Hi Sandwalkers,
First of all, we apologize for not bringing more news about Sandwalkers, but we certainly have made some progress on the game and as usual, we can’t wait to show you more.
As we’ve reorganized our marketing team, we’ll be able to bring more news about the development of the game through bi-monthly devlogs.
Anyway, let's dive into our fourth devlog!

DEVLOG #4: IN-GAME ITEMS
The caravan's survival outside of shelters is quite challenging.
But fear not, as new items have been introduced to make your journey less fatal!
Consumables
Supplies
No caravan can make headway without something to munch on.
Be sure to gather provisions before traveling through the arid lands of Uwando, where there's little to scavenge. Nothing like biting into a Termite Grub! Or perhaps a mushroom slice, if you prefer…
You can find these items while exploring, in most shops, or even sometimes during combat.
Exploration Consumables
Need to break some rocks? A pickaxe will be your ally.
Want to rehydrate plants? Try the macerate.
And if you want to reveal an area on the map, use a Scouting Flare!
These items can be used on the map, in the inventory, or even during specific encounters and locations.
Combat Consumables
Once equipped, they can be used by any member of the caravan in place of one of their specific skills.
Crystals to strengthen your allies, fruits to target a specific enemy, and even grenades to deal area damage – there's something for everyone!
Orb of Insight
Rumor has it that it can make you stronger… Use it on a character to level them up and gain new stats!
You'll find one in every battle, sometimes even two if you face an elite enemy, as well as in certain events.
Equipment
Accessories
Accessories provide passive bonuses to the wearer, such as additional stats or unique effects.
Since the prologue, 36 new accessories have been added, which you can find at merchants, as combat rewards, or in certain events!
Fetishes
As for fetishes, they grant their wearer a new active ability in combat. Although there are only 8 in the current version, you can find them in the same locations as accessories.
Tradeables
Valuables
Valuable items are essential for bartering and will allow you to acquire resources and equipment indispensable for your survival.
Whether it's breaking rocks, hunting animals, or deciphering clues during special encounters, you'll find plenty of opportunities to acquire these valuable items.
We now have 34 valuable items in game!
Containers
You'll likely come across these on your journey, but be cautious, as they are often locked and require a lockpick to open.
Of course, you can sell them as is, but the price isn't really advantageous. Instead, open them and keep what's inside; it'll surely be worth it.
These chests can be quite bulky, so use your lockpicks wisely.
Quest items
We've also added quest-specific items that are non-disposable and non-sellable. Keep them safe to continue your adventure.
We hope you enjoy these new additions and look forward to discovering them in-game. Thank you for your unwavering support, and stay tuned for exciting new updates and devlogs to come!
