About the development

Hello, I'm the person behind Jacob's Islands.

At 16 years old, I started trying to make one of my dreams come true: creating my first video game! My golden art rule  was to do everything by myself. I started the Jacob's Islands project about two years ago, and now, at 20 years old, I'm almost there!

I hope you'll enjoy it when it releases in Early Access.
