itch.io

Unfortunately we found a couple of bugs at the last minute, one of which is a hard lock. I'll be working to resolve them tonight, and then I'll upload the new version here!

Hi, I reached out to GoG, and their response was quite frankly, offensive.

I think a lot of people don't realize that GoG is curated by one or more individuals, and not an open platform where developers can simply host their games.

Not only did they decline, but in such a way that I could tell they didn't even look at the game, let alone play it for any meaningful length of time. I believe they pre-judged the game based on a couple of screenshots alone.

The response was so outlandishly off base that I don't think I'll ever submit a game to them again as it's clear they don't really care to investigate beyond surface level preconceived notions. This is understandable once you realize GoG is curated by people with specific tastes who apparently don't want to explore games that don't fit with their personal tastes at first glance. I just wish they were more open about it, because I have been asked hundreds of times to release the game on GoG, and all I can say is "Sorry, they didn't even want to touch my game."

Unfortunately there are many games that GoG users want on the platform that have been rejected in similarly embarrassing fashion: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/games_gogcom_has_turned_down

Sorry for the delay, the update is now live!

 👏 🥳 🤟

I went ahead and set up an autumn discount even though it's late, there's also a bundle if you buy Isles of Sea and Sky + Soundtrack + Triga!

Hey Merwok, thanks for the interest in supporting us! It is much appreciated, however, we aren't offering Steam keys through Itch.

Thanks for the offer! For now I'm very much interested in just diving in on my own and experimenting.

We have plans for the major consoles!

Woohoo!!

Ty ty!!

Cheers!

Thank you, that is lovely to hear!

🙏 🙏 🙏 

Thank you!

Hello! We are absolutely hyped to announce the release of Isles of Sea and Sky on Itch.io!!!



Synopsis: A fantastic, oceanic, open world puzzle adventure. Solve innovative block puzzles while unearthing a mystifying story, gaining new friends that change the puzzle landscape, and unlocking powers that provide more options for how you choose to progress through the enigmatic Isles of Sea and Sky.

Localization: Isles of Sea and Sky has language options for English, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian.

No projection yet unfortunately! But we will definitely be providing updates as we get closer!

At the moment, yes it will only be chapter 1.

Hey thanks for checking in, I'm so happy to hear that you are excited for the full game.

Currently we are in beta testing, which is a very good sign about the release! We haven't announced the release date yet, so keep an eye out for that.

If you are interested, you can keep up with development by signing up for our email list which we send out about once per month: https://mailchi.mp/cc4f226a280e/isles-of-sea-and-sky-mailing-list

Thank you!

In the full game there is something that could be interpreted as a "boss fight" in a way on one of the islands.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for playing. I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I can't wait for you to see the full game!

Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it so much!

Thank you for the tip for other Linux users!

EXCUUUUSSSSEEE MEEEEEEE

Thank you!!

Thanks for playing, and thanks so much for sharing the video! I'll check it out soon!

No, this will remain this portion of the game. It's possible that there could be future updates, which is what happened with v4.0, but it won't give access to the full game.

When the full game releases, it will definitely be released on itch.io as well as Steam! You will be notified and sent your key on Kickstarter when the game launches.

Very cool. I love the freedom of placing pieces. Requiring only a number of spaces to be filled was a great choice!

Yo this is REALLY good! I loved it.

I am so excited that you are anticipating this game that much! Can't wait to share the full game with you!

Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you will try out the full game when it releases!

Thanks for your help! I will be fixing bugs and expanding the game in the future for a full release!

That's correct!

Thank you!

Not winning doesn't mean something is wrong with your game mate, there were lots of great games in this jam. Don't take it personally.

Congrats to the winners and thanks for putting on this game jam, it was a fun one!

Hey glad to hear you enjoyed it!

1. Yes.

2. Yes, as you unlock more friends and items, you will gain access to more and more areas.

3. I am aiming for the end of next year for release. The price will be $15, and my estimate at the moment is the game will feature 10 to 15 hours of gameplay. If I have time I will be able to add more content.

4. At the moment I'm not taking any puzzle ideas, and the only testing we are doing is internally and with alpha testers from the Kickstarter project.

Woot! Thanks so much for making this video and sharing. I love to see when people are excited about the game!!
