Dawn
A pastel sea at first light, mist on the water, a gull crossing as the sun clears the horizon. Every morning, the sea gives up one island.
About the game
Every morning a new voxel island rises from the sea. It is the same island for every player, with the same 30 building tiles in the same order. Place houses, fields, mills and harbours one at a time so neighbours lift each other's score, then fly over a friend's village on the very same island and see who planned it better. Same island, same tiles, wildly different towns. Same Island is in development for iOS and Android.
Features
- One island for everyone: a new island every day, identical for every player, with the whole tile order known in advance. Planning beats luck.
- Neighbours matter: every tile scores from what sits around it, and each tile's rule fits in one sentence. The score ripple shows every change before you place a tile.
- Compare with friends: send your finished village as a link and fly over theirs on the same island, then see where you land on the daily leaderboard.
- Fifteen calm minutes a day: no ads and no timers. Pause whenever you like and come back tomorrow for a new island.
- Easy to read: buildings differ by shape and icon, not only by colour, with adjustable text size and reduced motion. In English and Swedish.

Story
A quiet sea, a new island every dawn, and thirty tiles to turn it into a village. The game opens with a short sequence set to music, told in a few on-screen lines, and then hands you today's island.
Manuscript
The rise
Voxel blocks stack up out of the water: beach, meadow, a river finding its way down, a forest popping up. The same island, for everyone.
The deck
A small raft bumps the beach with a neat line of thirty crates, each marked with a tile. Thirty tiles, always in the same order.
Other villages
Faint outlines of other villages flicker over the island one after another, each a very different town on the same coastline. Build your village. Then visit theirs.
Your move
The outlines fade and the camera settles on today's empty island, the first tile hovering over a plot. Your move.
Art direction
A tidy miniature diorama in morning light: chunky pastel voxels with soft bevelled edges and gentle ambient occlusion, matte flat colours, a quiet turquoise sea the island floats on, terracotta roofs as the one warm accent and a soft golden glow only where your next tile will score. Palette: sea #9ED8DB, sand #F6E7CB, meadow #6BAA75, terracotta #E07A5F, slate #3D405B.
