I believe I’ve said it before, but just in case, I will say it again: Future Friends Games have a knack for cosy. The latest on their publishing list is Tranquil Isle, from solo developer Tom Daly.
Taking inspiration from Townscaper and Islanders, Tranquil Isle is a lo-fi town-building rogue-lite where you can build your own ickle townscape on a sunkissed island paradise. A bit like SUMMERHOUSE, where you can chill out and build with no restrictions in sandbox mode; however, there is the option for managing resources and upgrades.
But enough about speculation for a game I’ve not yet played. Here’s a ‘game explainer’ video:
Tranquil Isle is now in an open Playtest on Steam and is due for release in 2024.
