Under a Desert Sun - Development Update – The Daunting Final Stretch

Lately, development has been a strange mix of excitement and exhaustion. I’ve been recording footage for the upcoming release trailer, but every full run also turns into another extensive testing session.

Lately, development has been a strange mix of excitement and exhaustion.

I’ve been recording footage for the upcoming release trailer, but every full run also turns into another extensive testing session. Roughly every 45 minutes, I still seem to uncover something that needs fixing—sometimes a minor visual issue, sometimes an old bug that has somehow survived for months.

It is honestly a little daunting. On one hand, it is wonderful to see how far the game has come. On the other, each complete playthrough reminds me how much polish still goes into making an Early Access game feel truly solid.

The good news is that these recording sessions are helping me squash a lot of those remaining issues. The final voice acting is nearly complete, trailer production is moving forward, and the game is steadily becoming more stable and refined.

For now, it is back to testing, fixing, recording—and then doing it all over again.

The current goal is to release the game in Early Access this September.
