- Beta Branch now live! - 19 January 2024
Hello Folks! I know some of you are already waiting for the next update to get some ore features into the game, but testing takes quite a lot of time - so to make this process a little bit quicker I decided to introduce a Beta-Branch. What is the Beta-Branch? Whenever I do changes, I will first update them into the Beta-Branch, so however is fine with accepting a bug here and there in exchange to get the next changes earlier can now opt in to use the Beta Branch instead of waiting for the changes going official. This may also be used to "test" different features and give feedback about them without disturbing the main branch - which should just be the latest really stable version. How to access the Beta-Branch? In your library, right click on Exipelago, go to Properties and you should see a "Beta" Tab there, click on it and in the dropdown, select "alpha04". Steam will then download the…
- 2024 Early Access Discount - 14 January 2024
Welcome and happy new year 2024. In an effort to get more eyes on Exipelago, this year is going to start with a huge discount on the current Early Access Version. The main reason for this discount is to attract more players to the game. Plain and Simple. I want you to enjoy the game. I want you to get excited about the concept. If you like the game idea but still prefer to wait, I would recommend to try the free demo version on the steam page or join our discord and talk with other players. Also, if you tell your friends about it, that would be great as well - even wishlisting show's me that there is enough players out there waiting for progress :-) I hope this years discount can bring more players into the community. Also make sure to join the games discord to discuss future changes - I will do several key give-aways as well over the course of the year! Cheers, Peter Read more about a…

- ORE & METALS! - 18 April 2023
So, this update is a big one - hence the delay since the last update, there was just a lot to add to the game in order to have everything working the way I intended it to be. First off: Ores are now added to the game. Once you start a new game, different ores will be distributed along the underground of the map - let's start digging and get them. Don't forget to also find some coal because without coal you cannot make ingots in a smelter. Also now available is not only the metal workshop but also the new jobtype of metal working (make sure to assign it to someone). If you load an existing game, the ores will be created automatically - that should work without any issues, so in case you already have some mines you should see some ore immediatly. In order to make all this work - and the general natuire of the game of being almost fully customizable - the editors also have some new feature…
- v00.02.02 - 31 March 2023
Bugfixes: * SaveFile on crash was not working under some circumstances * There was a bug with loading files when things were currently transported to a stockpile during saving * Some graphical glitches fixed * Save Dialog will no longer pre-select the autosave file Additional Information: https://exipelago.com/threads/v00-02-02.56/
- Forestry! - 26 March 2023
Another Update with added stuff. This time it's a new automation zone related to tree growing - the Forestry Zone! It basically works like a farming zone but for trees - you create the zone and define which trees should be grown in there. It's your own responsibility to create the apropriate soil beforehand - so if you zone a forestry on grass and set it to grow palm trees, nothing will happen, as palm trees need to grow on sand - so make the soil sand first and everything works as it should. The Forestry will also maintain a separation between the trees, this not only is more realistic but also makes sure that every single tree can be reached without being blocked by other trees (villagers cannot be on the same field as a tree). On THe WorldCreation Screen the Creative Mode is now a Toggle Button which hides other parts not related to Creatice Mode like Villager Amount or Tutorial Chec…
- Creative Mode! - 23 March 2023
This update is mostly for those who just wanna build - there is now a Creative Mode! When starting a new game, there is now an option to start the regular Tribe Mode or the Creative Mode. In Creative Mode time is frozen (but you can manually set it with the slider next to the game clock) and everything you do will be done instantly. Building blocks, replacing, chopping, planting and everything will be discovered right away. No Villagers, no hazards, no survival, no challenges - just pure building. This Creative Mode may later be used as map editor, to make scenarios or to just create prefabs - who knows, lots of possibilities! In The Schedule Window tho, you can now set the schedule for everyone by selecting the desired type and just clicking the header. In case you have a lot of villagers that may be helpful in some cases Ownership of Areas / Zones was altered as well. For convenience…
- Material Editor Overhaul + better Sun + reworked Skins! - 21 March 2023
The big part of this Update is actually the Material Editor and all functionality that depends on it - so things are easier now, more things are possible, the Editor now also allows Pasting from the Clipboard (has to be a 64x64 Image, otherwise it will be ingored) and also has an invert button for each Texture Subtype. This basically means, whenever a new Skin is going to be added it's as easy as importing an alpha texture on the right spots, invert it and define the base material and that's it - it's hardly getting any easier than that :) Sun Mechanic The other big change in this update is related to the Sun Handling. So a day is still 12h day and 12h night (as it is expected from a tropical island most likely being located somewhere around the equator of a planet. What changed (more detail in the DevLog Subforum) is how the sun is treated as an entity - its no longer a single point bu…
