🏝️Join Our Playtest - Help Shape the Future of Paradise Beach Simulator! 🏝️

Hello everyone !! 

It’s already mid-September! Time flies! I hope you’ve enjoyed your holidays or maybe will soon. If not, don’t worry, we have a new version of your personal paradise, huhu. 

First, I really want to thank everyone on the Discord and here for following us and giving us invaluable feedbacks. Seeing you play and break our game is a real pleasure.

And now… BIG NEWS: The playtest on STEAM is available:

So, the 0.0.3-alpha is up on Steam and itch.io! Here’s the release note for this version, which comes with fewer bugs, especially regarding save functionality and gameplay improvements. We can’t wait to hear your feedback! We’ve prepared playtesting on Steam, primarily for one reason: to gather more feedback and reach more players. We will continue to share versions and devlogs on itch.io as well. 

(The version has been updated also here on itch.io ;) )

• A help window is available to explain activity (in license buy tab)
• The activity item now has an orange background in the shop.

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Current clients of the resort are not saved
• Skip the tuto, then save before opening first mail, then load the save, then open first mail: the mail notification does not disappear
