Oil Island Hustle

Hey Fam, I apologize I wasn't able to give new updates since the Steam Next Fest. I got bombarded with lots of real life work lately and I am happy that I got to chance to announce something new today! After reading all of your feedback and reflecting on the game myself, I'm happy to share that a lot of major changes are coming this July! My goal is to have these changes playable in a new demo update during the second or third week of July. What changes am I excited to talk about? Here are the following things to be looking forward to in the next demo update: Oil production has been simplified!Instead of connecting Oil Wells to Refineries to produce oil, you'll now build Oil Drills, which instantly produce oil.The Global Market has been redesigned!The old Global Market system has been replaced with a single Stock Market. Every 30–50 seconds, the resale value of oil fluctuates between Poor and High.Island expansion is here!The old single island is gone! You'll now start on a small island and gradually expand by purchasing new islands. Each new island will feature a random biome, including Forest, Desert, Tundra, or Volcanic.Loans are more interesting!Paying back loans now includes additional time pressure, making financial decisions much more exciting.Digging has been removed.Since Oil Drills no longer require digging, that mechanic has been removed. Your shovel is now used to demolish existing buildings instead.Buildings now only cost money!No more collecting extra resources just to construct buildings.No more warehouse deposits!Anything you collect is now automatically added to your storage.Oil Wells and the old Oil Refinery have been removed. They've been replaced with a brand-new Oil Drill system, and I'll be sharing more information about the new Oil Refinery soon.Workers are getting a complete redesign!I can't reveal exactly how they'll work just yet, but stay tuned! I'll be sharing more details as I finish the new system. Thank you all so much for your support...

Hey Fam! Thank you so much for playing the Demo and giving lots of amazing feedback! We hit an amazing milestone of 300+ Wishlist today and I am so happy that you believed and supported the game! ːsteamhappyː I'm going to share lots of new things later on once I have it ready and polished! It's going to be wild guys! If you have any suggestions or feedback, please feel free to comment it down below or in the discussion. I love reading your experiences and it really helps a lot! Thank you so much again! Cheers, Sheb

Hey Fam, First of all, Thank you so much for playing the demo and giving feedback! I really appreciate it so much! ːsteamhappyː Small Update v.1.1 Demo Thank you for all the feedback on the first day of the demo release. Many of you felt that the gameplay was too pixelated, and I agree. It was a bit too much. Right now, I added a new option in the settings where you can set the strength of the pixel so you can adjust it to your liking! The default value of the pixel strength is set to low also. ːsteamhappyː Thank you so much again and more updates to come! Cheers, Sheb
