Dev started working on his dream game in his bedroom eight years ago. He finally completed it - Len's Island release was celebrated by thousands of fans

A few days ago, version 1.0 of Len’s Island was released on Steam. This is a very interesting project, so it's worth taking a closer look at it. It's a survival game set in a procedurally generated open world where you can play alone or in co-op mode with up to eight people. The action is shown from a bird's eye view, and besides the usual resource gathering, farming, and building structures, it also puts a lot of emphasis on fighting monsters using a combat system similar to the Diablo series.

The development of the game took eight long years, with the last three spent in early access. For a long time, the project was worked on by a single developer, Julian Ball, using a computer located in his own bedroom. The popularity of the title, however, allowed him to hire additional people to help and create a separate office for the entire team after some time.

The road to version 1.0 wasn't easy, but it was worth it because Len's Island was appreciated by the players.

1. On Steam, 85% of all reviews praise this title. However, counting only those issued since June 19 (the day of leaving early access), 80% are positive.
2. The game also delivers impressive results, especially for such a small game, in terms of activity. Last weekend, Len's Island set a new activity record with 15,912 players playing simultaneously.

Len's Island is only available on PC. The game can currently be purchased on Steam for $19.49. This is a special offer price, reduced by 35%. The offer will remain valid until July 3th.
