I'm enjoying following this game's development, I found it really charming from the beginning, the setting, the art direction, and the music. Something I find really cool in adventure/RPG games is the concept of armor/weapons made specifically for fighting a particular type of enemy, and armor/weapons made from a particular type of enemy kind of like a trophy. The Dawnguard armor from Skyrim, for example, the way it protects from vampires. I hope you'll consider something like that for a future update.

[@stevenjadamo]

love all the possibilities with the new enemy pathing... thoroughly enjoying these updates and incredibly excited to see where you and the team take Len's Island to next!

[@RachelNitsche]

Some really great ideas. I love the idea of being able to build something in the caves. I can't wait to see new update. Have you considered mounts, e.g. hourses? Somebody suggested pirates. How about ship to ship combat when you encounter pirates on the ocean? Maybe pirates can attack your settlements and you have to build defensive buildings, like walls and towers? I would add those extra being-attacked features in a more hardcore mode so that builders can focus on building without getting "annoyed" by the pirates. Maybe the pirates got corrupted by the void .. my mind is overflowing with ideas again. Keep up the great work. I love the game and look forward to what is coming next.

[@jacksonwaschura3549]

Very excited to have the dev logs back! I've played through the game once and had a blast. Can't wait for more content to explore and things to build!

[@deckardcain1751]

This is such a wholesome game I love it! Really glad you guys are continuing to work on this game, please keep up the good work! A lot of these early access games fail and the developers just disappear. Don't be like them, be a gem! Looking forward to the new updates

[@astrobug9254]

Everything looks good so far, love the quality-of-life updates. We need a fiber holder, I'm always full on it but love picking it up, haha. So like a barrel or basket, that'd be nice. Also, I'd like to be able to place the wood storage on the fountains. Also, stone and related fences? When it comes to turning the fences they only turn a certain way, it'd be nice to be able to determine more specific directions. Looking forward to the next showcase!

[@mikecochran1759]

guys I hope you read these comments because with controller support can you please please please !! make weapon and tool selection from the hot bar a one button action. Right now you can select a button to cycle left and a button to cycle right on the hot bar and then when you are over the weapon, tool or food you need to press a third button to select it. Can you make it so when you cycle over the weapon or tool that it automatically picks the weapon or tool. remove the need for the use of another button. I can't remember if in the original version of this game if auto selection of the tool bar stuff was a thing before controller support or if my controller remapper was makeing the hot bar a auto select thing but at any rate please make the hot bar an auto select movement. you will need to probably move the food off the hot bar on to its own bar as auto select would make you auto eat the food. If you can't make these changes can you atleast make controller support able to be turned off so the people with remappers xan use their remappers again.

If you do add cats or dogs in the future I would really love if it would be possible to pet them. A simple pet on the had or something and then hearts floating on top that they liked the interaction or something similar. I am sure this small thing would make a lot of people happy :D I keep hoping for this to be added in Genshin or Zelda and I assume it will never come to that but maybe you can pull it off :D :)

[@alec_almartson]

Yeah, for instance in "Planet of Lana" it is possible to pet "Mui" (your cat-like animal companion). I do that from time to time, to raise up the team vibes 😂

[@diligencehumility6971]

Nice to see how you develop as game-developers. You went from putting in a fish update without much relation to the game, to now dive deeper and ask yourself why, you are brave enough to re-work map generation, re-work armor system and combat, sacrificing to progress and make it better.

[@Husmanmusic]

Killing it with these updates!

[@Basedbee_]

Just restiveness to the game, really enjoying everything. Great work.

[@barefootwalk1798]

I appreciate that you remain commited to just the right amount of footwear variety. New town also looks better, a bit more frontier town.

[@tessie4204]

Me and my girlfriend are waiting for local coop or online coop :)

[@daedaluxe]

Are you planning to split the armors categories into pvp and pve? So you don't have to be constantly swapping between a dungeon armor set and a farming armor set?

[@user-qh4qx1cs9c]

I know it's difficult, but it would be nice if they put pirates on some islands, in the sea and, if possible, invade our island. Anyway, excellent game, greetings from Argentina

[@lexy8692]

Hi I find this game really charming and Peaceful, I wish there were more skin and hair color options when in character creation, hopefully this is something you guys can add? and Also I’m wondering are there plans to extend the access bar? There are only 4 slots and I realize it’s a pain to have to constantly switch out a tool item with a food item because there isn’t enough space to hold my main items. Adding two more slots to the access bar would help tremendously!

[@Mykhaylo412]

Still waiting for the day where you implement inverse kinematics for the correct feet placement. The crabs climbing the stairs looked a bit weird

[@i8bluefrog804]

Can you add shoes for Len? He looks weird without them when having amour on :D

[@FlowStudio]

Perfect, just the way we want it! 😈

[@GuillemPoy]

Great work with the dynamic nav mesh! Which approach did you use to be able to update it on the fly without lag?

[@iansmith3301]

What did you guys do for dynamic navigational meshes? Is that an asset or new Unity feature?

[@daedaluxe]

This game looks badass dude, I've been following for a while, since you were under another name, and honestly don't know why I haven't picked it up yet. I'm on quite a strict budget for myself right now and fun purchases are not in there unfortunately. Would this perhaps be on sale during the steam summer sale? Also if I did buy the game is there a way to easily send feedback at all?

[@magicpondrecords]

Its giving Diablo 4 + Sims 4 had a baby 😂 looks great

[@PalaDinXPG]

I'm finding the ideas and everything very good, what I still don't know is if you'll have to reset the save after this update or not?... will you be able to continue normally with our save already created and full of constructions?... my community likes Len's Island a lot, the only thing that the Brazilian community reports and complains a lot is about the character always being barefoot, general comments that they could put a shoe on him, but it's the purpose of the game for him to be barefoot I believeI'm finding the ideas and everything very good, what I still don't know is if you'll have to reset the save after this update or not?... will you be able to continue normally with our save already created and full of constructions?... my community likes Len's Island a lot, the only thing that the Brazilian community reports and complains a lot is about the character always being barefoot, general comments that they could put a shoe on him, but it's the purpose of the game for him to be barefoot I believe

You won't have to reset your save files :)

Hello 👋

[@morpheuszion885]

when comes the German localisation?You will get more players.

[@NeroZashi]

I hope the Difficulty is re-balanced in the update, the game got much harder with the first Boss fight 😥

[@anodyne4670]

I just want to show my appreciation for actually make breastplate a breastplate. Also for commitment to keeping Len barefooted.

[@light2937]

Wow lovely art and atmosphere , I noticed the armor are plain and lack the luster , to me I am fan of game items , and the thing that attracts me to the rpg are different kinds of items and armors , see Diablo II REMASTERED item UI reference ..
