The updated roadmap
Today we are presenting the updated roadmap for Spirit of the Island. We've had a big and long look at all of your feedback about the game and after some discussions decided on a most realistic roadmap for the present year. Please do note, that this is only about new features and improvements, regular bug fixes will continue as usual.
Now, to outline some things:
- In September we plan to vastly improve things that everyone is asking for, mainly inventory and the map of the game. We'll bring drag and drop, better handling with the controller, map will have new visuals and pointers and so on. It should be a very good. improvement.
- For October, we'll be working on Greenhouse - a brand new building that will act like a house for your plants at Winter. It will have upgrades, several floors and lots of space to plant and decorate. Since it will be movable, we'll also add that option to your house.
- November might look kinda "meh", but trust us, it's a big and complex system and requires a lot of work. We'd like to even have multiplayer marriages between players as well and this will need a lot of testing and development time.
- And finally, December. We plan to add Pets and Banking this month, which will add another level of depth to the game.
We hope the new updates will bring you joy and fun. Please continue to leave reviews and contact us on Steam and the Discord server with your suggestions and feedback.
Thank you for your support, and we wish you an enjoyable time at our Tropical Paradise!

UPDATE 1.1 IS COMING SOON
Today we would like to talk about the release and our future plans.
We held a Kickstarter campaign with a certain road map and a set content plan. We’ve had a promise to our backers to release everything originally planned this Summer and we did exactly so, with all originally planned content.
So why did we have early access in the first place? It was done to have an opportunity to work on the game with our community. A lot of changes and fixes we made during the early access are based on your help and feedback. And we are really grateful for that.
What about QoL and future updates? We are going to release a new patch tomorrow with new improvements and fixes. You can find a list of changes below. Also we are going to add inventory UI and few more QoL improvements next week. And we want to add drag & drop as soon as possible.
We will present an updated roadmap next week. We already have tons of ideas, but we're looking closely at your feedback now and we are ready to add new QoL features there. Please treat 1.0 as a feature complete milestone. It’s the game with everything originally planned plus more from your feedback. And we won’t stop here.
The work on the project WILL NOT stop anytime soon! Moreover, we will continue to support the game in 2023. We are working on porting the game to consoles already and we will start porting the game to mobile next year. We have promised and we'll have full cross-platform co-op between ALL platforms, including mobile. Isn’t it fun?
Thank you so much for the feedback. We understand your concerns and are already working on improvements and fixes.
