Omg this is amazing. I just had an idea for my island but I don't know if it's possible and on what side of the cliff I should build it to look the best. This app is perfect. Minimum effort, maximum result. Love it! Thanks for making this.
Are you considering making the island more island shaped? Or even adding multiple starting island choices w/ rivers so that it's easier to alter? I understand that these would be rather difficult to do, but it would make it so much easier!
long answer; since the current version of the program looks for a very specific file(name) in a very specific folder, what you need to do is basically either rename the file, or create other folders to store them in. this is more or less my setup;
I created a second user account on my computer and re-downloaded the app there. That worked for me to get two separate saves. Though Artoni's way is likely better mine is just another option.
i'm not sure if your already working on this but i would be nice if you could see the buildings on the mini map! again i don't know if your already working on it, but thank you if you are! but i love it and it has helped me so much thank you!
hi, i have downloaded this for Linux/chrome but i don't know how to open it, when i try it brings me to a window that says " select an app to open this file" then there's nothing there. i don't know if there's an app for this or i'm just doing it wrong, would like some help if possible.
it would be lovely to be able to add 12 homes. i have 12 people living on my world but only allowed to place 10 on this designer. It would be nice to add the airport too plus some tree's, flowers, shrubs and maybe an object we could perceive to be furniture/items - that would help me plan what space I have left on my world; I can begin to see a much clearer finish.
Or will it not be possible to build a house or anything else just like the real game? And I'm sorry if I had an error in English I just use Google translation
Hey, I left a donation and all, but I can't download it. Everytime I click on the download for windows button the page just gets blocked, I have tried turning of any adblockers and stuff I have, but I still can't download it.
I just lost my entire project because I didn't know how to save! I thought pressing "add to collection" would save it but I don't know where it had gone. Someone please help.
I want to use two different PC(one at work and one at home) to plan the island, may I ask how can I load back my island after I export the file? I am planning to upload the .island to google drive and go back home and load back the progress I have. Thank you!
Is there a possibility to load your old savefiles, bcs I lost my entire design I made so far and by reloading my island I only receive the default island without something edited :(
If you are on Mac you can copy the old saves folder from com.Company.ProductName - saves and paste it into com.BubbleWand.IslandPlannerMac. You might be able to do the same on windows.
you should (just a sugestion) but you should add trees and flowers and also maybee bushes these dont have to texuted like the buildings but maybe in the next update???
Suggesting things that would inevitably be added if the project were to continue isn't much of a suggestion. I don't see why you felt the need to point those out.
If you have read anything on this page, you'd know that they plan on adding them and that this is an EARLY BUILD. Be patient.
I know I'm Sorry I now see how much of these messages you are getting I'm sorry i love this project and all it has to offer is much more than any other planer because I mean its in 3D!
hey, thanks for being patient everyone!! been a bit overwhelmed as of late but should have an update out soon, in the meantime will try to answer unanswered questions when I can
Hey, I exported an island I created because I wanted to open it up on another computer but I have been trying to do that but I dont know how to open the file. could you help?
When you save, it shows the filename on the screen. Take note on the screen of the location, and then search the location? I just took a screenshot of mine when I saved it.
Make sure you make of copy of this file and not take the file, or you'll lose it on the computer you're taking if from.
i am on linux and haven't had to turn a file executable in 100 years, so i had to dig deep in my memory/terminal history for a minute to make this run. if anyone else has this problem, open terminal in the folder with the executable, and put "chmod +x IslandPlannerLinux.x86_64" and then it will run if you doubleclick it.
i was (genuinely) thrilled to be forced to use my brain for a minute to make this work lol
anyway tho, this is exactly what i need and i'm like "finally i don't have to be afraid of ruining everything when i play with a design" and also the way you described everything on this page is delightful. 10/10 :)
Do you think you'll add placeholders for things like the airport, secret beach, and river entrances? Since those are things we can't move those are what I usually base my island design off to start with so it would be nice to have even just an icon or something to keep track of where it is. :)
I think this is totally awesome. The more I use it, the more I like it! One piece I notice in the overhead view is my difficulty distinguishing the ground, second and third levels apart due to the same "grass" texture. I was wondering if it makes sense to make the second level a darker green and the third level the darkest, similar to the Nook Phone Map in-game colors to make out the different elevations. I know it sort of takes away from the "real feel" of the island, but I think it would be helpful. Thanks so much for making it happen and glad to contribute!
I have been using this for the past week to redesign my island and I love it. One comment is that the map is a little more over sized that my island. So when I went to start a project I was off my 3 blocks. I really like this program so, if you could find a way to make it so you can edit the perimeter of your island that would be fantastic.
this is more of a temporary solution until the dev adds it, but i've been using sand paths to mark the actual edges where my beach meets the grass, measuring out from the larger grid to find where that is
I'm on a mac and can't delete items. For example i made a cliff but I can't delete it when placed. The "delete" key isn't working. I've also tried clicking and pressing delete at the same time. I'm on a macbook pro and not using a mouse to right click. Is there any other way to delete?
I'm on a Mac - right-clicking in general is done with a two-finger click after enabling Secondary Click in System Preferences > Trackpad. CMD-DELETE is usually how you delete something on a Mac, so you could try to see whether that works as Backspace.
Thank you so much for putting this out on the web much appreciated. The only other issue I see besides things you are going to start working on is that on the mini map it should show the buildings that way it can be more easily aligned with the island. The airport being added would also be a plus. This is so awesome though and I can not express in words how much help this is going to be for everyone. ^_^ Thank you.
This is super awesome! Thank you so much for putting in the time to make this planner. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, or maybe it's already planned to be added- or maybe it's already implemented and I'm just stupid lmao. but I would love to be able to place the airport in the spot that it's in on my map so I can plan around it. If that's already something I can do on here, forgive me, I'm still figuring it out. Thank you again for all your hard work!
I love this program!! it really lets me experiment easily so i decided to donate. One thing id LOVE to have as a feature is to change the camera angle so i can get a birds eye view or a ground view for when im putting in cliffs etc, also being able to zoom out more would be great. Thanks for making this app!!

Suggest having a pan option where holding down spacebar toggles the ability to pan while mouse-clicking similar to Photoshop and Illustrator.

Good job and great idea.
hope you can increase the zoom range, and add more to viewing angles
+1 for zoom range!
Are you considering making the island more island shaped? Or even adding multiple starting island choices w/ rivers so that it's easier to alter? I understand that these would be rather difficult to do, but it would make it so much easier!
Will the next update come soon?
I made instructions on how to do this on Windows; anyone have any ideas on how to set this up on Mac?
is it possible to have more than one save file?
short answer; yes, but it's convoluted
long answer; since the current version of the program looks for a very specific file(name) in a very specific folder, what you need to do is basically either rename the file, or create other folders to store them in. this is more or less my setup;
ok thanks
I created a second user account on my computer and re-downloaded the app there. That worked for me to get two separate saves. Though Artoni's way is likely better mine is just another option.
i'm not sure if your already working on this but i would be nice if you could see the buildings on the mini map! again i don't know if your already working on it, but thank you if you are! but i love it and it has helped me so much thank you!
the minus and plus dont seem to work for zooming out- just letting you know
Is it possible to print from this? I want to print out my island so I can then recreate it in game.
hi, i have downloaded this for Linux/chrome but i don't know how to open it, when i try it brings me to a window that says " select an app to open this file" then there's nothing there. i don't know if there's an app for this or i'm just doing it wrong, would like some help if possible.
you mmost likely need to download unity player. i am just using the browser version because i will not need it as often.
donated~ thanks for the awesome work!
it would be lovely to be able to add 12 homes. i have 12 people living on my world but only allowed to place 10 on this designer. It would be nice to add the airport too plus some tree's, flowers, shrubs and maybe an object we could perceive to be furniture/items - that would help me plan what space I have left on my world; I can begin to see a much clearer finish.

I don't think there is; I end up backing up each island, though, just in case!

I'm also not involved in the making of this program. I'm looking forward to it too :)
When is the next update? :(
how do you upload a screenshot of your island map to work from?
I'm using this a TON, and loving the heck out of it! Some suggestions-
--Fill mode for paths/cliffs/rivers; once you make an outline, you're able to just fill the middle.
--With the downloadable version, save as [filename] and open [filename].
Is it possible you could make a 32 bit version of this? I can't download and use this. It's amazing though thanks for your work
I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure the unity engine only runs on 64 bit computers when compiled to OS binary.
hey, thanks for being patient everyone!! been a bit overwhelmed as of late but should have an update out soon, in the meantime will try to answer unanswered questions when I can

But this is already great !
Do you think on adding trees ?
This is extremely helpful! I wish we could zoom out more.

You can press "t" and it will change colors.

that worked thanks!
FN+Delete is the key combo you're looking for!

also the ability to select multiple to drag would be AMAZING.. and again being able to zoom out all the way would be a life save
