Hello everyone!
It’s finally time to grab your yaks and head to the mountaintops! We’re so happy to finally tell you that Laysara: Summit Kingdom has just launched into Steam Early Access! We decided to pair it with a pretty sweet -20% launch discount - a higher discount won’t happen anytime soon, so, you know… :D
If you want to know what exactly the game offers on EA launch, scroll down to our last post explaining that in detail. You can also enjoy our brand-new trailer!

To celebrate the launch, we partnered up with our friends responsible for Timberborn and The Wandering Village - if you had those on your radar too, you can now buy all three games in a neat bundle (or just buy the ones you don’t have to “complete the collection” with a cheeky extra discount)!

[h2][b]What now?[/b][/h2]
We’re releasing into your hands tons of content never seen before in our demo or other marketing materials, so we’re dying to learn what you think! Please, do let us know, the good and the bad! This is not the end of the journey, we’re excited to work towards expanding and improving Laysara while listening to your feedback :)
Our future plans will be heavily dependent on your feedback, but we of course have a general direction in mind :) Therefore, we’re also sharing the first version of our Roadmap, so you can know right from the start what to expect in the future.

Once again - this is only the first version, we’ll adapt it after hearing from you :) The best place to talk about this and the game in general would be our Discord - everyone’s invited! But if that’s not your thing, don’t worry, we’ll be around in the Steam forums too :)
We also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who participated in our game testing, played the demo and shared their insight about the game so far - it means a ton to us and it truly helped shape Laysara to its current form.

[h2][b]And the most important question…[/b][/h2]
No, there is no way to rotate buildings in game :’) We explained the rationale behind that in one of our previous posts [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1823950/view/6250480881381957196]here[/url], but long story short, each building 3D model is adapted to the angled mountain slopes, so adding a rotation feature would require us to make alternative 3D models for every building :’) As a micro-sized team, we just couldn’t afford it.
Bummer, I know - but on the other hand, it’s kinda fun to rack your brain and come up with optimal town layouts with that extra limitation. I’m 100% the objective person to tell you that, right? ;)

Alrighty, let’s wrap it up! We’re so excited to have taken this big step, and we can’t wait to keep improving the game with all of you :D
Thank you for all of your support so far!
Quite OK Team
