Ok. This is weird.

I have this undeniable, unquenchable, unstoppable urge to post about how great things are looking in DETOUR right this very moment. In the past day we've not only tackled one of the biggest graphical issues in the entire game -- the artistic style of grass -- we've also brought in this new fancy, delicious effect when a bomb detonates on-screen. If you follow our Twitter, you might've heard us say something about how I plan to make sweet love to the new fireball that has come into play in the past 24 hours.

Forget all of that old stuff you guys saw 6 months ago. All of it.

Screenshots are coming soon, because frankly, we can't really sit on something this gorgeous any longer.

You have my word.

I think more appropriately, we could say this game is being made over a series of 'overnights'. ;)

Zander, along with the others, have easily squeezed out a few 2 AMs (and a lot of blood and sweat, for that matter.)

Speaking of old screenshots; Here you go, folks.

Gallery is back up. The current screenshots are from the middle of last year. Old, outdated, and ugly by comparison. Does the re-appearance of the gallery mean more new things on the way?

Yes. Yes it does.

I wish. It'd make my weekly updates easier, I could announce 7 new Sandswept games every week.

But then you would have to worry about daily updates.

Oooh, good point. I'll tell the development team to slow down progress on DETOUR right away!

Each and every one of you.

Simply ask yourselves this; aren't you tired of games that don't play like the games you want to play? DETOUR is playing like that game you want to play that plays like those games you like playing.

You guys catch on pretty fast. Hey, Tom's writing the weekly update right now. Fun hints this week, with some less than subtle imagery.

On an unrelated note; you guys like customization, right?

"Subtle" doesn't even begin to describe it...
