This is amazing! My only issue so far is that I can't actually fit my entire island within the grid. I went along and made an actual block checkerboard type grid on my island to make sure I got dimensions right and it's about 2 blocks short vertically for me to fit everything. For now I'm just cutting off the last two blocks from the bottom. It works beautifully otherwise. I'm glad I contributed. :)
I really wanted to say thank you for this amazing island planner! I cannot wait to see more of what will be added and I'll keep on donating from time to time because this is just really awesome and well made!
This is a fantastic app, I have an issue currently where when I play it in browser, left clicking my mouse tries to place a thing and also move the camera up. Right clicking moes it down and removes.
But on the app itself the thing jsut continuously pans up and to the left without my input. So far I can't figure out why this is doing it.
Is this able to be downloaded on a ChromeOS through Linux Terminal? I haven't tried yet, and honestly I just don't feel like seeing if it does, I might check a little later. Also for those of you wondering I have a PC + a Chromebook and I use the Chromebook on the fly as a YouTube watching, emailing, music making, and web surfing device while I'm away from home.
I'd really like to see the low angle the game has, which lets you see the horizon. Actually, now that i type that i can see how that might make it a little more complicated, because you'd have to create a sky, but still!
I think just a single generic flower would be good for a placeholder, and possibly a super simple tree and bush would be the way to go (ie, tree is just a cylindrical trunk with three green orbs, bushes are just a green orb, and hedges are rounded rectangualr prism). Using 3-d assets is helpful so that we could see what it would block from view. This is super useful though, keep up the good work!
hi! if there was a way we could upload our already made maps from happy island designer onto here, and then it would translate onto this website in 3d that would be amazing!!
Excited to see a tree, bush, and flower generic visual placeholder. Planning for that kind of space and placement is hard to do when relying on remembering to include an extra space for a row of bushes, extra space or two for the tree placement, etc.
This is really such a great tool! I would love if it came with island presets, though. There are only a select amount of possible island layouts, and they've all been collected into a single image before. I like to build off what the game gave me, instead of a total blank state. :)
Also, I noticed a size error: the tailor shop is currently 5x2 in this planner, when it should actually be 5x3!
Fantastic tool! I reproduced my entire island on it. I'm using it on mac, and I wish I could save several files, today the tool allow me to save just one. (I can rename the file on terminal to have several save files, but it's not practical). Other wishes are: zoom out, trees and flowers. The fornitures are not needed, 'cause the use of the tool is to plan the terraforming before breaking down the entire island! The idea of a placeholder sizeable is fantastic! Congratulations!
I love this! I have a few ideas though... first, i would like to be able to zoom out much farther. Second of all, you should add a misc. button that allows you to place things like flowers. And finally, i would like to be able to experiment with different fences. No rush though!
Love this so much! I donated some money to the cause!
I am going to spend some time making some default map layouts (to give myself some starting points). If you would like the save files when I am done so you can incorporate them into your program I will send them your way!
first off, this is a super program! a small recommendation, though, is allowing buildings to show up on the mini map and putting the airport/airport entrance somewhere on the beach
This is amazing! Thank you for the last update. Can't wait to see trees coming! Hope bushes are also a part of your previsions.
I presume the idea has already been shared, but I imagined that it would be great if it exists a kind of view-mode tool that track the view from the airplane when someone is coming to your island. So in this way, we can plan beautiful concepts to be seen from the sky!
could be really cool to have an option to clear map based on selection, like dragging the mouse over an area and a selection mask appears and you can choose to just clear it instantly... kinda annoying to have to go in by hand to remove everything... idk
Is there a way to open an island designed on the web client on the Windows IslandPlanner? Created most of my island on web before realizing the Windows version runs much better for me. Thanks for any help.
looking into this!! web version is being saved into the web browsers local storage at /idbfs/islandplanner/saves/islandmanager.island, and the desktop version gets saved somewhere in appdata (at least on windows, not sure where on mac/linux but it will tell you the exact path when you try saving/loading) so taking the save from one and putting it in the other should work in concept but i have no idea how to get it out of the browsers localstorage (i even tried downloading a few extensions to do it but cant seem to figure out how...)
if you can make an import feature to import the islandmanager.island I think that might be an easy way to solve it (after using the export you built to get it out)
So cool!! A few frustrations were the whole big canvas thing and not knowing where you were in relation and also it would be great if you could pre-load the map options from the game. That would be a total game changer! Thank you so much for doing this!
Great!! So far my main frustration is a lack of a brush size, and also the fact that I assumed that this was a big endless grass canvas and started working from an arbitrary point... Only to realize later this was already an island and I had built on like, this random arbitrary corner. I realized later that the grid marks out acres which I could use to sorta measure out where my airport is on my real island and build from there, but a minimap or something would help greatly. I'd also love to be able to copy-paste stuff.
This is better than a 2d map to plan out things, I love how I don't have to waste time in game to terraform and get frustrated, this is a good time saver/editor. The only frustration I have with this is that I cannot zoom out to see more of the map, it makes it harder to plan an island without seeing the big picture that you add to with the little details. Thing that I would love to see added are a 2d map and a copy/paste drag and drop type of editing so I can pick up landscaping and design to put it somewhere else on the island, but for being in such an early stage, it's already better than any island editor in my opinion.

On the map, could you add it so we can see what's there? (inclines, houses, buildings, etc.)
Could we have the ability to load different save files easily one day? :)

if the mini map can show where the buildings are, just like in game that you can see building in mini map that will be so nice!

Waiting for trees !
Once this has trees/bushes, I will be 100% over-the-moon happy with this.
This is a life and sanity savior!
Can't wait for the zooming out feature and also select and move multiple tiles at once, that would be an after life savior.

awesome app, however, i'm having troubles finding the save on my windows. :( i then downloaded the app but unable to load the save. help. :(

could you make it so we can add notes like which villager lives here and names of places ex: park, memory garden

No less than amazing.
Does anyone know if this works on Android tablets?

Hey! Amazing tool. My only big issue is not being able to zoom out further. Keep it up man! :D
I love this! I have a few ideas though... first, i would like to be able to zoom out much farther. Second of all, you should add a misc. button that allows you to place things like flowers. And finally, i would like to be able to experiment with different fences. No rush though!
Wish i could export to a picture with a grid to copy! hahaha
Amazing - love it - thank you
This is a lot of fun! My only gripe is that I wish I could zoom out further... Either way, this is gonna help a lot.

Thank you again and good luck for the future.
this is seriously amazing! i was doing everything in photoshop but this is so much better!

also an undo button would be neat!

ok if you load it here and then go to save you should be able to export your save now!!
Perfect thank you so much!
does anyone have an idea of how many squares wide rivers normally are?
The ones on my island are between 3 and 4 wide
So cool!! A few frustrations were the whole big canvas thing and not knowing where you were in relation and also it would be great if you could pre-load the map options from the game. That would be a total game changer! Thank you so much for doing this!
For the noobs who are just getting started. :)

Wish to download the save file from the web.
