The Island
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"The Island" is a sandbox game where you can create a society and gather and manage your resources by building fields, mills, mines and much more!
Unfortunately, sometimes the bad weather or other populations that will raid your island, will ruin the fields, destroy some buildings and probably make you lose resources and people.
Your goal is to keep the population alive as many days as you can.
If nobody is alive anymore on the island, you will lose and the game will show you how many days your population had survived.
Buildings
- Tent: increases your population
- Field: produces wheat
- Mill: produces food
- Mine: produces iron and gold based on the altitude it's at
- Defence Tower: reduces the risk on raid by other populations
How to play
Once the game starts you will see an island. The first thing to do is chopping the trees to get some wood...don't worry if you chop them all, in some time others will grow.
With the wood you can start placing your first tents and fields. From that point your goal is to survive as long as possible.
Build mills to get food and prevent your population from starving. Build mines to get iron and gold, which you can use to place other structures like towers!
Controls
- Left Mouse to place build a structure

When i want to execute the sh file of the Mac&Linux build, an error appears , saying:
"The Island.sh: 3: /jre/bin/java.exe: not found"
Are you running the .sh file in the same folder as "jre"? The two files must be in the same folder. In case it keeps showing you the error, try opening the "The Island.sh" in a text editor and change the part that says "/jre/bin/java.exe" into "java".
Yes it is in the same folder.
I edited it with a normal Text editor (only the first few lines were readable, rest was crypted, just in case that is important) and changed it, same error but with "java" instead.
