. I will then focus on a few side missions I would like to add before moving on to the 3rd ACT. Thank you all for your patience as I navigate my new family structure :)

  • Fixed an issue with church - 28 April 2023

    Fixed an issue with the holy relic not appearing in the church.

  • Merchants and two 'new' weapons - 27 April 2023

    Change Log Added a merchant to the game which is actually a new location. Merchants sell gear. I'll probably also add merchant booths in other places. Added a metal boomerang and bow. More damage and range.

Short description

An open-world, base-building, adventure game with quirky humor and llamas. Explore the wasteland of Alaska smashing skeletons in your supped-up cab and trading veggies with the native rhino people. Do the bidding of a mysterious cube from space and unlock the secrets of the desert.

About this game

KEY FEATURES: Crafting: Craft weapons and gear to help you survive the harsh wasteland. Base Building: Build a base of operations to research, craft, and exploit the desert's finite resources. Exploration: Explore a world via an overworld map filled with interesting places and random encounters. Story: Enjoy a story filled with mystery and humor Growth: Get stronger naturally by crafting, hunting, building, and shooting your way through the wasteland. Sand Power: Unlock the powers of the desert EX: Sand Wall, Rock Throw, Sand Decoy, and Glass Blast. GAMEPLAY: The game will take place in a top-down format. There will be a base that the player can build and upgrade. The base will be essential to the story and tied to upgrading the player's skills, gear, and stats. The player will control one person but can team up with several AI-controlled teammates to tackle harder missions. Traveling in the world will be done via a map (think of Fallout 1 and 2). The player can explore the map and find locations and towns to trade and get missions from. Controls will include mouse and keyboard (later will add controller support). The player will also have the ability to unlock different powers for his exo-suit EX: stealth, mass fear, and sand-related powers (sand/fireball, sand wall, sand trap, etc.). The player will also be able to breed llamas to ride (and possibly race them) and eventually unlock cars to travel further into the Alaskan wasteland. Traveling is restricted to the amount of water the player carries. You'll be able to upgrade the amount of water carried and the travel speed to allow the player to explore further from their base. Beware, though, the further you go out, the more dangerous it becomes. Player death will not be perma-death, although as a game designer, I do believe in some sort of punishment for death. The idea of loss makes the game more exciting and fun. STORY: 999 years following the events of The UWN Superfluous' mission to save the earth, the pieces of the asteroid in which the fabled ship was destroyed crashed into Earth, causing massive destruction and loss of life. Many years later, the remainder of humanity clings to life in the dr…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $9.99
  • Highest observed: $9.99

Sand: A Superfluous Game's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $9.99, the highest is $9.99, and the first visible tracked price is $9.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Sand: A Superfluous Game's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99. The latest run records $9.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $9.99
  • Current list price: $9.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Sand: A Superfluous Game at $9.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
