我很抱歉，纠结了很久还是决定把这个游戏给下架了。原因是现在的我已经对这个它不满意了。

我还是很高兴我能写出一个完整的故事，如果它只是作为一个故事，那我作为“未来的我”回过头来看也不会有什么遗憾，但很可惜，我狂妄自大地以游戏为载体把它发布了出来。这几个月我玩了一点别的游戏，并且看别人玩了不少游戏，再回来看这个游戏，我浑身难受，这做的什么东西啊，，，

所以，我决定把这个游戏下架了，不是因为我之前状态不好时对“我是什么“的思考，而是因为它作为一个游戏，我现在看它实在有点烂（）

我会进行一些后续操作，我想这个游戏应该会在七月消失，很抱歉。

在这个游戏消失之前，我会开放DLC，如果各位还感兴趣的话可以下载看看，然后这个游戏的所有画作（包括废案）我会在我的爱发电里留档（爱发电：天外来鬼），一些绘画过程我会发布在我的b站上（b站：破碎端点），这个游戏所讲述的故事我大概率是不会留档了，并且之后很可能会被我分解，所以可能也是某种意义上的有缘再见。

最后，再次感谢所有给我反馈的朋友！

Hi everyone! Today we've released a new test version of the full release of Packing House! It includes fixes for problems reported from the previous version as well as some overlooked things, like missing outlines on some objects. In order to play it, first you need to own the game. But soon you will have a great occasion to buy it in case you don't have it already. Steam's Spring Sale 2024 is just around the corner and during it the game will be -55% off!




Right-click on the game in your Library, then select Properties. Next, go to the Betas tab and in the input field enter: "PackTestHouse" and click Check Code. After doing so, you should get a blue pop-up that will indicate that you are now eligible to access the testing branch. Select it from the dropdown in the top right corner of the Betas window and wait until Steam finishes updating the game files. That's it! Now you can run the game as normal and start playing! It's best that you start a new game because there might be some issues caused by saves incompatibility.


As this is not a stable version of the game you may encounter some issues and bugs while playing it. You can report them here on Steam in the game's community tab or on our Discord server. If you can record your playthrough or provide repro steps for the problem that would be ideal. Also, please make sure to include your save files and logs from: %USERPROFILE%/Documents/Packing House

Feel free to also leave feedback about the changes that we've made and what could we improve before finally releasing the game in its full glory!

Now aquatic and amphibious creatures slowly lose toxicity build-up while swimming.

All creature species had their damage doubled to make them more dangerous.

Huge creature damage was further increased for Titanoboa, Spinosaurus, Leedsichthys, and Megalodon.

Huge creature damage was reduced for Padillasaurus and Argentinosaurus.

Growth points gained from eating after reaching the elder growth stage are no longer reduced to 5% of their normal amount. The amount gained is no longer reduced. This should result in elder creatures growing again, but slowly.

• Fixed bug on weapons in the arena.
  
• Default graphic settings is now set to medium.

IIslands of War has finally left Early Access! Usually, these announcements will have loads of excitement and updates and news about the future of the game moving forward with cool updates. Sadly, this is not one of those games.

IIslands of War started as a fun project that I worked on as a university student. I seriously enjoyed my time developing this random idea about building floating islands in the sky and then blowing up other floating islands in the sky.

That was over 5 and a half years ago, and the game has been in Steam Early Access for almost exactly 4 years.

However as I scoped more and more of the game, scope creep kicked in and I eventually decided that to move forward, I would need to rewrite basically the entire game to accommodate these new features. Check out some of the cool stuff I was working on:


Yeah thats right, I made an infinite grid so you could build islands of any size.



I wanted to have modules work more like a Tetris-like puzzle to try and optimize for.




Massive spikes and buildings are always cool!!

I also had plans for a story that would take you to different time lines and characters and pilots you could collect to give your island special abilities along the way and lore to go along with the strange world I was building! And monsters like giant floating whales and sky krakens and laser sharks!! And then a new map system with new ways of navigating the world with pirates that might raid you as you fast travelled and then you would have these really awesome high speed combat chases and stuff. And some out of game progression like a tech tree to unlock cooler weapons and items.

Boy did I have plans on plans...

You see, I was a pretty meh programmer back then and so the code was essentially a giant pile of spaghetti. With my final year university project in 2022 and now having a full time job in 2024, continuing development of this massive project has been burdensome and hasn't brought me any joy. So development has stopped, permanently.

As a result, IIslands of War is being taken out of Early Access, with no plans for any future development. I'm really sad about this, because I loved IIoW and poured so much into it, as the wonderful community that grew around the game. To everyone who has supported the game, thank you so much. I truly would have never gotten to this stage without you. While my time with IIoW may be over, I hope that my passion for making games never dies.

IIoW has had a great run. Thanks for playing,
