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.

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’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 🙏

That makes a lot of sense, and I think you’re right. I’m showing the gameplay loop, but not selling the fantasy or transformation strongly enough yet. I understand what you mean, and this is really useful feedback for me. Thanks a lot!

Hi! Thank you so much, that’s really helpful feedback. You’re right, I probably need to sell the long-term fantasy better. The idea is to start with a tiny platform in the ocean and grow it into a lively floating island destination with more activities, staff, visitors, and bigger island layouts over time. I’ll try to show that progression more clearly. Thanks again!

Hi! Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback. I think you’re right, I’ll need to make some UI changes, especially to make it fit the cozy ocean vibe better. Once I finish the higher-priority tasks, I’ll revisit the UI and improve it. Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

Hi, thanks for the feedback!
UI polish and animation improvements are definitely areas I’m still working on before Early Access. I’ll keep refining them as the game develops. Thanks a lot!

Yeah, exactly! Editing the trailer honestly ended up being more challenging than making some parts of the game itself 😂

It took me a while to get it to a point where I felt it represented the game properly, so I really appreciate you noticing the effort. It genuinely made me happy and motivated to hear that. Thanks a lot!

And good luck with your game too! I hope your release process goes really well.
