Who makes Vilago?
Vilago is made by Edwin, together with his children Vigo and Livia. They play, give feedback, come up with new ideas and keep a healthily critical eye on what gets built.
That is how Vilago grows, step by step. A new island, new residents, new tools and new tasks. What is new is announced in the island paper.
The island paper (the Kwebbelkrant, in Dutch) is the paper that Kwebbel the gull delivers to your island every day you play.
The animals’ voices are made with AI. Vigo and Livia chose them themselves.
