Furniture Update Now Available
We're delighted to announce that access to the Furniture update for Landlord's super is now available. If you have Landlord's Super already purchased and downloaded on Steam, your game will automatically update. If your game does not update, try restarting Steam.
The Furniture Update marks our arrival at Version 0.4, and our biggest single content drop so far. The Furniture update completely replaces all old furniture assets, introduces dozens more pieces, with 100s of variants of styles and colour. Add to that 9 new musical tracks from composer Jeremy Walmsley played on through the in-game cassette player, smoking, environmental overhauls, and new jobs to complete around the world. There has never been a better time to jump back into what we are committed to delivering as the quintessential construction experience.
Overview & full patch notes below:
Note: You may continue to use your old saves!
FURNITURE
All previous furniture has been replaced with higher fidelity models and we've added dozens more non-essential pieces. Each furniture piece now comes in a variety of colour or styles, each has wear and tear simulated. This update means there are now hundreds of options to decorate your home with, and there's still more to come.
NEW JOBS
Residents of Sheffingham need a handyman, do you have the tools to help out? Rebuild Tamsin's wall, Lay Kashmiran's foundation, repair the church roof for Totter. Each will provide a unique reward, or a cash bonus for repeat call-outs...
CASSETTE PLAYER & MUSIC TAPES
9 new tracks, mixed into 3 music tapes, each waiting to be played on your very own in-game cassette player. Complement your working day by jamming it out to either Tamsin's Synth-pop mix, Totter's Ska collection or Kashmiran's post-punk tape. Not a fan of those genres? Find the blank tape and build your very own mix-tape by adding up to 20 tracks to the game files.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!
SMOKING
The residents of Sheffingham can now smell you. This will affect how they perceive and deal with you. So, if after a hard days graft you find yourself struggling to convince Tamsin to pour you a pint of Super, you may want to consider taking up smoking for a short term hygiene solution.
User caution is advised however, smoking is hazardous to your health, particularly in-game lung capacity. Smoke too much and you'll develop an annoying smokers cough, continue to ignore these warning signs and you may cause permanent damage to your health. You have been warned!
And Much More...
Split bricks with the Brick Bolster - a cheap alternative to the Circular Saw. New crouch solution that allows players to stand on their tippy toes. The Job Centre has had a refurb allowing you to skip time in their bathroom. You can open the doors and look inside Jimmy's Reliant Runner Supervan. There's so many changes, fixes and improvements!
