| Community | Desert Journal #4 Hey everyone, we're back with a (belated) monthly progress report. The scenes are rendered, the animations are ready to start rendering, and we've already started putting the update together. Dialogue, music, etc. Some of the minor scenes are already close to done, which allows us to focus primarily on the meat of the update - Ivy's part. And that is a quite big part, her quest arc in this upda… | — | |
| Community | Desert Journal #3 Hey everyone, time for another quick monthly report. Ivy's scene keeps being on full swing at the moment. Lots of different environments and situation throughout this event, although calling it an "event" is probably not doing it justice. It is probably more on par with the big exploration chain of events and aftermath (with Shani & the Queen) a couple updates ago, as there is a lot of going on… | — | |
| Community | Desert Journal #2 Hey everyone, time for another monthly report. For the past month, the main focus has been Ivy's upcoming scene that we mentioned in the previous article. It's shaping up to be quite a hefty scene, but it's one we have planned for roughly 3 years now, and we're hoping it turns out exactly like how we imagined it, or at least as close as possible. When it comes to progress and numbers I would sa… | — | |

| Major update | Desert Stalker 0.20 Update Hey everyone! Welcome to 0.20 - it took some time, but here we are. First off, thank you for your patience!
