- Beach Resort DLC to be Included in Main Game + Console Update - 15 April 2024
Hello! We included Beach Resort DLC in the main game package and will remove the DLC page from Steam. The reason is simple: the content is free anyway and having it separate just confuses our players. So we decided to just enable it by default for everyone. It's a cosmetic change so don't worry, nothing will happen in your games. Also we are quite pleased to announce that the console update, which will include all new features and both DLCs will be sent to the certification process today. After it's checked by all console platforms, we will release the update and merge crossplay with the new version of the game. Meaning no more launch options and one default version of the game with a full feature set for everyone. As the price of the game is higher on consoles, Adventureland will be included as a free update. We hope to release the update this month, but now the wait process entirely d…
- Update 3.0.4.0 - 3 April 2024
Hi! We have another small bugfix update ready: - We have resolved the large savefile problem - this time completely. There's only one thing: you would need to delete two large txt files in your savegame folder. Sadly, you will lose all of your quest progress - we found no way to avoid this - but all your other progress, including buildings, items, relationships, etc. will remain intact. IMPORTANT: only people that have encountered this issue have to do it! Please do not delete anything if your game works fine! How to delete the files: * Press Windows key + R * Input %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/1M Bits Horde * Find two largest txt files - they are usually close to or well over 200MB in size * Delete them We are very sorry for the inconveniences caused by this. We tried to avoid this, but without the deletion we can't update your savefile system. - We fixed Key of Elements progression;…

- An update 3.0.2.5 is live - 18 February 2024
Dear adventurers, We are happy to present you with an update 3.0.2.5. We were in a hurry to fix the most annoying issues that some of you have: Fixed: - The quest trigger for the Lighthouse quest (if players save the game and quit before entering Lighthouse right and giving items to Tony the quest doesn’t trigger anymore). - Dialogues with the NPCs in the village do not reset after the load anymore. - Family Heart quest dialogue fixed. - Missing names in the dialogues with the Lighthouse, Pirate, and Elisa. - Huge saves were created when finishing the quest for Hawk. - Fixed the fire at the old farm hose. - Issues with the multiplayer when players have a de-sync and were not able to complete the quests together. Improvements: - Players will now get less tired during the day and will have at least 18 hours per day without falling asleep. One but important note for the ones that experienc…
- AN update 3.0.2.3 is ready. - 10 February 2024
Dear adventurers, Some of you have experienced issues with the old save files that were not showing. We have prepared an update that solves this issue and we are happy to present this update. What was fixed: 1) Quests that were not saved after you quit the game and load again. 2) The starting point after you complete the intro quest. Now you will appear near your house instead of the beach house. 3) Dialogs that were resetting. 4) Quest triggers in both the multiplayer and the single player. Hope that these changes will help solve your first problems. The main thing we want to highlight: your old saves didn’t disappear: they are there safe and you didn’t lose any progress. Now you could continue your old game save if you wish to. We will continue working on the QoLs that were marked. See you in the Spirit of the Island.

We are very excited to launch the New Story Update!

- Spirit of the Island: End of Year Summary - 24 December 2023
Hello friends! It’s Christmas and we think it’s a good time to make a summary of what we did in 2023. But first and foremost: Merry Christmas! Spend this lovely festive season in the company of your friends and family, eat nice food, play good games, and enjoy the Holidays! Now, where shall we start? The beginning of the year was all focused on patches and fixes, such as new controller support, vehicle controls and other things that made the whole experience more refined. In February, we conducted a very important player survey (.... !) which helped shape our release strategy for 2023.. Now, not everything went exactly as planned: we had some pushbacks, but all of them were done because we wanted to increase the quality of our releases and provide the best experience possible. We are very grateful for all the feedback that you provided to us: which made Spirit of the Island the game it…
- An Announcement Regarding New Story Update - 5 December 2023
Hey everyone, We have a very important announcement to make today: the New Story Update will be delayed. We don’t have a date yet, but we are hoping to release it this month. The reason for the delay is the complexity of the update. To make sure everything works smoothly, we created a completely new quest system from scratch. The one that we’ve used before didn’t allow us to make big changes to quest generation, rewards, and quest complexity. That’s why a decision to make a totally new system was made. We were positive that it would be ready in November, but testing showed us that there are still quite a few things to polish before we can release it to you, our players. We are going to launch a public test update as soon as we have a build. You will be able to try the new update before release and help us hunt bugs in public testing because we can’t catch everything with our internal QA…
