1 Million Units, Full Crossplay & Roadmap

[p]Welcome to Coral Island’s September 2025 development update!
Join our Discord for more information![/p][p][/p][h2]1 Million+ Units On Steam![/h2][p][/p][p]THANK YOU, FARMERS! When we first set out as a small Indonesian studio, our dream was simple: to create the kind of farming game we always wanted to play. Today, that dream has grown far beyond what we ever imagined, thanks to all of you.
[/p][p][/p][p]Now, seeing so many of you share in that joy and passion leaves us deeply touched and grateful. Your support, joy, and community mean the world to us. Thank you! [/p][p][/p][p]Free wallpapers! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]
Full Crossplay[/h2][p][/p][p]You read that right! Full crossplay across all platforms will be included in an upcoming hotfix, scheduled for release on September 25 2025 @ 9 AM PST.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Who can play with whom?[/p][p]A: Players on Steam, Windows, Xbox, and PlayStation will all be able to connect with each other.[/p][p][/p][h2]Updated Roadmap[/h2][p][/p][p]The upcoming 1.3 update is shaping up to be huge! To keep content flowing at a steady pace, we’ve decided to split the update into two parts:[/p]

[p]The 1.2b Update will come first[/p]
[p]Followed by the 1.3 update[/p]

[p]This way, you’ll get new content sooner while we continue polishing the bigger features.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]FAQ[/h2][p][/p][p]Q: Why is the 1.3 update being split into two parts?[/p][p]A: We’re a bit behind on some parts, and we don’t want you to wait too long for an update. One of those parts is the portraits of the kids growing up. Believe it or not, for this update alone, there are over 700 unique portraits that need to be hand-drawn by a single artist (never AI. Thank you, David! 🙌). [/p][p][/p][p]Since Coral Island uses 2D portraits instead of 3D models, it’s important that all portraits are drawn by the same person to ensure harmony in style, coloring, and detail. Even small differences between artists would stand out, so every single portrait has to come from one hand. Fun fact: in the current build (before the kids grow up update), there are already over 2,000 portraits in the game—each expression is its own unique painting![/p][p][/p][p]Q: Why is the hotfix taking so long?[/p][p]A: Yeah, totally get the frustration—it is taking a bit! Here’s what’s going on behind the scenes:[/p]

[p]Today, we'll release the cross-platform support along with several bug fixes.[/p]
[p]There’s another hotfix already in the queue, but it’s going through external QA, which usually takes about 1–2 weeks.[/p]
[p]After QA, it goes to console certification (another ~1 week), and then it’s ready to launch.[/p]

[p]The patch we released today was fast-tracked to prioritize cross-platform support. We kept the scope smaller so it could be tested faster, and it worked! That’s why it’s out earlier than the rest of the 1.2 bug fixes. [/p][p][/p][h2]What's Next[/h2][p][/p][p]Next month, we'll take a look at what you can expect from the 1.2b update![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for reading,[/p][p]Stairway Team[/p][p][/p]
