Oh, great to hear !

Thx for reaching out to them! I was on the fence about this game, but I might toss it in my shopping cart with word of an update on the horizon. Hope they keep their promise. :)

Anyone know if Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair has the latest version on gog?

https://www.gogdb.org/product/1314750105#builds

That news post about the update is for April 14, 2020, but the GOGdb has the latest version upload as April 8, 2020. Anyone who owns the gog version know if we're missing that update and its features?

Saw in the steam forum that the update has already been provided to Gog. Since Gog doesn't generally do much on weekends I wouldn't expect anything until Monday.

Some of them don't like DRM free games.

As the WEF says "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy". Enjoy serfdom

I can select the 8-bit level music and choose between “Not So Impossible Lair” and “Impossible Lair” mentioned as new features in the linked notes on the playtonic page. Looks like the GOG installer (version 28310) includes the latest update.

Ah, good. I wanted to know before I buy it and the first one while they're on sale. Much thanks for the info.
Excellent! Thank you for the update.
No prob, but Crimson-X was probably a bigger help to this than me as I keep forgetting devs have Discord accounts lol.

Since (as you can read in the game subforum) according to the devs they already forwarded the files to GOG it should be a matter of days ... and GOG only right now. I purchased it and decided to not download it until the update has arrived. If it doesn't I surely will refund.
In my experience discord actually is the BEST way to contact devs about missing updates. At least in about 95% or so you will get a reply. Not always th one you like but they won't completely ignore you. Right after that comes facebook, Steam forum, Twitter and their own contact form (in range of success rates ;)).

I love how GOG forums are not included in you list, not even at the end ;P

Unfortunately only a handful of devs/publisher do even read them or are aware about them. There's a reason why most changelogs in th egame forums are posted by community members ;)

So have the GRIP devs actually said anything about why the GOG version was out of date to begin with?

I mean, it's great that they're trying to rectify the problem (though unless I'm mistaken, there's still no word on the missing DLC content, right?). But I'm kinda curious why they released an outdated build in the first place and only reacted when people contacted them directly...

I can only guess of course - but given the fact that the devs were thankful to pointing the issue out to them I'd say we can assume that it was a mistake. Now we still have the question left how such a mistake might have happened.

Well, more often than not you need completely different builds on a DRM-free platform and on Steam. So you need to use some sourcefiles and compile another build ... maybe (again, I am just guessing here) they took the wrong source material to make the new GOG build for whatever reason. Such things might happen.

It would be great to hear from GOG when GOG will actually offer the new build to their customers now. Afaik it is not online yet.

I have contacted support with some of the recent examples of outdated games including trying to refresh GOGs memory that this thread exist and pointing out how uncomfortably large it is atm and the importance of atleast being more transparent and putting effort in to fix it to alleviate fears about buying games here.

I hope i will hear something back, it would be nice if the community could come together and flood the support about this though.

I'm pretty sure you'll hear something like "we will look into it". It's a default response from GOG support, which in most cases means that they are not going to do anything.
