Len's Island has grown and changed alongside its creator, Julian Ball Working on survival crafting game Len's Island has been a transformative experience for creator Julian Ball. Here's how the journey changed him.

Last time I spoke to Julian Ball of @lensisland.bsky.social, it was about going to hospital for game dev-related stress. It was so good to catch up last week, and hear about everything that's made him happier and healthier in the years since.

A promotional graphic for the event. It reads: "Debut Festival, August 7-11". It features Burger Bois keyart, in which Patty holds up a freshly designed burger that looks suspiciously like a Spongebob Krabby Patty, and Fry looking over his shoulder at her as he wields his spatula. They're standing inside their food truck, behind the counter.

After maybe 6 months on that she calmed down. But they were never really friends, they tolerated each other. They had a real territory struggle with rooms in the house.
Since Cleo passed the other year Pickles now has run of the place. We won't introduce another cat, she's living her best life.

We had 2 very different experiences.
When Samirya met Cleo the kitten she was terrified and would run away and hide. Cleo just wanted to play.
When Cleo was the only cat and we introduced Pickles the kitten she was a hissing, spitting, fighting nightmare. We had her on cat-prozac.

I am once again requesting that if you are an indie headed to Pax Aus to exhibit at riding, please send me an email.
I will be creating shorts on the games that are attending and will be giving the shorts to developers so that they can use them on their social media. They will also be appearing on

I'm super keen for it. Loved all the stupid wordplay of the originals, and whilst I was super nervous when I heard about it the trailer was excellent. ๐Ÿคž
