The new design of the minimap is also part of this update. The Zoom In/Out buttons or with the left mouse button pressed down you can move the map or with the right mouse button you can jump to the desired position.

September Update 2020 [v0.4.3] with Tutorial and more

Hello together,

after a short summer break we continue with new features.



Today I am happy to present you the Tuto.....uh the Manager Certificate:
It contains approximately all relevant topics.
But you won't be told everything and you have to find out the best strategies by yourself.
With the certificate we want to make it easier for you to enter the hard business world of tourism in Summer Islands.
It should be a kind of tour through all important topics and of course we will write a written exam at the end 😉

Another point is the intro story we created. It will start at the beginning of every match and should bring you better into the game.
Have a look at it and feel free to send us your feedback.
*You can skip it with spacebar

The last bigger point are the achievements.
As you might have noticed, there are a few new ones in Steam.
No these are not implemented yet.
But this won't be that much work anymore and will be done in the next weeks.
