We are very excited to be a part of World Oceans Day! We are joining forces to stand up for the ocean and to protect the whales and dolphins who call it home.

If you want to participate, from 6pm BST on Thursday 8th June until Thursday 15th June, you can grab the Spirit of the Island and Biped bundle with a 60% discount and support this conservation work at the same time – we will be donating a percentage of net developer profit directly to WDC’s conservation projects.

Let’s save the oceans together!

Hello!

We've prepared an urgent hotfix for savefiles.

- Added a Toggle option on your save screen. Now you can switch between DLC and non DLC saves on the go.



- Fixed a rare error where some saves could be replaced by new save files if profiles got corrupted while loading;
- Fixed the mushrooms spawning in the wrong place, but this fix only works on brand new saves. So we added the option to craft and buy mushrooms!

Hello, adventurers!

We have an exciting surprise for everyone. Our first DLC - Beach Resort - is now available for download for FREE! You've read that right: we've decided to make our first content DLC free of charge for all players.



So, what's inside? A lot! Prepare to expand your creative horizons.

Spirit of The Island: Beach Resort DLC will give you an option to pick a brand new starting location: Beach Resort. Almost all of the new Island's area can be used for building (even the beaches!) - just imagine what kind of a resort you can create there! Combine it with the new increased tourist limits and the luxurious dream will finally become a reality. We can't wait to see your creations, so please share some screeshots later!

Very important: Beach Resort is only available when you start a brand new save game, due to some technical limitations. But isn't it nice to have a fresh start once in a while?

Last, but not least - the patchnotes! They aren't super big, since the biggest change is the new DLC, but we do have some fixes as well!

- Added a brand new starting Island!
- Staff houses can't be rotated now;
- Improved player interaction with aquatic traps;
