Amber Isle - Update 3 - Out Now!

Hey Folks! We've just released our third patch for Amber Isle! Patch v1.8.17 fixes numerous issues across the game, including soft locks in the shop & quests, issues with quest rewards, and flow issues. It also includes improvements to the UI, camera, and performance, and adds the ability to save customised presets. NOTE: If you have been experiencing softlock issues when interacting with Bosco, Clover or any other Paleofolk in the shop, please clear your Steam cache. To clear your Steam cache from your Steam client, select 'Steam' in the top left of your client menu and then select 'Settings'. In the Settings panel, select the Downloads tab. Then select the 'Clear Download Cache' button at the bottom of this menu. NOTE: If your game is glitching or behaving strangely (particularly with dialogue or the shop), this could be due to a Steam issue with your game files. To verify your files, open Amber Isles properties in Steam, select the Installed Files tab, and click Verify Integrity of Game Files.

Amber Isle - Hotfix Patch v1.0.1 - Out Now!

Hey Folks! Today, we've released our first hotfix patch for Amber Isle, which fixes a number of bugs since the launch of our shop management-sim last week! This patch also introduces automatic save backups to help you restore your save in case of any future softlocks. Our whole team has been overwhelmed with the love and support you've shown for Amber Isle and we're happy to release this patch to address soflocks and critical bugs reported to Player Support over the past four days!

v1.0.1 Patch Notes


  • Fix: Accidental completion of region rating quests when loading a game.
  • Fix: Adi grants the player additional items when crafting for first stocking of the shop.
  • Fix: Quests saving in a broken state or continuing slightly as you return to the menu.
  • Fix: Resources now can't be collected just before talking to Maple to stop the game locking.
  • Fix: Player save file sometimes becoming corrupted when returning to the main menu or quitting the game.
  • Fix: Issues where the game allowed you to enter the meadow or open the shop during the tutorial at an incorrect time causing the player to become trapped during various quests.
  • Fix: Adi disappearing and not sleeping during "Where is Adi?"
  • Fix: Mayor grants the player additional amber during the Ambience tutorial, allowing the player to purchase the required item.
  • Fix: Issues where the Ambience Quest, Shop Ranking UI, and Mortgage Quest could all trigger at once locking the game.
  • Fix: Issue where the shop would lock because a customer wouldn't approach the counter.
  • Add: Save backups are now included in the save folder under a folder called "BACKUP", allowing roll back to an earlier save if needed.

New save files can be overridden by previously deleted save files, causing a soft-lock


Please Note: If you return to main menu, delete your save file, and create a new one in it's slot, your deleted save will override the new one, causing a number of issues. To avoid this issue, after deleting a save, restart the game before creating a new save - this will not cause the issue to appear.

Amber Isle releases 10th October for Steam!

Hey everyone! Today, we're thrilled to announce our release date for Amber Isle... You will be able to jump in to the island soon, as Amber Isle launches on 10th October 2024 on Steam! Amber Isle welcomes players to set up shop in the eponymous Amber Isle, a friendly village fit to bursting with an eclectic mix of prehistoric animals named Paleofolk, who are desperate for players to breathe new life into their community and bring their home back from the brink of fossilisation. Watch our new Release Date Announcement trailer below: [previewyoutube=tMR1d7i5AxU;full][/previewyoutube]

About Amber Isle:


Being the new owner of a failing shop is no mean feat, and once players have created their own Paleo-persona, theyll need to roll up their sleeves and get their claws dirty as they work to maintain the shop. Players will spend their days bartering with stubborn customers, stocking shelves with everything their paleo pals might need, befriending the locals, improving the village, and exploring the surrounding areas for new items to craft, all in an attempt to convince their fellow Paleofolk to return to Amber Isle permanently.

Amber Isle Key Features:


Open Shop: Customise, name, and run your shop your way use the profits to unlock new shop dcor, walls, floors, and more, making the space uniquely yours.
Rebuild the Island: Rebuild, decorate, and unlock new areas to explore on Amber Isle, and with enough improvement, Paleofolk will start to take up residence on the island permanently.
Meet the Neighbours: Amber Isle is home to 48 different Paleofolk to befriend, including Ice Age mammals, Permian amphibians, marine life, invertebrates, and more.
Paleo-you: Express your penchant for the prehistoric and design your very own Paleofolk change your clothes, crests, and colours, to create your perfect paleo-persona.
We hope you are excited for our release on October 10th! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1663040/Amber_Isle/

  • Amber Isle is a shop management/social sim set in a quaint, friendly world of prehistoric animal villagers called Paleofolk!
    Tasked with opening the only shop in a small, sleepy village, you find yourself crafting and selling items to solve unique problems of the unusual clientele. A table big enough for a brontosaurus, a water-proof picnic set for a plesiosaur, or a special toothbrush for a sabre-toothed cat!



    By exploring and upgrading the isle, discovering new recipes and befriending customers, eventually some Paleofolk will want to move in and become neighbours. Make the shop of your dreams, befriend a cast of dinosaur characters and bring the village back to life!

    Restore an old cottage into your very own shop! Customise the layout, decor and stalls to your choosing and get ready to welcome customers! The more welcoming your shop is, the more visitors you’ll see!

    Explore the village to collect resources like stone and wood (or even trade and buy them from the Paleofolk villagers!). When you return home, you can choose a recipe to craft from your ‘Recipe List’. You can unlock new recipes by completing quests, increasing your friendliness with the Paleofolk in your village or mastering old recipes. Then set the items out for sale in your shop!



    After mastering basic crafting, you will unlock the ability to create custom in-game designs for your items! You can create your own series of paintings, book covers, shirt designs and more! These can be sold in your shop and traded with friends- allowing you to create the shop of your dreams (or memes….)!

    By running a successful shop, you can even donate to the village’s expansion and improvement. Create features that meet the needs of different Paleofolk, such as paths, recreational areas and water features. The more accessible the village is, the more Paleofolk will want to move in!

    There’s a diverse cast of prehistoric characters to meet and befriend during your time in Amber Isle. Paleofolk have unique personalities, preferences and habits and come in all shapes, sizes and species! From the bulky brachiosaurus to the mini microraptor, all Paleofolk live happily side by side. And it’s not just dinosaurs- there are ice age mammals, Permian amphibians, marine life, even some invertebrates and more! All with their own shopping needs and special requests...



    By chatting to Paleofolk and completing custom orders, you can befriend them and even hang out at their houses! Each Paleofolk character is unique, with their own dialogue, hobbies and personal goals/aspirations. The village will change and unlock new features depending on which Paleofolk characters you befriend or invite to live there!
