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!
Thank you Chris! Glad you find it exciting ❤️
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!
Thank you ☺️
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!

This has been requested quite a few times, so it’s definitely something I’ll look into!
Yes, certainly a less dangerous environment to build in in Island Architect!
Thank you ☺️
Release date isn’t set. Working towards demo first!
Thank you ☺️
Yes, a lot of this started from enjoying Townscaper, but wanting more control and more variation!
Building some houses as time passes, in my upcoming relaxing building game 🌳🏡Island Architect🏡🌳

Thank you!
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 🇪🇺
Thank you!
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
I'm making a cozy and relaxing town builder called 🌳🏡Island Architect 🏡🌳!
- Coastal European vibe
- Sculpt terrain, including caves & sea arches
- Build wonky, curved buildings
Wishlist now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3079100/...
First version is targeting PC. Will look into other platforms after if things go well.
Yes, that’s exactly it!
Yes! Among various color related projects also though!
I agree, and thanks for making my project the example of this ☺️
Thank you! ☺️
Thank you! Sounds like a perfect use ☺️
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you! ☺️☺️☺️
Initially targeting PC, will look into other platform after launch if things go well!
Thank you! Yes that’s certainly the vibe I am going for!
