If you've just wandered in from the Next Fest, a quick hello first — What is this game?Idyll Isle is a cozy idle island sim that lives on your taskbar. It runs in a slim, 1920×256 transparent window docked above your taskbar — it never steals your screen or rushes you. Five islanders — a Farmer, Woodcutter, Fisherman, Miner, and Chef — farm, fish, mine, cook, and build on their own. You just make the calls: what to plant, what to craft, where to build. Everything else runs itself. Glance down between emails and a meal is ready; come back from a meeting and the Storage is a little fuller. The story unfolds in the Veil Archipelago, after the Veil Tide swept the old sea routes away. The mainland is no longer a place to live; the few who made it through washed ashore on what was once the granary and seed vault of these waters. The island under your feet still holds a little green. Stay and tend the last patch still breathing here — and when the time comes, set sail to find the next shore where drifters like you can make a home. And to the folks who've been with us since the demo launch — thanks for waiting. We've been quiet for nearly a month because we had our heads down: polishing the demo you're playing, and piecing together the fuller picture of the full game. Next Fest feels like the right moment to catch you up. First, to be upfront: the demo is a trimmed-down sliceWhat you're playing now is a small piece we deliberately cut out — enough to feel the island's rhythm, but far from the whole thing. Here's what's already in place for the full release, but not fully opened up in the demo yet. The sea is where this island's "far away" really beginsExpeditions & the Tavern: Recruit Warriors, Archers, and Mages at the Tavern, form an expedition party, and follow the lighthouse's routes out across the Near, Mid, Far, and Extreme Seas. Every voyage is a gamble — weigh your party's strength, then decide how deep you dare to go. Weapon forging: Expeditions need proper gear. W...
Hey everyone, A new update is live with clearer XP displays, a few Menagerie improvements, and some small UI fixes. XP Display Improvements XP bonus badge added to skill pages - Every skill page now shows an XP bonus badge in the header, just like the Combat page. Hover it to see a full breakdown of active XP bonuses for that skill, including Housing, Rebirth, equipped relics, Collectibles, Meditation, active potions, and Estate room bonuses. Task cards now show your actual earned XP - Task cards now include active bonuses from housing, rebirth, relics, meditation, potions, and estate rooms. The number updates in real time as your bonuses change. Combat XP displays now include bonuses - The XP/Kill stat during combat and the XP shown on enemy cards now include your active XP bonuses, so they match what you actually earn. Combat XP badge fixed - The Combat page XP badge now includes equipped relic XP bonuses and Collectible combat XP bonuses. These bonuses were already being applied correctly, but the badge was not showing them. Meditation and Alteration headers updated - The Meditation and Alteration pages now show the XP bonus badge in the header, matching the other skill pages. Meditation Display Fixes Retained focuses now show correctly after rebirth - The Meditation page now correctly shows any focus you kept through rebirth. Retained focuses display their active tier and buff value, along with a note that you need to level Meditation again before retraining them. Speed tooltip cleanup - The speed tooltip on task cards no longer lists meditation XP bonuses. XP bonuses now stay in the XP badge, while speed bonuses stay in the speed tooltip. Menagerie Improvements Menagerie Stash Collect All button - The Menagerie Stash now has a Collect All button, letting you grab everything in one click instead of collecting items one at a time. New stash hint added - A small "Click items to collect." hint has been added next to the stash header so the stash is easier to unders...
A full day done and I've found some things to fix and real small things to add. Make the lab and accelerator always present when not unlocked but locked, including a tracker for how to unlock it. So people can know what the game has before it just appearing when unlocked. Make the assistant status into an actual model where it will beam to what it collects to be more visually appealing. Changed the offline gained eV begin at 50% and then allows for upgrading after the lab is unlocked to get it to a 100%. After some thinking I did this so it isn't so overpowered at the start. Fixed a problem where the isotope collection was collecting more than it should and is displayed to do. Changed setting icons into neon lights Cut all molecules passive eV gain by 50%. They are very powerful, especially with offline gain.

Prayer A brand new skill joins the lineup. Bury the bones your enemies drop to train Prayer, anything from common bones up to dragon and abyssal bones, with the rarer drops worth far more experience. Unlock altars as you climb, a gold sink that multiplies the experience every bone gives you. There are three altars to work toward, each a steeper investment than the last. In combat your prayers draw from a points pool that drains as you fight and refills with every enemy you put down. Twenty-two prayers fill the book. Raise an overhead ward to block an incoming melee, ranged, or magic blow outright, or call on the offensive and defensive prayers to sharpen your accuracy, hit harder, and soak more damage, all the way up to a handful of elite prayers that roll several boosts into one. Select an enemy and the book tells you exactly which ward stops its attack style.Thieving The second new skill introduced with this update. Pick a mark, anything from wandering townsfolk and hooded zealots to market stalls, armoured guards, and a locked rogues' chest, and help yourself to whatever they are carrying. Stalls give up the goods they sell, logs and ores and fish and gems, while people carry coin, food you can eat mid-fight, and on the richest marks the occasional piece of rare gear. Every mark has its own pockets to pick, and stalls visibly empty out as you work them over. A botched steal freezes you on the spot for a beat. Your odds climb as your Thieving level outgrows a mark, which means the best play is always the richest target you can rob cleanly. Chain clean lifts together to run up a streak that pads your coin. Seventeen marks wait in all. And three new foods round it out: bread, cake, and a richer chocolate cake, lifted straight off a baker's counter with no cooking required.A reanimated companion Your character got a brand new idle animation, redrawn from scratch with more than twice the frames and a smoother, livelier resting pose. It is the thing you glance at most,...
This is a small cleanup patch for Skilling Relics that were previously able to behave like socketable equipment. Skilling Relic Cleanup Socketed gems are safely removed from relics - If a gem was socketed into a Skilling Relic, it will be returned to your inventory on load. If your inventory is full, it will go to overflow. Affected relics are restored - Skilling Relics that were treated like equipment are returned to inventory and restored to their normal collectable state. No relics are lost - This cleanup happens automatically the next time you load the game. No action is required. Inventory Filter Fix Skilling Relics will now appear under the Misc inventory filter. Previously, relics were scattered throughout the inventory filters. Feedback Welcome If you run into any issues after this update, or if a relic still is not behaving correctly, let me know: Discord - more closely monitored and the fastest way to reach the developer Steam Discussions Thanks for your patience with this one. -- Visseron Games

Thank you for the reports! This update fixes a couple of dispatch issues.Bug FixesFixed losing to the boss even when you exceed the recommended CP The recommended CP didn't account for the boss on the deepest floor — it was based only on the regular enemies, so the much stronger boss actually required more CP than shown. The recommended CP now reflects the boss when you aim for the boss floor, and the dungeon list's recommended CP is now based on a full clear. It should be a far more reliable guide.Fixed being able to change equipment while on dispatch Changing a dispatched adventurer's gear had no effect on the ongoing run ("I changed it but nothing happened"). Equipment is now locked while on dispatch, with a message ("Can't change equipment while on dispatch — change it after they return").Please keep the feedback coming — thank you for playing!
