Hello Community, It’s time to update, and this is what’s going to happen: Whispering Island | Update Log 4.
In this post, we will list the current progress of the game: Whispering Island.
On the 02.12.2024 the prototype will be available on Itch.io to get your feedback. After that, the logs will be available on Itch.io and on this page.
We will also be attending the #GermanGameDevShowcase on 24th November 2024 14:00 (CET) to get lots of feedback.
Please note that the video footage was taken at an early stage and does not yet provide a reasonable user experience for everything.
> Research Table
Complex structures require more knowledge. In order to obtain new crafting recipes, you will need to do researching on resources. This can now be done using the research table. Some resources have different research levels, which unlocks new recipes.
Please note that the ‘analysis’ will become much more interesting.

> New Islands (Dessert, Farming and Mining)
As a result of the new quests created specifically for the prototype, 3 new islands have been added. A desert island where you can harvest sand and sandstone. A farming island where carrots, potatoes and corn can be harvested. Last but not least, the mining island, where iron and copper can be mined.

> Belt Transmitter
Automation on an island is all well and good, but eventually you run out of space. To transport resources from one island to another, the Belt Transmitter was installed; when it receives a counterpart, it transfers resources at equal intervals between two transmitters.

> 8 Quests + 2 Boss Quests for the Prototype
To help you get the most out of Whispering Island, 10 quests have been added to cover most of the features. This will give you the best experience possible at this time.

> #GermanGameDevShowcase
The #GermanGameDevShowcase is a streaming event organised by LetsGameDev. At a Jourey, game submissions will be evaluated and you will receive constructive feedback.
On the 24th of November 2024 at 14:00 (CET) we will submit Whispering Island to get constructive feedback before the prototype.
> Next Steps
The most important thing is that the first demo comes online on Itch.io, so that we can get proper feedback. But before that, we still have a few things on our to-do list to make sure the demo is appealing and playable for players.
Once the first demo is available on Itch.io, detailed change logs will be made available. A lot of things are in flux at the moment, so many ideas get discarded or small things get changed.
We thank you for your patience and we look forward to receiving your suggestions and feedback at Changes@Leon-Schroeder.net.
