Hey everyone! ːsteamhappyːI'm sorry I've been quiet lately, especially about the demo update I mentioned before, so I wanted to give a proper update on what has been happening with Oil Island Hustle. The demo update became much bigger than I originally planned. What started as a smaller update eventually turned into a much larger rework of the game. I've been improving and adding a lot of systems so the demo can better represent what I want the full game to be. Some of the things I've been working on include: A revamped island and worldA new way to trade money....through stocks??....hmmExpanded oil production and processingMore Physical barrels you can carry and move aroundNew Workers and automationNew buildings and production chainsEnvironmental mechanicsA redesigned building system and UINew NPCs and interactionsMore content that I'll share soon 👀 Because the scope became much larger, the update is taking longer than I originally expected. The past few months have also been pretty overwhelming for me outside of game development, so progress has been slower than I wanted. For now, I also don't want to announce another release date until I'm confident that the update is ready. Development is still active, and I'll start sharing more screenshots, features, and progress updates again. Also some good news I want to share.....Oil Island Hustle has officially signed with a publisher! 🎉 I can't reveal who the publisher is yet, so that will stay a secret for now. We'll make a proper announcement about it soon. Thank you to everyone who has followed the game, wishlisted it, played the demo, left feedback, or continued checking for updates. I really appreciate your patience and support. Oil Island Hustle is still actively being developed, and there's a lot more coming. 🌴🛢️ More updates soon!Sheb
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...

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
