Action adventure game Dust: An Elysian Tail (http://joystiq.com/game/dust-an-elysian-tail) has chained together 1 million sales, developer Dean Dodrill announced (https://twitter.com/NoogyTweet/status/439845830116134912) on Twitter yesterday. Dust follows thetail tale of an amnesia-ridden warrior and his fluttering sidekick, Fidget, as they piece together his past and present identity. After clearing a million sales however, we don't think Dust's name is going to be forgotten again any time soon.

Dust originally launched on Xbox Live Arcade in August 2012, going on to reachSteam (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/18/dust-an-elysian-tail-scampers-onto-steam-may-24/), GOG and participate in a Humble Bundle (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/02/18/humble-indie-bundle-11-guacamelee-the-swapper-antichamber-and/). It also won (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/06/2009-dream-build-play-winners-announced-dust-takes-top-honor/) Microsoft's $40,000 Dream-Build-Play award in 2009. Just before his sales announcement, Dodrill tweeted (https://twitter.com/NoogyTweet/status/439842226806353920) that he was thinking of taking on "something small" before diving into his next big game, but whether that's a smaller game or something else entirely remains to be seen.
