A downloadable game for Windows

Islebound is a deck based world building game created during the GMTK 2025 theme LOOP - using the gorgeous artworks of Steven Colling!

----

You start with a single hexagon town in the ocean, and the loops begin!

  • Loop 1: Start Isle
    • The first loop of tiles around your capital city appear!
  • Loop 2: Pick a spot! Choose a starting Tile and place terrain cards in an ordered loop around the center tile!
  • Loop 3: Resource Loops
    • After you place buildings on your new isle, resources start to accumulate over time, represented by looping progress trackers!
  • Loop 4: A new Loop of clouds appears around your Isle!
    • Repeat Loop from Loop 2
  • Loop 5: Loop Complete, Next Loop Level!
    • There are 4 levels, each introduce a new SUPER HEX LOOP! around your Isle!
  • Loop 6: Day night cycle!

I used GPT to teach me the basic Hex Formulas requires to draw hexagons (which is just height*0.87 and then offset!) 

The rest was written in Blueprint by me during the Jam.

Art by Steven Colling. Sounds and water fx from my FAB library.
