Dusty Dunes Tycoon
SteamJump into the world of Dusty Dunes Tycoon!

A VR Dropper-Style Gemstone Tycoon game where you unlock and upgrade different droppers to maximize gem productivity and unlock different locations you can explore. The player is stationed within a Minecart equipped with a UI that allows interaction with and travel across the world that surrounds you. You're able to boost dropper production by upgrading different dropper components, aiding by manually clicking with the dropper, or by using esoteric scrolls you find to buff certain droppers or by applying other effects.

Each location has something unique to offer, you could find a new Dropper or a new Activity. Some locations will have activities where the player can grab a tool and engage in prospecting behavior that'll provide you with useful items. Yearning for the mines? Head to Mystic Mines, grab a Pickaxe, to start mining rocks to see what you collect! Each rock provides you with rock fragments and possibly another beneficial reward within.

Geodes piling up? Wish there were more Gemstones/Tool variants you could equip? Head over to Thalassic Tumbler and crack open some geodes to polish the skineral within. Once finished tumbling, you're able to analyze the skineral and see what you've discovered! Each dropper has 4 unique skins to unlock that change the associated gemstone entirely, also each tool has 9 unique skins that allow you to chance the appearance of your minecart, your pickaxe, and more! Express yourself by customizing your experience however attracts you!

One of the uses of Rock Fragments is using them to construct blueprints you find throughout your experience. Rebuild fallen structures and interact with select ones to customize them. For example you can find blueprints that hold plants in different areas, unlocking one will allow you to start collecting Seed Packets! Open each for a spin on the roulette wheel to see what plant you discover then equip it to a pot to be planted.

When you feel the loneliness getting to you, you'll find an unexpected connection within the darkness. Two souls brought together, one fallen from heaven the other clawing out from Plato's Cavern. Together you'll shine light of truth onto the unknown and make atonements as you piece together the past in hope of a shining peaceful future together.
