Important Information About Save Games

Attention: Older save files are not compatible with Version 1.0.0. For those who wish to stick with their previous save files, we’ve made Steam Beta versions of earlier releases (v0.9.6 to v0.9.2) available under: Steam > Summer Islands > Properties > Betas > Select Beta. ⚡🏖️

Additional Features

From the revamped terraforming interface to color-coded building placement hints – there are plenty of improvements. The minimap now includes handy shortcuts, and everything has been polished for the best gaming experience possible.

Looking Ahead

No code is perfect, and bugs may still sneak in – rest assured, we’ll address your feedback and roll out fixes in the coming weeks.

Another highlight:

The Mac version is almost ready! Just a little more patience, and soon Mac players will be able to join in the fun.

We at the Summer Islands Team want to sincerely thank you for being part of this journey. Without your feedback, support, and the amazing community, Summer Islands wouldn’t have been possible. Over 5 years of development, countless ups and downs, and so many improvements – we’re here today because of you!
