[ 2023-09-21 15:50:00 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello everyone,
Welcome back for this brand new Devlog! In our previous update, we introduced you to the concept of caravan actives, and today we're excited to talk about our upcoming weather system!
But before we dive in, we have an important announcement to make.
We've chosen to push back the Early Access launch of Sandwalkers to the beginning of 2024. This extra time will give us the opportunity to fine-tune and perfect the game, so we can offer you the best possible experience. We're grateful for your patience and support throughout this project. In the meantime, please stay tuned for many more development updates and exciting surprises. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us!
In the vast world of Uwando, you'll encounter weather phenomena that can make survival challenging for wandering caravans. This meteorological chaos is known as the Phithi.
During your travels, you may come across various weather types such as Sandstorms and Acid Downpours :
In each playthrough, you'll discover different weather phenomena depending on the regions you explore, which will significantly impact how you approach your journey on the world map. The choice is yours whether to brave these challenges or take a more cautious path.
You might ask, why would you choose to go through this chaos?
Well, these weather phenomena seriously limit your visibility and, at the same time, present their own set of unique challenges and rewards!
In them, you will encounter some new types of enemies.
These elementals can only be found within the weather phenomena on the map, as they are a manifestation of the Phithi's unrest.
The weather you encounter can modify certain elements of the map, causing watchtowers to collapse and wells to become contaminated with acid.
In conclusion, as you start your adventure in Uwando, the chaotic weather can be both your greatest challenge and a source of unique rewards.
Thank you for following Sandwalkers development, stay tuned for more updates soon!

"Every decade, the Mka tribe sends caravans of adventurers into the Phithi, the meteorological chaos that keeps the Uwando tribes isolated from each other and makes life outside the refuges almost impossible.
Their mission: to establish diplomatic and trade relations, to explore and reclaim the lands left to the mercy of monsters and pirates, and, most importantly, to plant a new tree city that can become a refuge for the Mka and their allies. Regardless of the success or failure of their mission, the caravans must send the memories they have gained back to the capital, using the crystospheres carried by traveling beetles.
At the start of your run, recruit four characters to lead the caravan and achieve your goals in an ever-changing landscape. Each character has a different job and a unique skill that significantly impact gameplay. It's up to you to explore lost ruins as an archaeologist or to track down massive creatures as a hunter.

While managing your food supplies, explore the different regions and benefit from the various biomes by gathering unique resources. Visit cities, establish diplomatic relations with other tribes, and make both short-term and long-term decisions.

Fight and survive through acid rain, sandstorms, or heatwaves. The weather influences character movement and combat difficulty.

Expand the number of shelters by planting new tree cities, pass on your knowledge to a new caravan through memories stored in the crystal library, and put an end to the meteorological chaos. Don't lose sight of your main goal: reviving the Mother Tree, Umama.
