Devlog #3 - Planting and Building


Hey all! Here is a new update to Lumber Islands that shows off some new features.

  • Plans booklet has been overhauled!
    As seen in the video, the plans booklet has been redesigned to be both easier to understand and to know what builds give you what. Each plan has a description of its general purpose (and maybe a silly line at the end), what the build's parts are, and what the build outputs.

  • New global item!
    You may have noticed that there is a new item, the wrench! Wrenches are used in most complex builds instead of having a build use up to four unique items (which was a tad annoying in the original game from my experience). Wrenches can be obtained in many ways, but that will be revealed later!

  • Planting has been overhauled!
    As seen in the video, Tyke can now toss a seed up and have it plant itself when it lands, giving a little more fun to the process! The plant button, alongside other actions, will be given key binds so running and planting will be comfortable.

If there are any suggestions for what to improve about this system or how you think wrenches should be obtained, let me know in the comments!

I thought this would be fun to model, and I've been in a bit of a FNaF mood again.

You can now play Lumber Islands with an Xbox controller! All you have to do is press START with a controller hooked up. I must say, it is the most casual way to play personally!

Here's an old beta of the game showcasing some old graphics and the now scrapped Stocking, acting like the boot from Super Mario Bros. 3. It was scrapped from the game because of its stark resemblance but it was fun to make!

Happy Joltidays! A new quest has entered your quest log. Accept the quest and follow @souptaels to open today's slot on the calendar.

Lumber Islands can now be played completely offline and will not force updates unless you play online! Plus, check out the new river in the background!
