Now that's a legendary list of titles! Cortex Command is definitely a huge inspiration. Thank you!

Two huge milestones:

✅ Sandustry Demo hit 1000+ reviews @ 97% positive
✅ Fluxloader 2.0, the new & improved community-made modloader, is live

100+ mods & maps, a thriving ecosystem... and the game's not even out yet. Just a demo. 🤯

Big thanks to the modders & community! ❤️

Thank you! ❤️ There's a demo out but it's pretty old now so it lacks a lot of features.

Thank you so much! ❤️ That kind of enthusiasm is the best motivation. Working hard toward the Early Access release but I'm honestly pretty unorganized and bad at making estimates, so no release date just yet.

look what I need just to mimic a fraction of the modders' power (check out the Portals mod if you want a much more powerful version of this already!)

Impressive detective work! 😎

We’re excited to announce that we're publishing Sandustry by Lantto Games (@lantto.bsky.social)!

It’s a factory builder where every pixel is a resource — mined, processed, and put to work in sprawling, fully destructible worlds.
