After a delay in 2025 and two delays this year (plus two more short delays this morning) mech fortress-builder Sand has finally launched

Sand: Raiders of Sophie is a PvPvE extraction shooter set in an alien desert where players build and pilot mechanical bases while battling rivals and their own creations. The game's early access launch was initially scheduled for April 2025 but was postponed to March 2026, then to June 10, and finally delayed to June 22, reverting to an early access model. On the launch day, technical issues caused a delay of "an hour or two" before the game was released on Steam after a countdown. The game is currently available at a 21% discount for two weeks.

Google shares updated timeline for rolling out Android developer verification

Google, Honor, OPlus, Samsung, Transsion, vivo, and Xiaomi are key players in enhancing app distribution platforms. Google is introducing new APIs to simplify the registration process for developers, including the Android Developer ID Status API and the Android Developer Console API. This month, Google will implement a new system service (com.google.android.verifier) on Android 8 or later devices to restrict the installation of unverified applications, although it will remain inactive until verification is launched in specific regions. In July, new developer APIs will roll out, and testing for "limited distribution" accounts will begin, allowing hobbyists to share apps without fees or ID verification on up to 20 devices. By August, an advanced app verification flow will be globally accessible, allowing users to bypass verification through a complex process. In September, Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand will start verifying app installation status, with plans for expanded developer verification by 2027.

Thick as Thieves is making changes, but not the one I think matters most

OtherSide Entertainment, the developers of Thick as Thieves, expressed satisfaction with player engagement but acknowledged room for improvement. A second update is scheduled for release mid-next week, which will include features like key rebinding. However, the option to adjust or remove mission timers is still absent, causing concern among players. The game features solo or cooperative missions with time constraints of 30 to 45 minutes, and an eight-minute countdown begins after completing any objective. Failing to reach the exit before time runs out results in mission failure. The developers have made the mission timer visible to enhance transparency, but concerns remain about the rigidity of the game's design regarding the timer and item retrieval.
