Hi players, it’s me, the lead developer of LEZ. As some of you already noticed, the 0.19.0 update is taking a lot than expected, some of you asked me why it’s taking a lot, and I’m gonna explain everything here, what changes will be made and what new stuff will be added.

I’ll start with what is taking most of the time during the development of this update: ”The new game servers”.

For the new update, we want to improve a lot the game to bring a much better experience for every player, for that we started making new servers with a new WebAPI for the game, so we will be able to get a better data management and a better control of the stats, plus we can get a better management for the player support, we really care of giving fun to everybody, and we really want to make everything to make everything very enjoyable and fun.

As some of you noticed about this already, we made a new website for developers for people who want to use our WebAPI to get data about the game and some users at developer.daztraxstudios.com.

Another of the main sides that is taking a lot of time is the code of the game and the management of the project of the game.

A lot of time has passed during the development, and we noticed that all the code is… unorganized, that means that there’s unused code and also code that has a poor management in the game, so we need to clean and rewrite the code (not writing everything from scratch), and also there’s some tools from the game engine we use (Unity) that are in the game's project and we never use, and that could take some of the performance that the game can get. We also have planned on making new assemblies for our own tools made for the game with the used game engine and get a better management for the development. Here’s a screenshot of some assemblies we made for the game in its files that will be included in the game:

We said we want to give a much better experience for the next update (0.19.0) and when we say that, we take that very seriously, we are implementing new features to make a better experience for the players, for example, we are adding a new account level system, a new anti-cheat to get more fair results in the leaderboards, more licenses for use more songs for the game, and also new stuff that we will reveal soon.

Also, we really have in our minds about saving and loading your data in the game, and also taking care of them, for that we are already implementing new features to save, load, and also recover your data of the game for your account, for this we also want to announce our new dedicated account system linked automatically to your Steam account.

For all the changes coming soon, we will also be updating our game's privacy policy and terms of use to keep players up to date with the game usage and the data we will actually collect to provide a great and unique experience.

There’s also other reasons of why this update takes a lot of time than expected, but those reasons are not related with the game but it’s related to Daztrax Studios too, such as the record label and other related stuff. We really appreciate your patience for this update since we work really hard to bring to you a video game with a good quality and with an enjoyable experience with a lot of fun.
