Haha, yeah, there are hotkeys, but also a GUI with extremely temporary icons just barely off screen ;)

Thank you! Yes, really trying to make the interaction intuitive! Some cases are still a bit awkward, that need a bit more work, but most of the time it works really nicely!

It’s a quite strange sensation. 300k views is an insane number if you think about it!

At the same time I know I need to reach much further to be in a good position to release a demo, and then the game.

Marketing games is a crazy thing!

Island Architect has gotten over 300k views the last 10 days! Big thanks to everyone who has liked or commented! ☺️

But I need to reach even further. Next I’ll prototype some wilder ideas, starting with a dynamic water system, to allow ponds, aqueducts and waterfalls!

Yes, a lot of this started from enjoying Townscaper, but wanting more control and more variation!

Right now just for walls. Will definitely add some variation and coloring for roofs and windows also

There are many inspirations behind Island Architect, but Kiki’s Delivery Service has a central role. I love the outsider perspective on Europe’s architecture and how styles from across the continent are blended.

I am Swedish, but the aim is to make a Pan-European amalgamation 🇪🇺

Yes, Townscaper is definitely a big inspiration! I wanted to explore some of the same ideas but with much more control and with an editable 3D terrain
