Here's what's new: [list] [*] Sandbox Mode [*] MacOS-Support [*] Linux-Support [*] Undo Feature [*] Save/Load System Fix [/list] [h1]Sandbox Mode[/h1] Introducing [b]Sandbox Mode[/b], a whole new game-mode for ISLANDERS. For this new mode, we've made every building available and removed all placement restrictions so you can go nuts and build whatever you want. We've had tons of fun playtesting this feature and hope you will, too! If you want to make our day, share your creations in the community, we'd love to see what you come up with :) You can access the sandbox mode by pressing the New Game button after finishing at least one highscore match.

All of this is a bit new to us, since we're not used to working on Mac or Linux so please let us know if anything doesn't work! [h1]Undo Feature[/h1] You've asked and we've listened: This update introduces the much requested undo button which you can use to undo your last building placement. Just click the undo-arrow that will appear in your building inventory after placing a building. Alternatively, you can just press the "Z" key. Undo becomes unavailable when you lose the game or open a new building pack.

We hope that this will permanently fix all "floating stuff" issues when loading the game. Pray with us and let us know if floating objects still occur. [h1]Endgame Rebalancing[/h1] We rebalanced the score required for new buildings in the late game. Our goal with this is to prevent people from playing indefinitely and crashing the game because too many buildings have to be loaded/rendered at once. This change shouldn't have an effect on most players. [h1]Future Planning[/h1] We're slowly approaching the point where we feel like everything we wanted to see added to the game has been implemented. There's still [i]some[/i] things left but with this update we've crossed most of the big remaining ToDo's off our list. Now we're slowly getting ready to move on to new projects and challenges. This way, we get the chance to start something new, creative and exciting which keeps us motivated and you'll get new games from us. :) [h1]Thank you for being super supportive and encouraging - we are incredibly grateful to have such a positive community. Have fun with the new features and let us know what you think![/h1] Cheers, Friedemann, Paul & Jonas aka GrizzlyGames
