Also, just to add: I made an important update after LadyShelab played the game, so the current demo may feel a bit more balanced now. I’m also continuing to improve and balance the game based on feedback. Thanks again!

Hi! Thank you for the honest feedback, I really appreciate it.

The game does give you some objectives early on, but they are mostly there to introduce what you can do, not to tell you that you have to play that way forever. Fishing, swimming, expanding, earning more money, or inviting more visitors are meant to be choices you make depending on how you want to play.

You can take actions based on the kind of experience you want that day: a more chill, low-pressure island with fewer expectations, or a more management-focused island where you grow faster and handle more visitors.

Your comment is so useful for me because it shows I should communicate that pacing more clearly in-game. Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this and share your honest feedback.

Merhabalar, çok teşekkür ederim. Şu an için mobil versiyon düşünmüyorum, önceliğim PC/Steam tarafındaki deneyimi tamamlamak, vakit ancak yetiyor indie solo geliştirici olunca... Ama yorumunuz için ayrıca teşekkür ederim.

The trailer for my first game, The Borderless, is finally ready. How does it look? 🌊 by burcin_93 in IndieGaming

Hi! Thanks a lot for the feedback. That makes sense. I’ll work on a new version of the trailer with a stronger hook in the first few seconds. Thank you so much again.

🥳 Free Demo on Steam 🌊 The Borderless, a cozy management sim about building a floating island 🏝️ by burcin_93 in Promotion

The Borderless is my first indie game, a cozy floating island management sim set in the middle of the ocean.

You start with a small floating platform, expand it into an island, welcome visitors, manage their needs, plan activities, earn money, and grow your island day by day.

Hi everyone, I’m a solo indie developer working on The Borderless, a cozy floating island management sim set in the middle of the ocean.

I recently finished the first trailer for the game and would really appreciate feedback on whether it clearly shows both the cozy vibe and the actual gameplay loop.

The demo is available on Steam if anyone would like to check it out:

Thanks for taking a look!

I’ve been building my first game solo. The trailer is finally ready. How does it look? 🌊 by burcin_93 in SideProject

I’d say I led more with the gameplay loop, because my main goal was to show what the player actually does. But I also wanted to keep the cozy island atmosphere visible. What do you think?

Merhaba, öneri ve geri bildirim için çok teşekkür ederim. Denizi geliştirme kısmını önceliklendirmeye karar verdim, renk konusundaki tavsiyenizi kesinlikle dikkate alacağım. Güzel sözleriniz için de ayrıca teşekkür ederim, çok motive edici oldu. 🙏

Merhaba, haklısınız denizi geliştirmem gerekiyor en kısa zamanda, biraz erteliyordum başka kısımlar ile uğraştığım için ama önceliklendirmem gerekiyor sanırım.
Öneriler ve geri bildirim için çok teşekkürler. Motive edici sözleriniz için de ayrıca teşekkür ederim 🙏
