February
Month 33 of Landlord’s Super Early Access.
Implementing controller support made February feel like the longest month in the year. Fortunately, we persevered and managed to get support out on InDev Branch on Steam for beta testing.
There’s an obesity epidemic in Sheffingham, but thankfully we’ve reworked and rebalanced how calories work, along with a bunch of other fixes.
Oh yeah, the game now has achievements.
Read on for more.
Achievements
We’ve added 25 shiny new achievements to the game. Can you roll a jackpot? Retire before 1984? Become obese? Prove it and share with the world how much of a grafter you are. We’ve even themed them on politcal badges from the period the game is set in. Cor, that’s nice.
Also worth noting that Landlord’s Super now supports Steam cloud saves. Noice.
Statistics Tracking/h2] The game now tracks your stats, from cement mixed to calories consumed to steps walked. It’s all viewable from the in-game notepad.
Controller Support
Controller support has entered beta testing, available through the InDev branch on Steam. Please report any issues you have and we’ll work towards getting the changes into the next patch. You can change to InDev through the game properties on Steam, and by selecting the Betas tab.
Xbox and Dual shock support is added. With the way these are implemented, you should be able to setup Steam controller and Steam Deck compatibility. Though we are interested to hear if players on these peripherals have any issues.

What is InDev?
InDev is a separate branch on Steam that gives players access to updates earlier while they are still in development. It’s a great way to try out new features early whilst also helping to make updates release as polished as possible. Whilst InDev contains the majority of the content available in the upcoming Yuppie update, players who opt-in should expect bugs, performance issues and some missing features.
How to Access InDev?
1. Right Click on your Landlord’s Super install in Steam and select “properties”
2. Click the Betas tab and then select InDev In development access
3. The InDev build should start to download on steam!
Note: Steam may require a restart after stage 2 for the InDev to download.
