Modeled on São Miguel in the Azores — a Portuguese volcanic island in the Atlantic. Players from the islands have messaged to say they recognized their hometown.
Compact island, dense POIs, short rotations. You're never 30 minutes from the next encounter — but you're never safe either.
Every building, spawn, vehicle, and loot tier placed deliberately over three years.
Each update ships after thorough internal testing. No half-finished releases — the build you play has already been broken and fixed.

About the developer
Oli, from Sweden. I make maps, watch too much sci-fi, and go skiing whenever I can. Been building this island for three years — nights and weekends, alongside a day job.
The goal is to do this full time, streaming the build as I go. If you've spent time on the island, supporting on Ko-fi is the most direct way to help make that happen. ko-fi.com/olipollyz
