Developer News.2026-05-19Hello Islandvillers... Sorry for the lapse in contact but I simply needed a break. Im cooked. I honestly dont know what I am going to do except to keep fixing the problems one by one. I feel EVERY ONE of these reviews I am getting right now. I am now STUCK in a place I never wanted to be as an indie dev. Someone else effecting my final product and I can't do or say much about it. So what I have been doing is focusing on a NEW plan to return the game to as close to the "old version" as I possibly can. There are some things that are hardcoded into the new engine that I can not change but I am currently working on giving the player more options
MOAR Fixes!!! The Coin Game2026-03-30Hello Islandvillers! devotid here with another Hot Fix for you! I'll keep sitting in this chair until they are ALL gone. Thank you for giving me a chance and supporting this crazy project "reaching" for the next level. Not everything in life goes how you plan... but its how you answer those tough times that will define you. So thank you to all of you giving me a chance to fix this and build it better than it has ever been. FIXES: - Fixed the leaderboards taking over the game and locking the players input with the watch open. It will also now warn you to close the leaderboards before opening the watch. - Fixed the final menu navigation and res
The Coin Game Major Fixes!2026-03-27Hello Islandvillers! I am thankful to say that I have finished a patch that I believe will fix many of the problems players are facing with the new 1.0 update! I also brought back the old physics on the coin pushers. In this update I have focused on game/inventory saving and controller/Keyboard mapping along with player movement. I have also re-installed the much loved "old legacy" physics on ALL coin pushers and throwing games. This is a huge task to do in 48 hours and will require a little more tweaking to perfect them but I am very happy with them. I got a little preoccupied with updating the entire engines backend that I started taking ad
The Coin Game Hot Fixes2026-03-22Hello Islandvillers! First off just wanted to say that I am sorry for the rough launch and the failure of many key systems in the game. It was unacceptable and Its no ones fault but mine. I had a new game saving system and Player controller that I rebuilt and I thought it was ready to go. It turns out I could not have been more wrong. I wont dwell on it and make excuses. I am just going to work as hard as I can to fix these mistakes for the community. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding in these times. I have spent the last 48 hours working on things that I CAN fix right away. The inventory and Controller configs intermitt

The Coin Game 1.0 is Here! 🪙2026-03-19Hello Islandvillers!!!!The Coin Game 1.0 is finally here. Over the last year I have rebuilt The Coin Game with an updated Unity engine. I planned on this taking 5-6 months. Well I couldn't have been more wrong. The scene loading system that I rebuilt, required recoding every single machine in all six of the interior buildings. That alone took me months to do. Just the translations took 6 months. Apparently there is ten's of thousands of words in The Coin Game. Haha. I mean. I should know that, as I wrote them all. Its crazy how much stuff one person can pile up over a decade of working on something. I am grateful for all the help and wonderfu
IMPORTANT: Early Access Saves 📝2026-03-17Hey there, Islandvillers! The new 1.0 launch is just around the corner and I am so excited for the 19th March! I've been pretty busy "doing the codes" with Jerry Bot (It's what he calls coding). Him and I have been optimizing, adding new content and working on many quality of life fixes over the last year. Ever since Jerry Bot learned "the computers" over the last few seasons he thinks he is a coder now because he figured out how to change the dinger on his digital door chime at the Gas and Go. So I just tell him he is helping... :) This new 1.0 version marks a new era for The Coin Game. A new higher standard of quality. (I want to say a BIG

LAUNCH DATE Coming March 19th!2026-03-05HELLO ISLANDVILLERS!!March 19th, 2026!Save the date! THE COIN GAME V.1.0 WILL BE RELEASED! I am happy to announce that the long road to 1.0 has come to an end. The Coin Game is coming to PC and Consoles on March 19th, 2026! Released on Steam Early Access in 2019, The Coin Game was a tiny idea I had pitched to Steam Green Light. After a few months of gathering votes it passed. I was blown away that others liked the idea of a small town arcade time waster. Here we are almost 7 years later and now with a rock solid new foundation to build into the future on! Fresh new whips...Fresh new locations...Lets look back at where we came from...This is t

So for making that happen, again I am forever grateful to EVERY player, streamer, reviewer and new friend I have made
Mini Dev Diary #1: The Lean, Mean, DUNKO Machine!2025-11-26Grab those cheesy poofs, get comfy on the sofa, and tune into this mini behind the scenes with devotid! This week, we’ll be looking at the iconic DUNKO machine 🦆 Which real life machine inspired the idea of the DUNKO coin pusher? When I was around 10 I lived in a small town that would host a traveling carnival. I only lived about a block away from the park so I would ride my bike there every summer. They had a couple traveling trailers full of “shady” coin pushers. They were the older wooden pushers that you could pause the game and load em up for a good push. I would play them for hours and annoy the workers so much that they would send me

Unity security patch for (CVE-2025-59489) is complete2025-10-11Unity recently announced a major security vulnerability (CVE-2025-59489) affecting many games that are made with Unity. So yesterday, BarryBot and I implemented the security fix that was issued. You will see a small update being pushed to all users the next time you start the game. It was just for security and only backend stuff. I am still converting the game to a newer version of Unity but this HAD to be done. Barry and I value all users and their ability to game safely in Islandville. I will also be removing the original free demo for The Coin Game on Monday of next week. It is so old that it doesn't even represent the game properly. I wil
The Coin Game Development update Fall 20252025-10-01What month is it? Summers not over is it? No way. I missed it?What an adventure. Its been a couple months since I have seen another human besides my wife and maybe a couple random postal workers. The days all blend together and sometimes I feel like Jerry Bot and I are really friends. He talks about the old days when gas was only pennies for a gallon as I tell him all about the new version of Unity and how tough it is to update a 100 Gig project in the middle of developing it. He pretends to understand what I am talking about but I can tell he is clueless, as he knows nothing about modern technology. As always though, The ol'fart is weirdly o
