OverLKD Studio

A bigger start to your goldfields adventure

The Windows demo has received a substantial update ahead of Steam Next Fest. Thank you to everyone who has played and shared feedback!

  • Continue beyond the guided introduction: choose a claim, move your equipment and start your first independent shift.
  • Clearer claim maps, boundaries, navigation and payment information.
  • A new animated Outback main menu, a compact HUD and cleaner quest instructions.
  • Illustrated fieldbook pages explain the small wash plant, water and power connections, wash inserts and caravan towing. Open your fieldbook with J.
  • Nearby water and diesel gauges help you spot empty equipment.
  • Improved pickup ramps, tailgate, cargo cover and parked stability, including fixes for unloading and cargo retention.
  • Easier generator transport, separated engine and cable controls, and smoother generator handling.
  • Refined portable-item physics, hose and cable presentation, survival feedback and night-time usability.
  • Interface support and language selection for all 31 supported Steam platform languages.
  • Numerous fixes to tutorial progress, interactions, readability and first-use performance.

Your existing saves remain supported. This update is for the Windows demo; macOS work follows separately.

Enjoy the goldfields, and keep the feedback coming! — OVERLKD Studio
