Hey all, it's been a while, I hope you're well! We have been preparing a fun update for December, and thought it best to put out a patch now to fix some bugs and make some meaningful changes to the camera system. I'm still open to making further changes to the camera if needed, but I think we have nailed it now. ~ Julian~ Camera Changes:Inverted the default camera tilt, as it was the opposite of what most people are used to (you can still invert it back in the game settings)Added smooth-scrolling to camera zoom so it's not bound by only 3 zoom levelsChanged the smoothing settings and sensitivity levels for the cameraAdded new sliders in settings to adjust camera sensitivity and zoom sensitivityThe camera now adjusts when you tilt to look at the horizon, making it easier to see into the distance while moving around.Slightly altered the FOV of the camera ~ Bug Fixes and Changes:Fixed inte…

- Patch 1.0.12 - 8 July 2025
Hey all, so sorry this happened but a bug slipped thru the last build which caused load issues. These load issues would roll back town levels and crops most notably, and sometimes some other stuff too. This has been fixed and will no longer happen, but if you loaded the game over the past 12 hours and got some rollbacks, all we can do is manually fix them ourselves. If you lost any progress from this bug, please submit a bug report and share your save files and email https://noteforms.com/forms/lens-island-bug-report-form?notionforms=1. In the report, tell us what you're missing and how you would like it returned. I will then manually add back in any lost town levels, or crop resources, etc, and send back your save file to your email.Sorry again, hopefully it's the last time we ever have a bad bug like this. We will do whatever we can to help anyone affected and continue your progress.…

- Patch 1.0.10 - 4 July 2025
More bug fixes and some new quests for you all. It slipped under our radar that the Act V quests we made had an issue and were not in the game at all. You now have proper quest tracking right up until the end of the game, and for all cursed dungeons too. ~ Julian + New Additions:Added new Act V quests and new cursed dungeon quests.~ Balancing Changes:Harvest Moons will now spawn more enemies due to a bug being fixed that altered their spawning to be lower. More info below. This does not affect the enemies spawned at resource outposts, only the ones spawned on islands/around your home. ! Bugs fixed and changes made:Fixed enemy spawning bug that was making Harvest Moon's spawn too few enemies. This was especially noticeable for people with houses near the water or on small islands.Various enemy behaviour changes to make fleeing better and improve navigation on player-built structures.Fixe…
