Whether you’re stocking shelves with fresh produce, helping customers or upgrading your space to make it even better, your shop is at the heart of the island! So, let’s take a closer look at how selling, negotiating, and upgrading all come together to create a satisfying and cozy loop! Your Shop: Where the profit happens🏪 Your shop is apart of one of the core cozy game loops, all your hard-earned produce can either be crafted into something else, or sold for Sugardew - the main currency of the Island. Sugardew can be traded for seeds, upgrades or little boots and benefits like fertilizer or candy to restore stamina. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/592e43ef2ba07c5c3cefedeae70bdb9922baf2c8.gif Stocking: Watch your shelf!📦➡️🛒 Once you place your items on the shelves and open for the day, the island’s forest folk will stop by to shop. They’ll pick out what they want, pay at the till, and sometimes—if they need a little extra convincing—you might have to step in and make the sale. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/e1d8ef770af003cbf63e75fe18a6723de9f44a31.gif Negotiation: The art of the deal💪💰 Some customers won’t make a purchase right away, and that’s where your persuasion skills come in! You can go all-in for a bigger profit (with the risk of scaring them off) or take a gentler approach with a small discount for a more reliable sale. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/1281c39a48020ed9e51162f9dabb3099f8702fc0.gif Upgrades: Upgrades people, upgrades!🏗️💖 Every sale not only earns you Sugardew but also helps restore Harmony to the island. As you progress, you’ll unlock new tools, bigger shop spaces, and even more plants and creatures to tend to! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/86b95aaba0db46440ed4af1fa875a0c8bcd32697.gif Growth: Bigger is better📈🏡 Upgrading your shop comes with plenty of perks. The first expansion allows you to stock more items and introduces handy features like the universal chest. Plus, it makes your shop feel even more inviting! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/e12b333c95753e52fa5049561ccbad6421250943.gif That’s all for now!

Welcome to the first dev diary for Sugardew Island! We will be releasing diaries to keep folks up to date with our plans and announcements! Today, we’re diving into one of the most fundamental aspects of our cozy farming game: The Farming! From tilling the soil to harvesting your crops, every farming mechanic has been carefully designed to ensure a relaxing, pressure-free experience while maintaining the charm and satisfaction of a well-run farm. Tilling: Preparing the Soil Before you can plant your crops, you’ll need to till the soil. Using your trusty hoe, you can prepare patches of land to make them ready for planting. Sugardew Island uses tiles, so it is easy to work with and aesthetically pleasing, so this process is quick and effortless—perfect for casual play sessions. With tool upgrades, you can till multiple tiles at once, making farming even smoother! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/ae390b564d4cb4465135c6b8de1f1ceac5ce5bd9.gif Planting: Sowing the Seeds Once your soil is prepared, it’s time to plant your seeds! You can purchase a variety of seeds from Trader Tomte, each with its own growing time and selling price. You can watch these plants grow overtime, at your own pace, as there’s no deadlines or rush to get them ready! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/c2d6210097d78fff744d99f5e6ea5e91ad1de242.gif Watering: Keeping Your Crops Happy Just like in classic farming games, your crops need water to thrive. Every morning, you’ll grab your watering can and tend to your plants to ensure steady growth. Over time, you can upgrade your watering can to cover more tiles at once, making large-scale farming more convenient. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/6926032497535c93a2b5425dcef22e4c8b54b755.gif Fertilizing: Boosting Your Harvest To get the most out of your crops, you can craft and apply fertilizer. Fertilizer speeds up growth. You can gather ingredients for fertilizer by composting weeds and other natural resources found on the island. This system encourages players to explore and use every resource efficiently, also you can craft from your chest - because we know how important that is!! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/9ebd3b94e3d7d7e357dde535fde73b4800e34b62.gif Harvesting: Reaping the Rewards After days of patient care, it’s time to harvest your crops! Crops can either be sold directly in your farm shop, used in Harmony Tree quests, or even processed into other goods to sell at higher prices. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/5036d2cb53d9aeef17767f3c02091a670606eef2.gif Final Thoughts We designed farming in Sugardew Island to be relaxing and rewarding, ensuring that every step—from tilling to harvesting—feels smooth, cozy, and fulfilling. We’ve got more to show, now that those fundamentals are down, next time we’ll be showing off the economics and shopkeeping!

We've got some important updates to share with you about the progress of our cozy farm shop adventure. Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm—it truly means the world to us! Release Date Postponed to 2025 First and foremost, we have decided to postpone the release of Sugardew Island to early 2025. 💖 But the reason for this is quite exciting! we’ve received a grant of €40,000 from the state of Hessen/Germany! This incredible support allows us to implement a highly requested feature that many of you have been asking for. This means that the game will have more content than planned. Unfortunately we can't tell you what this feature is at the moment as we are in the process of planning our marketing beats and many showcases want exclusive announcements/features, but we promise you that the wait will have an impact on your relationship with the game 🙃. Nintendo Switch Version in the Works We are thrilled to announce that a dedicated external team is currently working on the Nintendo Switch port of Sugardew Island. This team has already successfully ported several games for us in the past, and we're confident that they will deliver a version of Sugardew Island that will delight all our Switch players. Rest assured, they are committed to maintaining the quality and charm of the game on this platform. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/4b342dddfba49e88b72194852c9152a6491ca114.jpg We switched from Unity 5 to 6 for the Switch port, but unfortunately the shaders broke 😕. But it will be fixed :). To place it in perspective: The Nintendo Switch always presents the greatest difficulty, if the Switch version is running, then the port to other consoles is quite "fast". Gamescom Recap Two weeks ago, we had the pleasure of attending Gamescom, where we presented Sugardew Island to a select group of German press members and content creators behind closed doors. It was an incredibly exciting experience for us to witness the first reactions to our game, and we can't wait to share more with all of you soon! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/23405806fad99fa57c0290e2b797153ff69badee.jpg Our tiny booth in the business area - Other devs showcased also their own games there! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/573adfc855946841c73591aec3876663cc0799e4.jpg Sugardew Island Poster For Gamescom, we created a special Sugardew Island poster, which was displayed in our booth.

A lot has happened in the past weeks and while Discord, Twitter and Kickstarter all received some update news, the Steam community wasn't in the loop - that's entirely on me, so here are the latest infos on the game, let's go! ːsteamhappyː - Lis from rokaplay It's vacation season in Europe, and many of our team members are currently on a well-deserved break. As a result, there are a bit fewer news and updates this month, but after Gamescom we'll continue updating all of you as soon as we got fresh news. Guestbook Update 📖 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/d781cfd332d0ae68929b531a628b091f8ef919b6.png Our in-game guestbook, which you can find in the shop, is almost complete! We're just waiting on a few more personalized messages from our amazing Kickstarter backers. Currently, there are still some placeholder texts in place. We’re excited to see their personal messages in the game!

The island is now even more beautiful and customizable! We’ve also added new lamps that create a wonderful nighttime ambiance. We’ll be sharing some pictures of these in the coming days – stay excited! Early Access 🪅 We're also currently working on the **early access version** of the game. It won't be open beta, but some Kickstarter backers will hunt down bugs and test the game, as soon as we get to it. We want to take our time to iron out all the kinks, before the games release. ːsteamhappyː Thank you so much for your continued support and understanding during this quieter vacation period.

We've been really busy over the past weeks, participating in various events. We hosted the "Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration 2024" on Steam 🎮. Additionally, we had to prepare material for the Pillow Fort Spring Showcase and the OTK Expo. Not to forget, we've cracked the 60,000 wishlist mark on Steam, which is absolutely insane – but let's take it one step at a time. Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration 2024 🌟 https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/33025590/view/6762787542895523067?l=english This year's "Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration," hosted by us at rokaplay, featured outstanding games like "Disney Dreamlight Valley" and "Dorfromantik." Sugardew Island was in the "Upcoming Games" category and gathered over 20,000 wishlists. Overall, we now have just over 60,000 people who have added our game to their wishlists. Simply incredible! Pillow Fort Spring Showcase 🛋️ The fantastic people at "The Pillow Fort" hosted the Pillow Fort Spring Showcase, where Sugardew Island was a major focus. We managed to include some new material in the trailer and released a small devlog. Check out the video and give it a thumbs up to support the algorithm! 👍 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--idw9IW3uY Thanks to the entire team at The Pillow Fort. OTK Expo Showcase (okay, just the Pre-Showcase 😅) We strive to present our game to the world, which isn't easy as a small team, but we're doing our best. We applied for a spot at the OTK Expo Showcase and were initially rejected with Sugardew Island. After some pleading, we managed to get into the showcase – only the pre-show, but still! We were glad to have made it that far. Here's the recorded livestream (Warning: Plan for almost 5 hours, but check out 22:48 ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNQMAEgEJlI We continue to work hard on our game and will keep you updated. Do you have any questions? Head to the comments section. Thank you for your support 💓 Team rokaplay {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/bff270f8936cf21ae9cb5e9fb8e542924bc77237.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28912985/13fdfaf1915c77bb8b121965e131d5a640da886f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28912985/1fb9a308322abf93a79c77e45558004d8ff8832c.png Character Editor & New Release SlotMay 22, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello dear Community, 👋 today we're back with an update to give you an insight into the current state of development and some additional information for you. Character Editor 🎨{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/3fe3b3628ba6bd9a7a8ee7e12ee3dc7599815355.png The last few weeks we have been working on a Kickstarter stretch goal, the character editor. This feature was very important to many of you and of course to us, so we made sure that this goal was realized first. 🥳 You can design your character completely freely in the character editor and outfits, hairstyles and accessories are not gender locked. You can wear what you want and what you feel comfortable in. You will get more information about which other features have been added to the game in the next update! 😊 Next Steps & New Release Slot🌻 We are working on the implementation of the other stretch goals. Thanks to your great support and the successful Kickstarter campaign, we were able to unlock some stretch goals, but this also means more work for us in development, which is why everything is taking a little longer than initially expected. We will probably not reach the original release date in the 2nd quarter of 2024, which is why the release date is realistically more likely to be in the 3rd quarter of this year. We hope for your understanding, because we want to use the time to provide you with a great game and realize all your well-deserved features. 🥳 Thank you for your support 💓 Team rokaplay {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44843737/bff270f8936cf21ae9cb5e9fb8e542924bc77237.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28912985/13fdfaf1915c77bb8b121965e131d5a640da886f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28912985/1fb9a308322abf93a79c77e45558004d8ff8832c.png
