addedHello everyone,Here are the new features:
changedHello everyone,The biggest change to the game in this update is the unlocking of building plans. So we thought we'd make some real money with Summer Islands and integrate an in-game store with microtransactions, cryptocurrency and awesome NFTs!!! JOKE!!!
addedHello everyone,But the main component in Summer Islands is money, so it's not a bad idea to be able to unlock the buildings with money. This means that the new buildings are no longer unlocked randomly during the course of the game, but can be bought one after the other. A few buildings are already unlocked at the beginning. The others are sorted per category according to purchase price. A store has therefore been integrated in which you can buy building plans and then build the buildings.
changedHello everyone,This changes the gameplay somewhat. However, this gives each player the opportunity to implement their own most efficient construction plan.
fixedHello everyone,In addition, minor details have been added and bugs corrected. Preparations have also been made for the currently planned next update (engine upgrade).
