Niall McGeehan, Game Director at Rocket Flair Studios, heralds the arrival of our latest Dev Vlog - offering an exclusive glimpse into the inner workings of the latest development progress. In this month's installment, we’re looking at the intricacies of the new and enhanced gameplay features and systems, with a strong focus on survival mechanics, the delicate balance of resource management, and laying the foundation for your first settlement. [previewyoutube=BVr-eTFE43Y;full][/previewyoutube] At the beginning, players need to ensure the survival of their people in order to begin building their ancient empire. Starting in a brand new settlement, the camp serves as the center of our owned territory, from which we can expand our empire deeper into the desert, along the banks of the Nile, or even across its waters. Survival forms the very essence of [i]Dynasty of the Sands[/i], the primary goal that permeates every facet of the game. Though technological advancements, infrastructure enhancements and governance reforms offer respite to some survival pressures, it remains a constant challenge. Players' first priorities lie in safeguarding the health and survival of their villagers, centering efforts on securing essentials such as water, shelter, resources, and food. Watch the latest vlog to gain greater insights into each crucial aspect required for survival. In our upcoming developer diaries, we aim to explore each gameplay pillar in greater depth. We welcome your input on what aspects you are more eager to learn about – so please let us know in the comments. Remember to keep an eye out on the upcoming Closed Beta, you can request access on the Steam page and stay updated through our Discord! Until next time… May the blessings of Ra guide your path. ————— [i]Dynasty of the Sands[/i] is available to Wishlist on [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1143070/Dynasty_of_the_Sands/?beta=0]Steam[/url] now!
