Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Summer Islands Airlines! 🏝️✈️

We are on a direct flight to your ultimate dream vacation, and arrival is scheduled for January 25, 25. Please fasten your seat belts, relax, and enjoy the anticipation – your journey into the world of tropical economic simulation will begin soon! 🌞

Our crew is working hard to make your stay on Summer Islands as unforgettable as possible. From luxurious hotel management to daring investments in beach bars – we guarantee you turbulence-free business and plenty of sunshine. 🌴💼

Important safety check before landing:

!!! Savegames from version 1.0.0 are not backwards compatible. That means, as always, you can go to the Steam Properties page and select the previous version 0.9.6 to continue enjoying the last paradise.

Older maps from the Steam Workshop are no longer compatible with version 1.0.0 and have already been declared incompatible. Anyone can update the maps using the map editor if desired.

There was a chance to win a key by streaming on lurkit.gg (from a certain size) and to test the pre-full version from today. Journalists were also contacted and given a test account.
But, ladies and gentlemen, don't forget that Summer Islands is just too small for streamers and journalists.
In the last few days, testing will be carried out and small bugs will be eliminated.

Next on the program
Make sure your management talent is well secured. You'll need it to turn island paradises into hard cash! 💰
Get ready for unexpected surprises like sudden tropical storms. Don't worry, it's all part of the adventure! ⚓⛈️
And don't forget: Summer Islands is all about fun, relaxation and a dash of capitalism. 🏖️😄

There are about 11 days left until arrival! So sit back, order a virtual cocktail 🍹 and count down the days to your first big leap into island adventure. We look forward to welcoming you to Summer Islands soon!

Thank you for choosing us. We wish you a pleasant journey and many profitable beach moments! 🌊✨

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

Have fun

We wish you a relaxing Christmas again this year. We hope you, your family and your friends are all well.

Thank you very much this year for your support and also the nice and interesting conversations at all the game festivals we visited this year.
It was really fun and a real win for Summer Islands and us!!!

It's not long now until the full release of Summer Islands on 25.01.2025

The last few weeks have been a bit hectic, alternating between the relaxed feeling of “Easy Going” and “WE WILL NEVER DO THIS!!!! AAAHHHH”
We were able to implement a lot. All the construction sites and TODOs are currently on the home straight. The biggest construction sites have been completed and the campaign is ready for fine-tuning.

The biggest “nice-to-have” tasks are still the languages and making the whole thing compatible with the Steam deck again after all the changes from the last few weeks.
I don't want to make any promises about the Mac version for the full release yet. It might be coming soon. But “actually” it should be doable :D

Some new buildings have been created that still need to be added. To tease a bit, we're talking about basketball, jeep rental, yoga parks, shopping malls etc.
The “research tree" is rounded off with the new buildings.

As you can already see above, a small parrot has been integrated as a help, which draws your attention to the help menu and the 2-minute video tutorial.
We have literally rounded off the minimap and added helpful buttons.
You can also use the helpful buttons with shortcuts. This also includes the colors around the buildings or the FlateMode.
We have decided to always leave the colored outlines at capacity. In flat mode, you can switch between player color and capacity utilization.

Our full focus is currently on the full release.
But we already have several other projects in the works. The next project is a turn-based strategy game called Streak Of Power.
The Steam page will be online in a few days.
Afterwards/simultaneously there will be a Summer Islands boardgame and we won't run out of ideas ;D

You are the heroes and a happy new year 2025 to each of you.
