Len's Island Game Description:
Build, fight, farm and explore. Experience your own path. Whether it's building the home of your dreams, tending to your crops and watching the sun go down; or explore the mysteries of the Island and the darkness underneath, but you may want to take a sword with you.
Developed by Flow Studio
Flow Studio is a game development studio based in Brisbane, Australia. We are currently developing Len's Island, an open-world action-adventure game with building, farming, crafting, and survival game mechanics. Len's Island is built in the Unity 3D game engine.

As a beginner games developer who's just finished my third year of university, I am very very impressed and proud of what you have achieved and will achieve. Good luck to you

[@VandasTheRatbag]

The water in lens Island is amazing!!!! The look of this game is great so eye catching love the art style

[@cheddar9871]

Thnaks, glad you liked the water! :D

[@JohnnyThousand605]

The sound design in this game is really good. Very rich and appropriate effects. =)

[@LarsErikFjsne]

Thank you! :D

[@MattiaConti]

When you work very hard on a project and you enjoy the product more than your customer, this is the result! Congratulation!

[@notsoren665]

Graphics are stunning !

[@zanarkandmusic]

I seriously can't wait, been watching the development so long! It's come so far!

[@domanesticpeep4427]

I mean, the game took 3 years and it was first started by a dude and it then expanded, the game is still little bit under development for the release if in case if there are bugs or maybe updating the combat system

[@mrmountainer5183]

Great demo! It looks really polished already! One thing though: At 6:24 when you were at the Hideaway, it makes no sense, that the pirate's skeleton is intact like that. It takes a long time until all the flesh is rotten away and wind and weather would have had a long time to wither the bones down or blow sand and small stones on the corpse. Especially out in the open like that. So it makes more sense if there was just a skull and some smaller bones there, partially buried under sand or something. Idk, just thought I'd mention.

[@TylerF]

I rewatched that intro about 12 times

[@Fiatluc]

twice here. That's so awesome.

[@domanesticpeep4427]

The intro is a very cool thing to look at

[@Ilovegagaification]

With the character customization at the beginning you should add some different presets for different hair and skin colors! Maybe some options for different hair textures like fros and braids

[@domanesticpeep4427]

This game is a demo, maybe updating after the release can make a big change

[@kubaspicak5387]

Why? Racist much?

[@RawFrequency]

I became obsessed with the demo over the weekend, huge respect for what you're building here - really enjoyable game that strikes a great balance between relaxing elements and exciting exploration elements - can't wait for the full game!

[@alexvlad6978]

This game looks and feels amazing! Congrats from a fellow artist (hopefully an indie developer as well in the future)! There is one little detail that's not living me alone: the wind blowing in the grass I think needs a bit of turbulent noise. When you have a big patch of grass around the player you have the impression that the land is waving like the sea beneath his feet! Other than that....PERFECTION! Good luck!

[@BenTheMelon]

I missed you man. Super psyched for the full game

[@NoaTugy]

I love how free this demo is! You can do whatever you want without any structure!

[@AstonJay]

I really love the smooth fading animation that you implemented when you transition between different layers / levels of the house.

[@KianSaadi]

The new intro brings the heat with it damnnn

[@joemuhoozi5413]

Love the new Logo. Amazing stuff. Followed this game dev for a while now. Congratulations.

[@tophinski]

12:25 - Those logs should float!

[@bram7703]

Ya float on the water and have a splash animation

[@Xarlithion]

Dude. Well done indeed. Watched from the beginning. Building my own RPG and you played a part in inspiring me to finally commit.

[@milo4885]

I don't normally watch 50 minute videos in one go but this was just too interesting. I hope you do more of these I really enjoyed it

[@rincewindwizzard]

"I'll try to play like any old person". proceeds to speedrun barrel roll for the entire video.

[@lucasbird6367]

Very Beautiful Graphics! Congratulations! :)

[@kosmotion2081]

The way you can climb anywhere high is an awesome feature for these types of games!! I loved it

[@MrChambers]

You've come a long way my dude. Seriously inspirational work!

[@LongestYardstick]

Your game dev progression has inspired me. This looks incredible.

[@ItsKriger]

the quality of the gameplay, graphics and amount of polish to the game in its demo phase is amazing!! :D i bet me and alot of people would've easily think that this game is made by a AAA company

[@Cutiejuliya]

true

[@mokzilla9330]

Came here after watching Raptor and Splattercats playthrough, can't wait to play it! Such a great idea and looks really polished, then I heard it was an Aussie Indie studio too! Can't wait for the steam release.

[@spikycactus7429]

I have been wanting to play this for ages, Im so glad the demo is free

[@TheEsc00per]

I think co-op will make this game 100 times more interesting

[@danielmytryk8906]

This looks so clean, day one for me.

[@Ilovegagaification]

I’ve been watching the development of this game and I’m soooo excited for it to come out. I’m especially excited about the base building and farming. I’m hoping that there’s loads more base customizations and more crops to grow in the completed game!

[@xBoWxEclipse]

love the look and feel, cant wait for release

[@wissemhajbi4548]

yes please post more gameplays and dev vlogs

[@daptydeduck3998]

It's cool seeing you play your own game👍

[@RPGMadnessVX]

Looking amazing!

[@Escanor89]

can´t wait for the october release! Will buy It for sure and support this wonderful work!

[@Pontypants]

this is some epik stuff! Can't wait to try it myself!!

[@jakeplumridge]

dude this is looking so good. so keen to play this.

[@LieutenantNuggets]

Glad to see more Aussie game devs making more amazing stuff!

[@blackheartgaming6121]

It’s good to be back after awhile of being gone

[@Sluffin]

Looks amazing man! Only thing I really don't like is how you have to roll everytime to go anywhere rather than jus running. Kinda looks ridiculous imo just rolling all over the place. (obviously you dont have to roll) but it seems like rolling is the only way to get around quickly.

[@trickpa80]

Really amazing job , can't wait to play !!

[@RsnCheered]

Looking good bro! Been following for a while/playing the demo a bit, seems like things are coming a long nicely :)

[@shippr30]

Loving this! Wishlisting now

[@Halconyx]

Loved the demo on Steam. Hope to see camera rotation in the future.

[@stevenjadamo]

One of the easiest day one purchases I'll ever make. Can't wait! :)

[@User-vs2wc]

That an amazing work from the beginning you were focus on it can't wait to see to official game you need to make some ad on KZbin maybe or no need I told one of my friends your game he wa sso impressed 🔥🔥📈

[@nocapitzcrysis]

NoCap Can’t wait to play the game

[@catchme4060]

Wow... amazing.. i like this type of games.. More explorations... Secret treasures.... building and crafting.

[@dynamic2798]

I can see big potential in this game! I want to play it :D

[@judasRP]

Love the game, anxious for playing

[@ShadezGhost]

This game looks sooooo amazing :O

[@jollyroger8494]

Wow, that Intro!

[@nichegames9590]

I feel like this game is going to be a hit. Nice work.

[@spikycactus7429]

lets hope

[@xfxmerc]

Here before this blows up

[@Bennyjprice]

i was a big runescape player back in the day and i can say this game is everything ive dreamed of

[@Bennyjprice]

will the full game have armor sets?

[@sad_man10]

That intro is impressive

[@kamila.malach]

There is one thing I usually hate when it comes to games like this - that you HAVE TO fight some enemies in order to get somewhere or collect something. In one of your previous videos you said that the user would be able to lead a peaceful life, build a house and so on, however now it seems that I HAVE TO go down the cave as there are some materials I need or otherwise I wouldn't be able to build some objects. If it was up to me the first part of the cave would not have any enemies. Look, even your own reaction was "I don't want to fight them"

[@morbus5726]

Any thoughts into adding IK? The game looks visually amazing, but the foot placement at times is kinda weird.

[@LLLaBeJIb]

Great visual style! Only one thing I cannot unsee - when you stationary chopping tree, grass behaves too much like water.

[@flpkt]

48:00 Thank god you collected that wood!

[@cheddar9871]

hahaha yeah, I wouldn't have able to sleep at night if he had not collected that wood!

[@masenta]

This is amazing :o

[@OBELION9]

wow i played the demo for over 2 hours and i didnt know you could jump... that certainly makes things easier :D

[@JesusW4y]

Looks amazing!

[@devgilmore]

HYPE

[@RobertBojor]

This looks amazing! Congrats on the amazing work you have done so far! One small question, is it a point a click or WASD control scheme? :)

[@cheddar9871]

Hi there, the control is similar to Diablo. Hold the right mouse button to move in the direction of the mouse pointer. If you press the left mouse button you can attack, interact, select, etc. Press Q for rolling, space bar for jumping, and there are some other keys for special moves.

[@mohammadazad8350]

It's just wonderful to watch a developer playing his game, but I wonder if it's even fun to play something you have worked on for months and you know everything in advance?

[@twopiece8458]

yes, but developing a game is far different from playing it. because playing it when you know how hard you worked is fun

[@Bacana]

Incrível! E, Julian, você é um cara muito divertido e simpático! =D Jogo lindo e estou viciado! Amazing! And, Julian, u r a very nice and kind guy! =D Wonderfull game and i'm addicted to it!

[@OverAndOverAndOver]

New series title: How to Win: Len's Island Demo

[@aminearesar2498]

The player must feel dizy from all the rolling

[@RamHomier]

I like that you included the expected feature of having game sound way too loud requiring to lower it when you start for the first time. 😅

[@developerdeveloper67]

This is so cool, love the combat, the cave could use some environment background noise.

[@nikolajl]

Great game. I'm very excited for it. Would you include controller support?

[@AlbertAlbertB.]

I would love to see more coming from the trees. Ravens, other birds (singing birds or otherwise), mayhap a snake in a certain territory for example. More fauna would make the game feel more alive, I feel. And more exciting. For example. a rabbit walking by when you walk; a fish you can see in the water; a lizard walking on the rocks and slithering away. That would be amazing. Furthermore, and I hope I do not annoy you, I feel that the slashing of the sword when cutting shrubberies does not feel correct in correlation with the rest of the tools you showed. I feel it is a bit too fast and does not look as hefty as the rest of the tools.

[@AlbertAlbertB.]

This comment looks critical, but I do really love the aesthetic and graphics. The gameplay looks very interesting and fun too.

[@cheddar9871]

This is in the list of things to be added. It's just that there is still a lot in the list for 2 devs to implement everything xD

[@AlbertAlbertB.]

@@cheddar9871 Very understandable, and I am hyped to see how you guys will implement more in this game, and to maybe see something I said here to become true in the game.

[@andyzzone]

Damn, this game looks really fun and promising! has adventure time vibes in it, wonder if you get a yellow pet dog later on too...

[@goldkat94]

The graphics are really amazing. I was wondering, where can I get those cartoon textures? I can´t find them on websites like poliigon, are they maybe selfmade? If so, would you think about it to release them on textures websites? I guess you would get a good amount for it ;)

[@hamhuemandeyt9019]

REALLY wanna watch the video but keep myself away as i would love to play the finished game without knowing anything

[@rubenventer1736]

The slide animation/crawl ability feels like it is a bit too much, like the distance the character dashes forward is quite big. (just my opinion) But great game !

[@SkateMasterman]

oh my god why have i not heard of this till now??? I wanna playyy!!!!

[@SkateMasterman]

Wishlisted! This looks so good!

[@JohnAmanar]

I'm looking forward to this game much more than to Diablo IV and that is a big deal. Looks super awesome! I also love the dev diaries so much!

[@zipdog12]

Very cool, love the demo. Not sure if this was asked but are there going to be like checkpoints or some sort of warping or saving system within the dungeons in the full release?

[@moofy3294]

Cool

[@gulliesgaminganddev9990]

this is totaly nice game

[@WarpedSpace]

Sweet !

[@__RobertM__]

Everything looks great in this game, and it's awesome to see the progress you made, however... the rolling animation... half of screen? Is that something you're going to scale back, cause that's the only thing people will do to traverse the terrain quickly...

[@K9Tvz]

The roll if you pause frame is like less than 1/4 of the screen to be completely honest lol

[@requenz_]

I wanna play this game now!!

[@tmappl]

Major oldschool Runescape vibes

[@dokterhewan8656]

co-op pleasse, and large map will great

[@LeGuyIncognito]

Any Plans for Coop? Would be fun to play with a buddy

[@cafegaming6855]

you shoul add open chest animation better than just break the chest

[@penokoh9494]

As you were chopping wood I noticed the grass moving in a very wavy pattern, and I immediately got dizzy and disoriented. Will there be an option to turn that off?

[@Rufiowascool]

Having to roll everywhere feels to me like either run speed is too slow or roll is too fast

[@crypleman]

whether the animation was prepared using blender? or using procedural animation?

[@tanjiro9293]

Super video! I applauded for A$2.00 👏

[@MattiaConti]

I very like this game. But please, if you are creating a house, finish all the walls! It very disturbing me that you don't enter from the door ahahha

[@mememihnea]

Go with this to the Blockchain and metaverse!

[@yeye3999]

Why would you make rolling the main mode for running

[@dujanaaziz]

make it multiplayer mate

[@gabrielemarino1360]

Can I actually list few feedbacks in this comment section to let you know what the game is missing?

[@sanjivinsmoke9154]

You probably should

[@charmmar14]

How do I demolish my old building to make a better one in stone?

[@RsnCheered]

Forgive me if you showed this but is there a feature where your health is restored to full when you sleep? Think that could be quite useful if you've had to flee a fight in a dungeon rather than having to spend ages collecting food again etc
