Summer Islands - Matt
Hello everyone,

in this update I have added the first achievements. There are still some in stock and in the next updates I will add them.



The new design of the minimap is also part of this update. The Zoom In/Out buttons or with the left mouse button pressed down you can move the map or with the right mouse button you can jump to the desired position.



In the new update there are also some minor improvements, e.g. I have adjusted the mouse points for terraforming and the terraforming area function now also works over buildings.






We wish you a lot of fun with the new update.

Hello together,
after a short summer break we continue with new features.



Today I am happy to present you the Tuto.....uh the Manager Certificate:
It contains approximately all relevant topics.
But you won't be told everything and you have to find out the best strategies by yourself.
With the certificate we want to make it easier for you to enter the hard business world of tourism in Summer Islands.
It should be a kind of tour through all important topics and of course we will write a written exam at the end 😉



Another point is the intro story we created. It will start at the beginning of every match and should bring you better into the game.
Have a look at it and feel free to send us your feedback.
*You can skip it with spacebar

The last bigger point are the achievements.
As you might have noticed, there are a few new ones in Steam.
No these are not implemented yet.
But this won't be that much work anymore and will be done in the next weeks.

We wish you a lot of fun with the new update.

Hello everyone,



it's time: We would like to present you the workshop for Summer Islands.
You can create and edit any kind of map in the Map Editor, add many complex events, show official missions to the player and upload them to the Steamworkshop.
So you can create your most creative maps and share them with your friends.





As mentioned before, the Map Editor allows you to display any event as an Official Mission to the players. The event name is shown as mission with percentage and by clicking on the magnifying glass you can see the conditions of the event with details.







Additionally you can now play the maps from the MapEditor with as many BOTS as you like.



In the MapEditor we have added another condition. The time condition. This allows you to start events from a certain time.

FEATURES:
  • MapEditor Maps with BOTS
  • Events as Official Player Missions
  • MapEditor: time condition
  • STEAM WORKSHOP: upload MapEditor Maps

BUG FIXES:
  • Keys 1-9 Bug fix
  • Terraforming in MapEditor disabled dark water
  • Parachutist animation was to fast
  • Disabled the rent edit for the Supply building
  • News Counter doesnt disappers after loading
  • Chart laggy after loading

We wish you a lot of fun with the new update.

Hello everyone,

it is time. We would like to proudly present the Map Editor:



There you can:
  • create a map
  • Customize these
  • Construct a building for Player0

and last but not least



  • Make many settings
  • create your own events:
i.e. conditions when an event should start and which events should occur

We are very happy that the first architecture has been implemented and we can build on it.
The goal is to be able to build campaigns from it and upload them to the Steam Workshop ;)

Small Video for Events

So test the map editor, look forward to the future updates and have FFUUUUUNNNNN with your maps.

Additionally there is something to celebrate: Exactly one year ago, at the beginning of summer
21.06.2019
we released Summer Islands on Steam in Early Access.
We are happy that we have made it so far with your support. We know that there is still a lot to do. But for today we can take a moment of joy and enj oy the beautiful sight of the many updates of the last months.

We would like to thank you very much for your support, your emails and your comments.
We still have some bugs to fix and some features to work on and hope that you will continue to support us in the future.


We wish you a lot of fun with the new update.

We are looking forward to the integration of the Steam Workshop and the Map Editor with many options.
Also the occasion of our one year anniversary in Early Access here on Steam is celebrated with it.
