It's our first community wrap-up of 2025, and it's great to be back! To kickstart February's wrap-up, we have some great news!
Dev Diaries Coming Soon!
We know many of you enjoyed watching the original Dev Diaries of Julian creating Len's Island back in the day. So we thought it's fitting, seeing as we're close to 1.0, that we take you on the journey with us in a new Dev Diary series! The first video will be released on the Len's Island YouTube channel this week. Don't miss it, as we'll be revealing LOADS of 1.0 spoilers!
New Content Alert!
Here's a little sneak peek of something exciting we're bringing to 1.0... Introducing chickens! Any ideas on what their purpose will be? While we're keeping this under wraps for now, we'd love to hear your thoughts on how these chickens could help you on your adventure. In the meantime, here's a first-ever look at Len chasing these new feathery friends:
Tiny Homes Build Challenge
Over on the official Len's Island Discord, we held a Tiny Homes Build Challenge where we asked players to get creative with limited space. We absolutely loved this oceanic homestead, and crowned Shay the worthy winner! We'll be hosting more competitions soon, so watch this space.
Creator Showcase
Your health is sure to take a hit when venturing through the frozen lands, but FightinCowboy has a solution! We loved watching their past stream where they overcame cold damage by placing down campfires to keep warm. We also thought it was funny that they were then able to get ahead in the game by acquiring Tungsten much earlier than they were supposed to!

Multiplayer Playtests Continue
We've been making progress behind the scenes on our upcoming multiplayer mode, and we wouldn't be where we are without our fantastic playtesters! Thanks to everyone who has played and left us feedback, more playtests are on the horizon. If you'd like to participate, make sure to join the official Len's Island Discord for more information!
Incredible Fanart by Myke Van Dyke
Every game developer loves seeing fanart from their players, but we feel particularly lucky to have such a talented community. Imagine if Len's Island were a hotel chain, what would that look like? Well, it'd look something like this fantastic postcard created by Discord member Myke Van Dyke!
Newest Member of the Flow Studio Team
No development team is complete without a furry companion, so we thought we could do with an extra pair of paws! Introducing Tony (also referred to as Rigatoni), Flow Studio's new Office Manager! Tony will be overseeing our day-to-day business, as well as ensuring we hit our quota of belly rubs for the year.

That's all for now, folks! We'll be back very soon with our next Dev Diary, with more exciting news to tell you...
