Islands of Insight News

Addendum

• Hotfix name updated to include full version: 1.0.1. to 1.0.12c.
  
• Wording edits to more clearly describe the player experience.

______________
Seekers, we've just released a patch to resolve progression-related issues. For impacted players, you may experience the following:

• Players who encountered progression issues may get a mirabilis or the upgrade tutorial as soon as they load in - possibly even during the loading screen.
  
• Players that were blocked by not completing The Empyrean Journey or not unlocking their wings, will have the wings unlock cutscene play, without their Seeker, as soon as the Enclave is entered, or the game is loaded.
  

Please also note that affected players will need to re-enter any Enclaves that were previously not responding to progress to trigger completion of any objectives that are required for the campaign. This will not occur automatically.

We thank you for your support and cooperation,

We've heard your feedback that the "Online Co-op" tag doesn't accurately reflect our shared world experience, so we have decided to remove it from our Steam page to avoid further confusion. We originally added this tag because it was the closest available tag to describe the ability to interact with and offer guidance to other players in-game, but we do understand it may set an expectation that the game, in its current iteration, doesn’t align with. Thank you for taking the time to voice your feedback, and we welcome you to continue doing so.

s cozy online games continue to prove that not all MMOs need to be RPGs, I'm always excited to dip into a new world. Islands of Insight is the latest, a "shared-world puzzle game" of chill challenges. After a few hours with it though, I don't think the concept gels. Islands of Insight has constructed what already feels like a great gauntlet of puzzles, it just doesn't seem to have needed the online open world, gorgeous though it may be...

Seekers, welcome to Part II of Explore Islands of Insight - a 5-part series where we will explore each biome of the game.

The story of the land is that it was created by the Auroral from the memories of another world - our world (planet Earth). It allowed us to take inspiration from lots of different areas on the planet to create new and unique zones that do not normally exist.

Today we will talk about Lucent Waters, so let's dive in!

The theme of this serene biome is Greco-Roman architecture, combined with an awe-inspiring landscape whose beauty is natural, yet fantastical. Inspired by the Caño Cristales areas of Columbia in South America - with crystal-clear water and colorful seaweeds, it is hard not to stop and admire the beauty around you.



Right behind the plaza, it is impossible not to notice the Haven of Insight, a sublime island with a familiar face on its rocks - a clue for one of the many secrets of the islands. The Haven of Insight can be considered as the lobby or hub area of the game. Right in its middle, you will find the Great Pearl and once you interact with it, this new zone will be awakened and added to your map.



Next to the Great Pearl, you will find The Effigy of the Ancient One which holds Luminous Quests - additional bonus challenges that will award extra Sparks if you complete them.

Speaking of challenges, as you wonder the unknown, besides the puzzles from Verdant Glen, you will encounter new types of puzzles such as Rolling Blocks, and other unawakened puzzles.

You will also find areas in the open world with a specific type of challenge, for example Dance of the Fireflies - a collection of Wandering Echoes - for those looking for delightful surprises.



Lucent Waters features 5 Enclaves as part of the single player campaign - outside the open world: Shattered Oasis, The Trick of The Wanderer, Gather No Moss, Shattered Library, And Ancient Court – all with unique design, challenges, and insights.



Spread your wings and glide above this beautiful location as you embark on the Path of Discovery.

Play a part of our world today in our demo. The full game releases on February 13. Wishlist today. And stay tuned for Part 3 where we will dive into the Autumn Falls biome.
