May update

May 30

To be honest, in the past few weeks our focus was mainly on marketing. It requires much more work than we initially thought it would. We were preparing content for social media and discussing different approaches on how to promote our game. We've started posting on Bluesky and plan to expand to Youtube in the next weeks as well.

Regarding the development we were mostly dealing with weather - adding different weather conditions and optimizing the existing ones to make the world more versatile.

We've had clouds before but they are now fine tuned and optimized.

We've also added rain to some mysterious areas that simply require that kind of weather for the proper vibe.

Enjoy the month of June!

April update

May 3

Hi all!

In beginning of April we've set up the Steam page so in the past month quite some time was dedicated
to fine tuning the content and letting people on social media know we exist (screaming into the void much? :D).
Regarding the development there are two things we would like to share with you.

UI functionality

UI is a big area that we have not worked on at all until just a few weeks ago. At this point we have a very ugly but almost fully functional UI consisting of the menu, main menu and the inventory. As we have no previous experience with it the first milestone was to define the required components and get them to function the way they are supposed to. At least to some extent. The next step is to design the user interface and fine tune the user experience.

Visual appearance of the game

For this one we are really happy ːsteamhappyː. We knew it had to be done for a while but only got around to doing it in the past few weeks.
The game felt a bit cold, empty and flat. The biggest step was to add variety to the terrain textures. All grass surfaces are now covered with 3 different textures that are applied according to a noise texture. Additionally we've modeled some extra versions of bushes and other plants and added some vegetation and life to the map in general. Some extra geography also helped make the environment feel more diverse.

We think it looks way better now and are happy with the progress. We'll continue with the fine tuning of the visual appearance of the game in the next months.

Enjoy the month of May!

Isle of trees

Hi Steam community!

About two years ago the two of us read the book 'Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow' by Gabrielle Zevin and we thought we should try to make our own game. One of us was very excited about the idea, the other one somewhat daunted. Yet here we are - quite a few afternoons and rainy weekends later - both on board. It's our first video game and although we have backgrounds that come in handy, we learn most of the things as we go. So far it has been fun most of the time and we hope it stays this way. We're w...
