Greetings, Brothers and Sisters.
I am here to give a small update about our community.
We here at Elastic Games are working hard to bring you the best version of Last Year possible, and we appreciate all the support this community has given us so far.
However, like any other community, there are always some who will seek to actively harm other members. In this case, it manifests as people who use external means and software to cheat and exploit our game, or who behave in toxic manners.
This will not be tolerated, as it is not in the spirit of our game or our community.
As such, we have put in a temporary banning feature in the game with our last patch to deal with the most egregious offenders immediately. They have been banned, based on reports we’ve received from the community with explicit proof.
We are also currently developing more robust features that will allow players to report cheaters and/or toxic players directly in game, and will give us more tools to ban users.
We are also aware that there is currently a bug in The Belltower that can be exploited to complete the level quickly. This will be fixed in the next patch, 1.0.11. However, until then, we ask that you refrain from abusing this bug, and that if you are reported using it, we will ban you for unsportsmanlike behavior.
Last Year is meant to be a game. Games are meant to be fun for everyone playing. Cheating is only fun for cheaters. So stop. Or we’ll stop you.
Thank you for all those who are embodying the spirit of the game in a positive way. We appreciate your support, and will continue to improve the game for players like you.
Sincerely,
Brother Justin
