The developers of the SAND game announced that after a recent playtest, they received a lot of feedback on the project’s name, so they decided to change it.
«From your feedback, we learned that the name 'SAND' limits its popularity and no longer fully reflects how the game has evolved over its development,» the Hologryph studio reported.
The developers decided to choose a name for the game that «better reflects its world and plot» and makes it easier for players to find. The project is now called SAND: Raiders Of Sophie.
In a playtest in late October, SAND players were able to try out two modes in Storm Dive and Voyage. The former focuses on action, while the latter offers the project’s classic gameplay with exploration and loot.
«Together with other smugglers, you will land on the planet Sophie aboard your trampler and race against time to explore, loot, and get out safely before the world is engulfed by a devastating sandstorm,» the developers describe Storm Dive.
SAND was previously expected to be released in early access on Steam on April 3. However, Hologryph decided to postpone the release and focus on optimization after closed playtests.
dev.ua spoke with the head of the Hologryph studio, Maksym Khrapai, about the development challenges, the release date postponement, gameplay features, and how the team is preparing for the release.
SAND: Raiders Of Sophie is expected to be released this year, and the developers are expected to announce its release date soon.
