Len's Island News

Hey all,

Big patch today with some new QoL features, balancing changes, and a bunch of bug fixes.

I must admit, the team and I have been pretty burnt out. We have been working around the clock for the past 3-4 weeks to get this update out the door, and the lack of sleep and stress are starting to take a toll. We will now be a little slower with the next patches, releasing them every few days instead of daily. We need the time to recover a bit after the past month, hope you all understand!

For the people who bother to read the patch notes, it would make a big difference if you could leave a review for the game on Steam too. Doesn't have to be a positive one, just an honest review so we can continue to improve the game and focus on what matters most based on your feedback :)

Hey all,

Bunch of various bug fixes and balancing changes today. We're working very hard to squash any bugs we find and balance the new update so everything is smooth.

Right now we are running on very little sleep trying to keep up with everything, we are just a tiny team of 3 devs at the moment so some bugs might take a day or two to fix. If you run into any issues, please submit a report and we will look into it asap!
