Hey, hey!

We’ve just introduced a new feature to the game: difficulty level customization!

In this new menu, you can customize numerous gameplay parameters and tailor the playing experience to exactly your liking! Not a big fan of avalanches? Turn them off. Annoyed by short building ranges? Expand them! Enjoy the game in a way that works for you :)

Also, a “side effect” of adding this menu is the ability to see what exactly changes based on a difficulty level. If you want to dig deep, you can see all the numbers and modifiers that are affecting your playthroughs.


We’ve also added two new challenges: Peace and Profit and Ultimate Insight, both on two brand new (albeit small) mountains that can also be played on in Creative mode. They will also make an appearance in a different game mode in the future, but it’s too early to talk about that! :)

The Peace and Profit challenge forces you to get the most out of the fertile and rivers-rich mountain called Rivergreen Knoll. In this challenge, you need to achieve a highly positive money balance, but Donations Spots are not available! So, it’s all about exporting what you can.

The Ultimate Insight challenge on the other hand is focused solely on Monks and getting to the high research levels. The mountain for this challenge, The Enclave, offers the perfect spots for building astounding monastery complexes… but not much more. Also, this challenge has a little twist: you have a fixed number of Lowlanders and Artisans at the start and you cannot increase their population - you have to use this workforce in a most efficient way!


And that’s all we’ve got for you this time :) We’re back from vacation and we’re already working on new gameplay features that we’ll be adding to the game soon.

Thanks for all the feedback and support!

Quite OK Team

Hello, hello!

This time we don't have only a new patch, but also something for those of you who still haven't decided if Laysara is a game for you. We did our best to showcase the specificities of our game in this 4-minute clip, so you can make an informed decision if you should give Laysara a try :)

For those familiar with the game: let us know if this is an accurate summary :)


Besides a few minor things, we've implemented probably the most requested mini-feature - an FPS cap. Also, there is a new challenge for you to try!

To be honest, this time the list of changes is quite short, and that's because of two reasons:

1) The months before the EA release, the release itself and the following weeks were pretty hectic for us. We need a moment to cool down, maybe even get some vacation time for the first time in forever. Being indie game devs is fun, but we haven't figured out how to reconcile it with stuff like work-life balance just yet ^^'

2) We've already started working on some more substantial changes, but it will take us some more time to complete them.

Hopefully, that makes sense! That's all we've got for now, but we'll be back soon :)

Cheers!

Hello!

We've just uploaded to Steam our biggest patch to date. The main thing is a slightly reworked "Move" function: it is now accessible from the toolbar, just like Copy or Demolish tools, and comes with its own hotkey (Left Ctrl, possible to rebind), making it to move buildings much easier, especially in bulk.

Full patch notes are available below, but just one more thing: -20% launch discount ends tomorrow, so if you are waiting to buy the game, you may take that into consideration :)

Patch notes:

• A tool for moving buildings was added to the toolbar and got its hotkey
  
• Changed default values of autosave settings (num: 3, frequency: 5 minutes), this change will affect only those who didn't change these settings
  
• Fixed a bug with flickering/invisible status and upgrade icons above buildings
  
• Fixed a bug with invalid indicators of desired satisfaction level, when satisfaction drops in level 4 houses
  
• Fixed a bug making it impossible to scroll down/up the resource list in the Lift Station Base menu
  
• Added an error message when rebinding keys left some actions without keys assigned to them
  
• Added a possibility to assign the same key for an action during the standard game and during Photo Mode
  
• Added sound when demolishing building using button in building's menu
  
• Tweaked positions of shaft cabs

Hotifx 5 (ID 13912) is now live!

Patch notes:

• Fixed a very rare bug with money balance having abstractly low/high values. Turns out, it was a manifestation of an even deeper level problem, which was causing some crashes - so they won't be happening from now on either.
  
• Potential fix for crashes during a loading screen
  
• Fixed a bug with displaying required resource counts in the 4th objective in Demon's Rest (provide scholarship to Monks)

PS: We've already started working on a first patch with some more complicated bug fixes and small quality-of-life improvements (hotkey for moving buildings).

Hotifx 4 (ID 13889) is now live!

Patch notes:

• Fixed a game freeze (and massive RAM consumption) when loading certain games. As a side effect, loading all games got a little faster - well, we'll take it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  
• Removed incorrect minus sign from number of required yaks when building is non-operational
  
• Added some debug info for helping investigation a very rare bug when money balance just randomly jumps to +/- billion or some bizarre number like that

Hotifx 3 (ID 13879) is now live!

Patch notes:

• First balance tweak! Upkeep of Mr. Plow decreased from 50 to 25 (values for Professional difficulty, proportions are kept between all difficulties). When you have to use it, money is enough of a problem already :')
  
• Thanks to debug info added to crash reports in the last patch, we was able to fix a crash related to sending resources to Trading Post / Lift Station Base, which was the most frequent one!
  
• Cosmetic changes in a few English and Polish texts
  
• Added even more debug info to help investigate some rarely occurring crashes (this have a potential to become a reoccurring theme)

Hotifx 2 (ID 13868) is now live!

• Fix in objective text in the German version, where tech text was displayed instead of a proper name of the resource that has to be exported
  
• Fixed for order of camera slots in key bindings menu
  
• Added some more debug info to help investigate some rarely occurring crashes
  
• Cosmetic changes in a few English and Polish texts
