Planes, Trains and Automobiles Fest - and us!

16 Sep, 2024

Hey everyone,

We hope you’re well and have been enjoying the extended demo since our last update 😊

This is just a really quick post to let you know we are participating in the Planes, Trains and Automobiles fest starting today. We haven’t been able to update the demo (we’ve been hard at work on those exciting things we posted about last time), but we hope the event puts our little passion project in front of more people.

If you have just arrived because of the event, hello we’re Akos & Fabian, and we are so humbled you decided to stop and have a look at Islands and Trains.

We’d love to hear what you think, so please do give the demo a go and let us know either in the Steam forums or social media.

Thanks again for being so supportive.

Hugs to all of you 🧡,
Akos & Fabian

New and improved demo now live!

Hey everyone,

Since we last posted, we’ve been hard at work on the main game and improving the demo you previously played. We listened to all your feedback, came up with some new ideas of our own, and are now ready to show you what we’ve been cooking up :)

Available right now, the demo features:

🗺️ A larger 50x50 square map
📖 Improved tutorial
🏪 New Buildings Inc. a Townhall, bakery, swimming pool and an alpine cabin
🎨 Colour customisation for buildings and trains
🚂 Talking of trains, there are new trains to bring your island to life
🐄 New animals. And yes, you can pet them!

We’d love to hear what you think, so please do give the new version a go and let us know!

But that’s not all. We’ve also been planning out new things we want to add to the game. We’re not going to spoil everything right away, so we’ll be covering these in more detail in upcoming posts but here is a little teaser...

🛣️🌊🌻🚨🚃⚽🎛️

See you if you can guess what they might be.

Thanks again for being so supportive. We really hope you enjoy what we’ve been working on, and we can't wait to share more with you in the future

Dev Update - Mass building & removing implemented

16 Jun, 2024

Greetings !
We know, we know.

We have been doing a terrible job at keeping you in the loop.
We truly want to apologize for that.

----------------------

To make up for it, we want to share with you one of the bigger features we really worked hard on for Islands&Trains in the past months. It, rightfully, has been one of the biggest criticism about the building.

*drumroll*
You no longer have to click individually to place terrain or anything else.

Yes, you read that right !

You can now just make a selection and you will get your piece of terrain instantly.
This will surely make the creation of bigger levels (which, let's be honest, all of you want) much much more joyful and healthier 😆

As you can see, you can use the same idea to remove huge chunks of your creation, all at once.
If you start your selection on the ocean layer, everything gets removed. If you start on your terrain, only these portions get removed.

This can work with whatever asset we see fit.
E.g. if you want to build big forests you can either make the selection or you can hold the mouse button and just paint your trees naturally.

It's 3D Bob Ross 🥰

Thank you for being so supportive and understanding through our journey so far. We really hope you will embrace what we have worked on in the past year and we can't wait to share more with you in the future.

We are doing our best to get this game into the most bestest shape we possibly can.

Hugs to all of you 🧡,
Akos & Fabian
