Hey everyone!

Unfortunately, Content Patch #14 needs another two weeks of development. While working on the upcoming UI Scaling I ran into some major technical issues resulted in a lot of work that couldn't be used.

Normally I'd prefer to go into more detail as to what happened, but to put it simply, the work I spent weeks on to implement the new UI Scaling unexpectedly resulted in this outcome:



I realize this image looks like a giant mess, and it is, game development can be a giant mess sometimes. I've tried to be very transparent in things that go right and wrong with the making of Luck be a Landlord, and this is no different. I spent a lot of dev time on something that I thought would work, unfortunately it didn't, so a delay in the release is needed.

While my initial solution for UI Scaling won't be viable, I'll be going back to the drawing board to work on a new solution. I theoretically could crunch extremely hard to get UI Scaling out in initial release date of Content Patch #14. But not only would it drain me immensely, the implementation would be very likely to need numerous bug fixes from rushing it.

Thank you very much for your understanding and patience,

-Dan

Hey everyone!

As mentioned in the Plans for 2022 post, my family and I have moved across the country. Production on Content Patch #14 has resumed, but later than I initially intended due to some complications with moving in (everything is fine now).

For this reason, I have to delay the release of Content Patch #14 by three more weeks. My sincerest apologies for this. I'm so eager to get more substantial updates to you all, but it's going to to take just a bit longer.

Plans for 2022
Hello everyone!

In the interest of transparency, I wanted to share my plans for Luck be a Landlord in 2022 with all of you.

Let's get the disappointing news out of the way first:

Content Patch #14 will not be released until March 18th, 2022. This hurts me in my heart to write. I want nothing more than to work on Luck be a Landlord full-time, but there are a large amount of other responsibilities that will take up the majority of my time over the next few months, the majority of which are caused by my family and I moving across the country.

My sincerest apologies for this, but I assure you no one is more upset by this than me. You have my word that development on the game will resume as soon as it's possible, it just won't be for the next few months.

Over the course of the past year, being able to work on Luck be a Landlord as my full-time job has a been a dream come true. Thank you to everyone who has played the game, I wouldn't be able to do this without your support.

Moving on, I want to go over the last few Content Patches that will be released before Luck be a Landlord leaves Early Access:

THIS IS ALL SUBJECT TO CHANGE:


  1. Content Patch #14 will add UI scaling options
  2. Content Patch #15 will add more modding capabilities (and finish the modding documentation)
  3. Content Patch #16 will add an in-game compendium of all the Symbols and Items
  4. Content Patch #17 will add controller support and other Quality of Life features
  5. v1.0 will add Steam Achievements and Trading Cards
  6. A mobile version of Luck be a Landlord will be released some time in 2022 after v1.0 is released


As always, please let me know your thoughts either in the comments or on the official discord.

Thanks again,

-Dan
