Month 6 of Landlord’s Super Early Access.
With the Lout update out for nearly a month now, you’re probably beginning to wonder, what’s next? Well, let us go through what we’ve been working on this month. Hopefully it’ll help paint a better picture for you…
The Quintessential Construction Simulator
WALLPAPER & PAINT
The world will soon be your canvas, or at least, the parts of the world that have plasterboard on them will. Wielding a variety of paint brushes and rollers, you’ll soon be able to paint or draw upon any secured plasterboard in-game. Draw anything you can imagine! Paint epic scenes or apply a minimalist approach. If you’re anything like me you’ll shriek in horror when looking upon your creations. Cower not, you can just cover your work up with a variety of wallpaper designs.
NEW PLASTERBOARD
With the added ability to paint onto and apply wallpaper to secured plasterboard, we soon came to find that visible seams became an annoying occurrence. This was due to the fiddly nature of applying plasterboard (an issue many of you have raised before), and it being very hard to line up plasterboard “flush” to one another. To solve this, plasterboard will now snap into the “flush” position automatically. This means that you’ll never have any unsightly seams, and much of the frustrations of placing plasterboard have now gone.
Another way we’ve improved plasterboard is to group all plasterboard sizes into a single order. This means that there’s only 1 plasterboard order in the catalogue now. You’ll no longer have to worry about matching sizes with the correct number, as the single plasterboard order will automatically resize to fit. The game will handle the annoying work for you.
We’ve also given the player the ability to cut off any nails with the circular saw, so you can make your walls look really pristine.
REPAIRING FOUNDATIONS
Included in the next update, you’ll be able to repair foundations directly with either the shovel, the all new storage buckets, or the cement mixers.
STORAGE BUCKETS
A big request in the Discord Suggestions room was the ability to store and keep various cement mixtures. We’ve taken this suggestion onboard and are adding storage buckets. With storage buckets, you’ll be able to pour up to 250 litre of concrete, no-fines or mortar into a resealable bucket to be stored away for when you need it.
You’ll also be able to use these buckets to mix paint colours. Enabling you to create a specific colour for painting onto plasterboards, or if you’re really inquisitive, mixing into a no-fines mixture…
COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHT
We were both so blown away by Mar’s contributions this month that we thought we’d dedicate the community highlight spot to her work. Her paintings capture the spirit of the game so well that we’ve started drawing inspiration from them. I mean, can you imagine a better haircut than the one she’s pictured on H. Abiff here?
She’s also available for commissions, right now!
