Hi there!

I just started my new indiegame Dune and Run. It is an open world running game where you have to explore the desert, find places and locations, discover secrets and events, help poor thirsty people for a relaxing and emotional first person experience.

In the final game there will be these features:

• Explore a quite big map open world with various locations for a long time experience

• Relax in a calm an quiet enviroment to regain some energy and reduce stress

• Help poor people who need water. This will make you feel like a good person

• Collect titles for your character from the people you helped to have some rewards for your good actions

The game begins  to take shape. Here's the main menu. In the future I think I'll make a video on it

I started to create the first map and here you can see a little village

I also decided to do this game more explore focused than running one. So i made some changing in the description

Today i made the first npc of the game. This is how it works: you will find on the map some thirsty npcs. When you give them some water, they will give you a random title as a reward such as "Good spirit of the deser". In the game there will be different collectable titles to unlock

Finally you can see some gameplay session. Enjoy your first visit on the desert!

I worked on improvments on the map, some gameplay changes and minor things

Today I added to the game the first type of npcs. Basically this is how npc system works: you find these guys, you can give them some water, they will reward you with a random title from the (future) collectable titles. This way the game feels rewarding and not only relaxing!

I added the pause menu while you're playing. So if you want to stop the game a bit, you can do it . I think a playtesting version is going to arrive soon. So stay up to date to know more and take your personal copy

This video summarizes what I did between yesterday and today.

1-Added Pause Menu: this way you can stop the game during gameplay, if you have to do other things

2-Water improvement: now water moves and feels a little bit more natural.  Now you can enjoy it more and relax hearing its sound

3-Titles: I added the titles system. Npcs will give you a random titles when you help them. And you can see it in the title menu. The game has more replayability and you can spend more time on it

Also prepare for  the upcoming free playtesting version ready to be played by you!

News:

1-Bigger map. This is the map you will see in the final release. It's quite big so you can explore and have more fun cause it takes more time

2-Two new location: Ancient Ruins and Lost Village in the desert. I think I will add other little places and events so the game is less boring and you have more things to do

News:

1-One new type of npc a female one in 2 versions: purple and green

2-Changed the color of sand so it's more nice to see and it's pleaseant for your eyes

3-Added all unlockable titles. In total 6 for more fun and time to spend on the game

Added the first type of animals: Vultures.  The desert now is more realistic and you can have fun watching and hearing this big birds

Today I added dromedaries to the map. By walking through sands you will find some herds of these cute animals. So you can enjoy more the natural landscape

Happy to have added today an immersive start cutscene. You will be instantly put in the game with this little, deep intro. Enjoy the video

Today I share with you some little timelapse in blender. Enjoy the video!

News:

-3 different snake type now in the map

Have fun finding them and admiring these little creatures!

Added boats in the sea that moves. The map feels more alive this way

I added groups of bedouins in the map. You can find them also alone They are typical people of the desert so I absolutely had to add them!

Now you can find a little oasis near the lost town in the map. Also I added some good feedback sound to the main menu

I'm happy to annouce that the game will be released on Monday 27 January 2020. See the video

Today I added a little controls hint when you start the game. It's more easy now to remeber them and you don't have to check for them!

I'm fixing some bugs in the game. Today I completed the reward system and now it should be fully functional. See the video  for more
