This Game Developer Gets It | Flow Studio | Len's Island

In this video I discuss the recent developer update by Flow Studio for their game, Len's Island and how it should be an example for other game developers on how to incorporate community feedback in the development process of early access games.

This is exactly how EVERY GAME DEVELOPER SHOULD BE!!!

Actually, this game is very different from what it was a few months ago. There have been a lot of changes. I myself have been surprised by what has been added. It's an addictive game where you can spend hours and hours completely immersed in the adventure.

Tried it early access, refunded. Saw a few videos, including yours, decided to buy it again. Worth every cent. Amazing! Thank you for your input and honesty. Liked and subbed.

Great vid! Really interesting insight into development

Would really love some animal husbandry or pets added to the game but I am excited for full release and co-op play. Thanks for covering this.

There are already pets

Giving and receiving criticism has become a forgotten art these days and it seems to get especially bad in the gaming community at times with bad behavior on both sides. If you make a game for yourself and by yourself, I agree you can make it however you want, but once you introduce patronage from others you lose some of the right to tell others to pound sand if you don't like the critiques they make, while at the same time I don't think a developer should be completely beholden to the players that back the game either. Keeping everything civil can be a balancing act and we all could probably do better at it. It's nice to see a developer responding to critiques in such a mature way, it's a lesson we can all learn. Also the game looks like it's shaping up to be quite good and I will keep it in mind for this year.

There video about the update is what made me get there game. It was so refreshing to see a dev that talks to there community like we are apart of there team. As a player with out us there is no game just a bit of code that will be lost to time.
