Hello Rulers,
We have some news we want to share with you for Lakeburg Legacies.
First of all, we want to thank you for the many players who got the game! Also, you've been giving us many and great feedback, and we definitely hear you.
We understand that some of you were disappointed with the crashes and the presence of a time limit among other feedback. We want to say we're very sorry for your troubles, and we're working hard to make sure that you get the best experience our players deserve.
This is why we have an update about the future of Lakeburg Legacies.
A patch... today!
The most urgent issue that we want to take care of is the crash that some players experienced when launching the game. We've released a patch that should alleviate the issue.
For full transparency: those crashes are nearly impossible to reproduce on our end. This means that we're not 100% sure that it will fix all the crashes. So, please let us know if you keep having them, and we will keep working until they disappear :)
We've also worked on some balancing, including:

Stats generation have been balanced to make the game easier
Meetings are now less likely to result in adultery or romance

Full patchnotes can be read here
For any technical issue, please read this post in the forums.
Endless mode: a first version
One of the most frequent requests that you've been giving us is the addition of an Endless Mode.
Endless Mode was actually something we were planning to add to Lakeburg Legacies in post release, but we still needed time to make it work perfectly.
However, we've decided to add a first test version of that mode for you to try starting today.
This is the first version of an Endless Mode for Lakeburg Legacies. This means that it's not fully stable yet, and will most certainly need some improvements to be fully functionnal and fun.
That's why we're adding this mode in an experimental branch on Steam. This way, you can keep your save "safe" on the main branch of the game and still have fun with this first version of the Endless Mode on the experimental branch.
How to access this branch?
To access the Open Beta, you need to change the branch on Steam but before you make the change, we VERY STRONGLY advise you to put your saves somewhere safe!
So, before you do anything, you should get your save folders %Appdata%/../LocalLow/Ishtar Games/Lakeburg Legacies/Save and copy them on your desktop if you want!
Now, you can change branch and try the Open Beta:

Go to your game library on Steam
Right click on Lakeburg Legacies
Click on “Properties”
Go to the “BETAS” tab
Select “experimental_branch"

To access this mode, just change the difficulty of the game and you will find the "Endless Mode".

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: in this short amount of time, we literally just removed the time limit without changing anything to gameplay, so don’t be expecting something fully functional! We see it as a good way to start a discussion with you to see what would this endless mode need the most and if there are performance issues (there will! if the village gets too big, expect crashes!)
So it’s very important that you give us your feedback and opinions on it:

in the comments or in the Steam forums
on our Discord server

We like this idea of finishing designing this game mode with your help, it’s something we liked to do in our previous games.
The trader tab
We've noticed that some players missed the "Trader" in the Recruitment tab. (Yes, we know, it’s really TOO DISCREET! We’ll do something about it…), especially demo players because they were used to the trader event which automatically triggered from time to time.
It’s basically the same mechanic, but now it’s in a dedicated menu instead of an event.
Because of that, some players were low on gold for a long time in the early game, which in turn makes their runs sluggish and boring… You’ll want to get gold asap to be able to upgrade some buildings and get critical resources quicker, or else you’ll bore to death until the end of the game.
You can find the trader here:



Coming next…
The whole team is hard at work to make a few quick hotfix in the coming days to resolve the most annoying issues, but we also started a big list of things we want to enhance considering your feedbacks, some are quality of life features that could be implemented rather quickly, some are much bigger in scope and will take a bit of time to be ready to play, but yes our goal is to get the game in the best shape it can get.
So from the whole Ishtar Games team, we want to thank you all for your support and feedbacks, the journey is still long ahead <3
