Log Away News

[p]Log Away was always meant to be something you can slip into for a quiet break, a small escape to your cabin, your keepsakes, and your calmer self. That’s why we’re now focusing on making the game feel right at home on Steam Deck![/p][h3]Steam Deck compatibility[/h3][p]We’ve started dedicated work on Steam Deck compatibility, aiming for an experience that feels natural on a handheld: readable text at 1280×800, smooth performance, and a UI that’s comfortable to navigate from the sofa, bed, or train seat. Our goal is to have a Deck-ready version soon, and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready.[/p][p][/p][h3]Controller support[/h3][p]As part of this work, we’re also adding full controller support. Even if you don’t own a Deck, this means playing Log Away with your favorite controller (Xbox, PlayStation, etc.) will now be possible: from navigating menus to placing items and exploring your retreats.[/p][p][/p][h3]Optimization[/h3][p]Alongside all this, we’re continuing to optimize and polish the game: smoother performance, small quality-of-life touches, and tiny visual and UI tweaks across things like building, furnishing and decorating. None of these changes alter the heart of the experience, they’re meant to make your time in Log Away feel a little more comfortable, a little more effortless.[/p][p][/p][h3]New furnishing and decorating items[/h3][p]Log Away already features over 700 items, with almost 250 of them being interest-based, meaning they unlock only after reaching the Cozy Heart level 100. We're listening to the invaluable feedback you're giving us, and so we've decided to add more furnishing and decorating items to the general categories to give you more options from the start! Just to name a few: bathtubs, showers, saunas, sinks, skincare trays, floor lamps, and more. We will be adding them in batches with updates, and you can expect the first one to drop at the end of this week.[/p][p][/p][h3]Follow[/h3][p]Thank you for playing and for taking the time to slow down with us. We’ll share more details once Steam Deck and controller support are ready to go, so make sure to follow the game to stay updated![/p][p]Until then, we hope your retreats continue to feel cozy, calm, and quietly yours.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
