Evaluation

One More Island launched on May 16, 2022 and received a steady run of post-launch patches through mid-2023. The one-year anniversary patch (v1.8.0, May 12, 2023) was followed by a statement that the developer intended to shift focus to the next project, One More Airport. The previous assessment treated May 2023 as the end of active development. However, significant new information has arrived since then. On July 29, 2026, the developer announced a substantial new patch (v1.9.0), and on August 14, 2026 that patch shipped. The developer described it as "a huge patch" addressing years of accumulated community feedback, covering major gameplay changes, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes. Crucially, the August 14, 2026 post includes a clear developer statement about the game's future: "I'm not saying it's the last patch, but I will be spending most of my time on the next game, One More Airport." This is an honest acknowledgment that One More Island is not formally concluded — the developer leaves the door open for possible future patches — but it also makes clear that One More Airport is now the primary focus. There are no announced or unreleased DLC, no roadmap, and no specific future content commitments for One More Island. The v1.9.0 patch resolves the years of community feedback the developer had been sitting on, and no further deliverables have been promised. The game is complete as a product. The developer has not announced any further content, and the most recent statement frames any future work as possible but unplanned. The completion date is updated to August 14, 2026, when the final substantial patch shipped.

About this game

The Queen of the Old World calls upon you! As Her Majesty's domain expands, we require a capable administrator to guide Her latest colonies to prosperity. We will provide you with ships, colonists, and other tools necessary to tame these wild, virgin lands, and turn them into a prosperous colonial enterprise, all under the Queen's watchful eye.

Naturally, the Crown will expect you to share the bounty of these new lands, pay your taxes on time, and continue expanding the boundaries of Her Majesty’s colonial possessions. Obedience may earn you rewards,but refusing to pay your dues or worse, declaring independence, will have dire consequences.

So, governor. Are you ready to colonize One More Island?

You are called upon to explore the frontiers of Her Majesty’s colonial empire, claim territory, then exploit it to its fullest to gain riches for the throne!

  • Set sail for the New World to plant Her flag and establish a new colony - as well as ensuring it thrives.

  • Each exploration is never the same, thanks to a world map generated dynamically from a combination of hand-crafted map elements.

  • Customize the challenge to your tastes, adjusting island size, land fertility, amount of natural resources and more, to make it as easy or as hard as desired.

As governor, you're in charge. Plan out the colony, take care of your residents, and turn a small outpost into an overseas metropolis bustling with commerce!

  • Construct the buildings you want: The freeform building designer allows fine-tuning workshop placement and colonist’s paths to optimize the holy colony plan.

  • Look after the colonists' needs. Happy colonists work harder and faster, growing your, err, Her Majesty's colonial empire.

  • Harness this legendary colony and these dedicated colonists to create production chains, producing necessary goods on the spot and growing the community.

There's always One More Island to conquer. Explore the world, find new spots to establish more colonies, then tie them together into a self-sufficient network: An empire of your own making.

  • Build a new fleet to explore the archipelago, claim new islands for your domain, then link them together with overseas trade routes.

  • Optimize your production chains and increase their complexity to create entire industries independent of the Old World.

  • Research new ways to develop your fledgling colony into a New World superpower. Each civilization tier brings with it new challenges, new requirements - and new opportunities.

The Queen wants her share of New World's bounty. Taxes are expected, as is ordained. But there's always another option, one that your colonists might look upon favorably.

  • Manage your reputation at the royal court. Pay your taxes on time and meet their expectations or...

  • Do you dare to commit the unthinkable? Do you dare to disobey the monarch?

  • Do you dare try to form a new nation, breaking free of Old World tyranny?

Well? Where do you stand?
