tinyBuild, the renowned publisher, has recently announced their latest project, SAND, a thrilling cooperative and competitive online sandbox FPS. Developed by Hologryph, the creators of the cult multiplayer hit Secret Neighbor, SAND transports players into a harsh steampunk post-apocalyptic world. This vast desert setting challenges gunslinging smugglers to fight for survival, glory, and loot.
Exploring the Desolate Wasteland
SAND takes players on an immersive journey through a treacherous steampunk post-apocalyptic desert. Equipped with your Trampler, a colossal walking ship, you will traverse the vast ocean floor that has now transformed into a dry and perilous wasteland. As a lone wolf or part of a crew, your goal is to scavenge resources and seek out valuable treasures hidden on abandoned urban “islands.” However, extracting these riches comes with its own set of risks.
The Trampler: Your Home, Your Fortress
In SAND, the Trampler is not just a means of transportation; it serves as your home and fortress. These walking ships are highly customizable and upgradeable, allowing you to personalize your Trampler according to your playstyle. Fill it with creature comforts, store precious cargo in the hold, or enhance its capabilities to withstand the deadly toxic zones of the desert. Alternatively, you can reinforce your Trampler with additional armor plating and equip it with powerful broadside cannons, enabling you to engage in exhilarating clashes with rival crews. Despite the scarcity of water, the spirit of piracy prevails in this unforgiving desert.
Procedurally Generated Challenges
Each session in SAND offers a unique experience as the desert is procedurally generated, ensuring unpredictable encounters and threats at every turn. However, the islands themselves are meticulously hand-crafted, presenting players with exciting and challenging environments to explore, fight, and strategize in. Whether you choose to go solo or cooperate with your crew, dusty streets await you, offering abandoned monuments, factories, hotels, and other captivating landmarks to scavenge for resources. Remember, in this harsh desert world, greed reigns supreme.
SAND, the upcoming cooperative and competitive sandbox FPS from Hologryph, promises an intense and immersive experience within its steampunk post-apocalyptic setting. Assemble your crew of smugglers and scavengers, and venture into the vast desert aboard your Trampler, battling other teams in search of glory and loot. With its highly customizable walking ships, hand-crafted islands, and procedurally generated challenges, SAND offers a unique gameplay experience that will keep players engaged and entertained for hours on end.
SAND is set to release on PC and next-gen consoles, offering players a chance to explore this unforgiving world of survival and piracy. Stay tuned for further updates and prepare yourself for the ultimate steampunk adventure in the heart of the desert.
