Upgrading the Island Map! Unity Indie Game Devlog

Try out Core: http://bit.ly/CorexBWDev

In this Unity indie game devlog I'll be revisiting and upgrading the game's Island Map. This is where the player will manage their real estate, buying land to build on. I've improved the UX, added a screenshot camera for islands, and begun work on a new save system for Lumbermill!

⮞ Description ⮜

I first implemented the island map in July 2020. I only built the bare minimum features required though to get it up and running, leaving many of the key features for later in development. In this unity indie game devlog, I'll begin work on some of those features, including a screen to display information about islands, allowing different players to own islands, and also improving the pixel art sprites for the map.
