Hi there guys. I've got some news for you!

Since Dinkum was released one year ago, I've had a lot of requests for Dinkum Merch and today we've finally got some!

Youtooz has made this adorable Pleep Plush. It's so cute and I couldn't be happier to have it be Dinkum's first official merch.

Pre-orders are open now and are running for a limited time, so make sure you preorder soon if you want one.

In other news, I'm still working hard on the next major update for Dinkum. There are some new features I'm excited to show off very soon and I hope you don't mind waiting a little bit longer until they are ready.

Thank you to everyone who has played my little game in the past year. You've all made my dream of being a game developer a reality!


Speak to you soon,

James

G'day

Today marks the one-year anniversary of Dinkum’s Early Access release. And truth be told, never, ever in my wildest dreams have I thought that my little game could find a place in so many people’s homes and monitor screens. The love that I received from you all, the words of encouragement, the ideas, suggestions, fan art, and little in-jokes is something that I truly appreciate beyond words. And seeing so many of you making your Dinkum Island your own still gives me the same buzz it did one year ago.

Just to give you a quick little update, I am still working hard on the next update. I really hope you’ll like what I’ve got planned. I’ve heard that Fletch is really keen to show some of the upcoming content real soon, so keep an eye out. And in case you missed it, there is a free Mini Anniversary Update that I put up a few weeks ago which you can download right now.

Again, thank you so much for taking a chance with my game. I hope that it brightens your day even a slight bit when you play it and brings a smile to your face.

Chat soon again,

James

G’day mates,

Since Dinkum's release, I’ve been keeping my eye on all of the islands the community has created. I'll tell you what, you all have some amazing island development skills! So, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of them with you too. And I'll tell you what, there is no better day to show you incredible creations than today, ha ha ha!

To start this new community spotlight series we have the incredibly talented ElemetrixBuilds aka Benny. I'll tell you what, their island has inspired me and I hope it inspires you too! So let’s have a closer look at the beautiful ‘Palm Paradiso’ created by Benny.

Palm Paradiso Map.

Benny created this amazing island which is absolutely PACKED with different locations. There’s the Town Center, the Stadium, Flower Fields, a Maze, huge farming fields, a romantic Wedding Venue, restaurants, and much much more. I'll tell you what, it's a tourist's paradise! I can't show you everything in this post, but here are some great snapshots.

Welcome to Palm Paradiso!



The Stadium.

The atmosphere here must be insane during a match. I should buy some tickets.

Maze.

An amazing place to get lost in.

Wombat stall.

I'll tell you what, Benny has a talent for picking names for his furry friends.

Flower fields.

A bloody beautiful spectacle and this smell is divine.

Cargo Liner.

Look how huge this Cargo Liner is. It’s bloody massive!

Varossa Balley Vineyard.

Thank you so much Benny for sharing your piece of paradise with all of us. Benny is an amazing builder and a great member of the Dinkum community. I'll tell you what, it was an absolute pleasure to visit your island.

I'll tell you what, I'm a bit tired and hungry after this trip, so I am going to eat some bush limes. I've been hankering for them all day.

Before I leave, I also wanted to share this incredible fan art by our reddit user M_Snail. Isn’t that beautiful?

G’day,

As you may already have noticed by looking at the Steam front page, the Steam Summer Sale has begun. Even though at this very moment we don’t have summer in Australia (it’s actually a bit chilly down here), it doesn’t mean we can’t join and celebrate this fantastic Steam event! So grab that sunscreen and put on a hat because Dinkum is part of the Steam Summer Sale.

From today, until July 13, 10 am PDT | 7 pm CEST / July 14, 3 am AEST you can get Dinkum with a warm 20% discount!

Join the 14-day-long event, have fun, and be part of our amazing community that we have here.


Have a good one and speak soon,

James
