Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a free roguelike called Sands, inspired by the world of Dune.
It’s a solo project, non-commercial fan fiction, and I’m building it on Arch Linux with native builds for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
The idea is to make the desert itself feel like a weapon you can wield. In the latest version you can:
- 🌪️ Summon Coriolis Storms – sandstorms that damage enemies
- ☠️ Fire Spice Shots – projectiles that create expanding poison clouds
- ⚔️ Build Mastery stacks – unleash devastating melee strikes
- 💣 Lay minefields – Saboteur traps for ambush and area control
🎥 Here’s a short video of the Desert Scout in action:

I’d love to hear feedback from anyone who tries it out — especially from Mac and Linux players since those builds are new.
Thanks for checking it out!
