Demo Update #2

It turns out that a \lot\ more folks are playing on Steam Deck than I would have expected! I'm still working on proper Steam Deck support which I expect to have done by the end of this weekend (sorry, new Next Fest Steam Deck players!), but in the meantime I've updated the \Isles & Tiles\ demo to use a custom, nicer UI scale on the Steam Deck's relatively small native screen resolution.

There's no other new content in this update, sadly. I have a ton more story beats and decisions coming in the next update, but I'm not quite happy with some of 'em so you'll have to wait until next week to check those out.

Demo Update 1.1

Happy Isles & Demos! Based on some early feedback, I've re-balanced the difficulty levels that are available in the demo and made a few other UI tweaks here and there that should make things a little nicer to play. The game will now be slightly harder on easy and normal, and, well, much harder on harder difficulties. Which is why they're hard! So that makes sense. I've also translated both the pre-release main game and the demo into four new languages:

German
French
Japanese
Chinese

Keep that feedback coming (Bluesky or Steam Discussions is best!) and let's work out all the Bugs & Tiles we can, together. And if you'd be willing to help me translate the game into a language that's not on the list above let me know; I'm looking to get the game into more European languages in particular, and I need your help!

Isles & Tiles at WX Games Weekend in Yorkshire

We took Isles & Tiles out for its first public showing this past weekend, at Game Republic's WX Games Weekend in Wakefield.
Apparently there were around 6000 people who visited over a two-day event, and we were delighted to have hundreds of folks play through the first scenario of Isles & Tiles. Heard lots of great feedback, made a bunch of new friends, and we certainly had a blast watching folks play the game and get into the nitty-gritty of buildings decks and designing islands!

So instead we brought along our harpist -- one half of the harp/clarinet duo that's recorded every track -- and let people try out the game with a live-accompanied soundtrack.
You can get a sneak peek at that soundtrack by checking out the first teaser trailer, which shows off just the harp part of one track. We're keeping the clarinet under wraps until the demo comes out, but trust us -- it's gonna be gold. [previewyoutube=IclJ7qOLGDg;full][/previewyoutube]

Raise an island from the sea and build your colony upon it! Isles & Tiles is a turn-based resource management game where you balance expanding your island, growing your colony, and gathering resources against the needs of your settlers and the draw of your cards.

Start with a core deck and unlock new cards, events, trophies, and modifiers as you explore new paths to victory!

Raise an Island – Use the cards you draw to shape the contours of your coastline and build your colony. No two islands will ever be the same, and you can always adjust the terrain to suit your needs.
Manage Your Resources – Start with a small stockpile of basic resources, and build what you require. Need more wood? Raise a forest and place a timberyard, or turn a tile into a mountain and mine it for stone.
Balance Your Needs – The beginning of every colony is easy, but once time starts to pass you'll have to weigh in on the needs and desires of your settlers. What will you choose?

Unlock Legendary Cards – Start with a core deck and unlock over a hundred new and more powerful cards as you play. Collect victory points to unlock new cards or convert your favourite cards into legendary foil versions!
Many Strategies, Many Goals – Every run is different! As you play you'll discover new cards, which can change the way you play and open up new mechanics, resources, or whole new paths to victory. Focus on your population, or ignore the colony and just build the best island you can - it's up to you!

Acquire Powerful Artefacts – Over time you'll find a wide array of powerful artefacts that can modify the game rules and open up new strategies or options. No two runs will be alike!
Make Meaningful Decisions – Occasionally, your islanders will petition you with important choices that can impact how you play. Will you hoard magical artefacts for yourself, or give them back to the people? The choice is yours.

Isles & Tiles is inspired by classic tile-placement board games like Dorfromantik, Carcassonne, and Settlers of Catan. Build a perfect colony, unlock new cards, tweak your deck, and make meaningful decisions -- all while accompanied by an original Breton folk-inspired soundtrack!
