Lost But Found news & patch notes

Yes. There is a cafe. Yes. You can buy coffee. And yes, it affects your run. With this update, you can visit the cafe during your day and purchase coffee and other beverages. Each drink comes with a unique gameplay effect. Some help you work faster (caffeine does its thing), while others slow things down to help manage patience and pacing. This update also adds 20 new lost items to spice up your runs, along with new functional items available in stores. Update Note We initially planned to release this before the Arcade Update, but decided to prioritize Arcade first to allow extra testing and avoid breaking existing runs. The Cafe Update is now ready and live. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45187869/f217917b5958f30941937336fdb44801896b2775.png

Oh, Wait!

Before you go back to office, we are making a new game! Don't forget to wishlist our new game Recycling Shift, where you play as a sorting officer in a recycling facility 😊 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3899920/Recycling_Shift/

Hey Officers! Lost But Found started as a Game Jam game, and our devs working on this game were inexperienced, so some of the systems were too complicated for us to reference these following bugs. Now, one of our senior devs has rewritten some of the aspects and routines of the game. 🪲 Table Upgrade Bug We fixed an issue where sometimes the table upgrade is not saved or not retained for the following day. We rewrote the system for this. 🐞 Called Passengers Asking for Wrong Item Bug We fixed this issue, by rewriting this system. 🐛 QR Code Reader Issue We have disabled this item in a previous patch because of its buggy nature, we rewrote the system for this to make sure its all working as expected. 🐝 Infinite Black Market Glitch There was an issue where players were able to sell a black market item multiple times to make money :) We patched this one. Thank you for hanging in there, me and my team tested these new fixes, but we will be on the lookout for any recurring bugs. Feel free to use our Steam Community Forums to help us reference more bugs. Again, a sincere apology here for my previous lead dev, it's the nature of software development. I know it's a bit late, but we will make sure the game has zero bugs with the upcoming updates. Cheers! --- If you enjoyed Lost But Found, please consider writing us a review on Steam, as this helps us immensely on reaching new players, share your thoughts and ideas, we value your reviews a lot, and shape the game depending on it. ❤️

Hey Officers! We are back with a free content update: Arcade Update!

Arcade Building in Map

This update adds a new building to the map, which features a pachinko game that you can pay money to play, and maybe profit? Well, it's based on your luck, mostly. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45187869/4de68c21231d4ec9e69a48f763dcf04614c64174.png

20 New Items

This update also adds 20 new lost items, that you can return to your customers - or steal? We expect variations of new items will make for a more colorful run! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45187869/635fb35b95594950b40afc76dd71dffed5fa80a4.png

Bug fixes & QoL

We added a few new QoL features and fixed some bugs. Now, in the map, you can visit a shop or building multiple times. All items now have better and more performant colliders. Additionally we balanced the cost of items for the Black Market. Overall, we expect this update will be more comfortable to play in different difficulty modes.

Upcoming Update: Cafe Update

We decided to prioritize Arcade Update before the Cafe Update, as it needs more testing to make sure it doesn't break the runs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45187869/b000fee4c31d1cc55368245cd9456888bfb54bb9.png Yes, there will be a cafe where you can go and buy coffee, and other beverages. These drinks will have special effects for your run, make you work faster (caffeine right) or slow down patience bar etc. --- If you enjoyed Lost But Found, please consider writing us a review on Steam, as this helps us immensely on reaching new players, share your thoughts and ideas, we value your reviews a lot, and shape the game depending on it. ❤️

Hey Officers! We have had some feedbacks about low end laptops/PC's (even some beefy ones) having issues with a lot of items in the table causing lag, or heating up their laptop. When we invesitaged the issue, we figured the colliders and Unity physics computation was causing this. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45187869/b04dd753df4f0ad15c20b4e9775e710dd0c5b289.png We fixed up all colliders of in game items manually with a better collider, and depending on our tests with low end devices, this issues should be all fixed. Let us know if you are having any performans related issues.

Upcoming Free Update: Cafe Update!

To give you a sneak peak from our upcoming free content update (you don't need to install any DLCs) which will be released on June 7th; {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45187869/b000fee4c31d1cc55368245cd9456888bfb54bb9.png Yes, there will be a cafe where you can go and buy coffee.
