Release!

Hello,

after almost three years of development and over a year in Early Access, Indoorlands goes into full release today!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all Early Access players, beta testers, friends and family members who supported us during the development period. Without you this would not have been possible.

Now feel free to watch the trailer:
Watch on YouTube

For the Full Release we have now also added some new features & changes. The roadmap is now complete!

Below is an overview of all the new changes:

Tutorial

For all new players: the game has now got a tutorial, which explains you the basics and for the first time the interaction of visitors, economy and research. If you follow the tips and work through your milestones and contracts quickly, you can progress faster than ever in the game and build huge indoor parks.

We think that the basic game mechanics are now so well explained that you won't have to experiment around as much (as you did in Early Access) and can focus on building parks. This should result in a relaxed yet challenging gameplay experience.

We tried to explain only the essentials and not to be too annoying. Feel free to give us feedback if you need more explanation. Also feel free to tell us what you think about the gameplay and balancing in the full version of Indoorlands now!

To all the previous players who taught themselves the game without a tutorial: We are proud of you :) But if you are interested, feel free to try the new tutorial. We would highly recommend it to everyone! To do that, you just have to go to the settings in the main menu and reset the tutorial progress.

New decorations

We have now added a whole new theming package to the game: medieval.

New coaster content

We had added "Indoorlands" coasters in the last major update. Now we made some more small improvements, but there is also new content for you. For one, there is a new coaster type: inverted coaster.

We also added 3 more coaster halls. We are excited to see what kind of coaster creations you will load into STEAM Workshop in the future.

Achievements & community items

A bigger item on our roadmap was still the missing achievements. You can now unlock over 30 of them.

We also created lots of STEAM community items & trading cards.

New languages

Integrating new languages into the game was also something we had in mind, so we had the following languages translated with professional help:

• French
• Chinese (simplified)
• Korean

We also had the following automatic translations added with DeepL:

• Dutch
• Spanish
• Italian

If you have feedback, especially on the automatically translated languages, feel free to get in touch.

Depending on demand, we will have more languages professionally translated over time. Let us know.

Outlook

So... the Early Access roadmap has been worked through. And now? Where do we go from here? There is no lack of ideas from you and the team!

The motto now is: After the release is before the release. In particular, we will now spend the next few weeks analyzing your feedback and making further improvements based on it. The feedback from new players, who are now playing the game for the first time, is also important to us and will flow into the planning of future updates. A small content update, which will be released later this year, is already planned - but more on that when the time comes.
Our suggestion would be this: get comfortable, take some time and start a completely new park. After you've played for a while, write us your opinion and your suggestions for improvement. Feel free to leave a review on Steam if you haven't done so yet.

We are looking forward to your messages and wish you a relaxing time in your unique indoor park!

We would also be happy to welcome you on our Discord server ( https://discord.gg/2X8WWaK ). Otherwise: you can still submit bug reports and feedback in-game at any time by pressing the button with the beetle in the upper left corner.
