Hey all! 

I took a little break from the project as I have been on a holiday for now a week or so with my family. I am now back and will start working on the next update. 

I scoured all the devlogs that I posted and looked at all the ideas and suggestions I had and I will focus on those as much as possible unless of course I discover any bugs or issues. So here are the things that you could potentially expect in the next update:

• More 3D assets- buildings and decorations - expect a sort of Chapel, workshops (blacksmiths, carpenters, weavers) , cattle barn with animals, well, mill, tannery, barracks). A lot more decorations such s trees, thistle plants instead of grass. 
• Introduce a form of roads. 
• Create 4-5 different shapes of islands that players could chose from in sandbox mode pre made islands. Eventually each with their own fauna and animals and things to discover but to start of will just have different shapes.
• Start adding an interactive feature with buildings, NPCs (Islanders and animals) .
• Implement some sort of treasure finding mechanic once the island is big enough. (Perhaps if you click on some parts of the tile of a building or something)
• Weather changes.
• Rework UI to separate the different types of buildings and allow for a much bigger variety. (Could be by category such as housing, industry etc)
• Implement beautifications of different buildings to make them when they populate to not leave so much empty space around them. 

I have also redone the Itch io page for the game and have really improved it. There is new art for the itch io capsule art for the game which looks much more improved. I would also like to research how to improve on the 3D assets and give them that painted look so this is something I will look into. 

I am really pleased with the new art and I want to say thank you to Penny my freelance artist for her incredible work. I storyboarded the idea and she brought it to life beautifully. 

I have also improved a little the pre launch Kickstarter campaign if you wish to it out would be much appreciate and if you would like to follow it to be notified when it launches would also help a lot! 

Thank you very much for your support and for reading these posts. 

See you soon at the next update devlog.
