changedHello everyone,Here is also the list of all games participating in the Indie Game Fest: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43793299/sale/indiegamefest2024

addedUpcoming update:I'm working hard on the new update. A few new architecture changes have been thrown out and others have been created. With every test cycle you get new insights that lead to changes. But what I can already announce in any case:

addedUpcoming update:You can build roads around the corner: I think it's a feature that will make life a little easier for some people. You no longer need 2 clicks to build roads, no, you can now build around corners with just one click. This simplifies building and saves a lot of time.

changedUpcoming update:Bonus/Malus area You experts probably already know the areas by heart. But there is now a guideline to show you how big the bonus/malus area around the buildings is. Please note that all tourists from your street network visit all buildings if they are in the street network. But the area around the building gives your building a certain bonus or malus. e.g. No tourist wants to go to a hotel right next to an airport or landfill.

addedUpcoming update:As you can see, there are some changes and improvements coming. I am improving and fixing bugs in all corners. My goal is to finish the new update in the next 2-3 weeks.

Upcoming update:

I'm working hard on the new update. A few new architecture changes have been thrown out and others have been created. With every test cycle you get new insights that lead to changes. But what I can already announce in any case:

Buses are coming. Buses are intended as fillers for tourists at airports and ports. This means that as soon as tourists arrive in paradise, buses drive from the airport through the streets and roads. You cannot and should not build bus stops or create bus routes. If you haven't built a bicycle, moped or car rental service, the tourists will already arrive with buses at their vacation destination.

You can build roads around the corner: I think it's a feature that will make life a little easier for some people. You no longer need 2 clicks to build roads, no, you can now build around corners with just one click. This simplifies building and saves a lot of time.

Bonus/Malus area You experts probably already know the areas by heart. But there is now a guideline to show you how big the bonus/malus area around the buildings is. Please note that all tourists from your street network visit all buildings if they are in the street network. But the area around the building gives your building a certain bonus or malus. e.g. No tourist wants to go to a hotel right next to an airport or landfill.

Warnings There are also a few hints if a building has a problem

As you can see, there are some changes and improvements coming. I am improving and fixing bugs in all corners. My goal is to finish the new update in the next 2-3 weeks.

Until then, thank you for your patience.

P.S. If you ❤️ Summer Islands, we would be very 🤩 about a 👍 Review.

Have fun https://trello.com/b/FbC1a19w/devboard-summer-islands
