Hello all Wobblies!

Welcome to the v0.7.7 Update!

We’ve got a minor update for you this month, adding 3 new jobs as well as a bunch of fixes and some graphical improvements. We hope you enjoy it!



Put on your hard hat and visit the new construction site in the forest! You can show off your building skills in 3 new jobs. There are a bunch of new vehicles and tools to help you get the job done.

The new building jobs work in 3 stages in a similar way to the farming job. Once you finish one job the same NPC will offer to start the next stage.



Become a heavy machinery expert and use the Recycling Machines to turn bits of rubble into new building materials.





Take on the role of a builder and lay the bricks yourself. Place bags of materials on the walls and use a hammer to build them before the time runs out!





As a Wobbly builder you don’t get everything right the first time. So sometimes buildings need to be demolished. Make use of a variety of new tools and vehicles to knock those walls back down again.





For the PC version of Wobbly Life we have added a backup system, which puts the last 20 saves into a directory in case you delete/corrupt the save file.

The backups are located here (replace USERNAME with your computer user name) -
>> C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\RubberBandGames\Wobbly Life\Save

You should find a folder with a bunch of numbers and _backup, the bunch of numbers is your steam id.



Once you find the folder and want to restore your game, all you need to do is make sure the game is closed, extract the backup you want to restore from its zip file, then copy all the contents inside the backup and put them inside your save folder which will be located here -

>> C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\RubberBandGames\Wobbly Life\Save
(It will be the folder with a bunch of numbers - not the one with _backup)

We hope this helps people who lose their save files. We have made a bunch of adjustments in this update to try to ensure that this doesn’t happen, but without knowing exactly what causes the save issues we have introduced this system as well.

We do plan to go into more detail soon in the Steam discussions about restoring backup saves.

Hello all Wobblies!

Before we talk about the update, we just want to say a massive thank you for all the support. Wobbly Life has almost been out in Early Access for 2 years. We seriously couldn't do this without you guys.

Welcome to the v0.7.6 Update!

This is a pretty ‘Wobbly’ update. We’ve added a new mission involving the Jelly Man, boy does he like jelly! We’ve also updated fishing with a new collection of fish and a Fishing Book to keep track of how many fish you’ve caught. Thank you all for playing, we hope you enjoy the update!





Jelly Man has been seen around Wobbly Island collecting a lot of jelly. He’s also been very secretive about what's down in his basement. See if you can find out what he’s up to!





Each fishing hut now has a Fishing Book. This book lets you keep track of all the fish you’ve caught, their rarity and how much their worth. See if you can catch them all!





Now you can fish up on the mountain! Wrap up warm and head up to the icy lake to catch new fish for the Ice Fishing collection.





The Wobbly’s of Paradise Island need their papers! Head down there and make sure they get them. The paper job graphics have also had a refresh!





Don’t forget we’ve got merch!

We have more stuff coming to the store very soon so keep an eye out for that.

Hello all Wobblies!

Just a quick message to show we are still around.

I would like to apologize for the lack of updates, we've put all our efforts into the next update and we are quite proud of it, we've still got a bit more to go, we hope to release it in the coming months, hopefully sooner.

The reason why it has taken us longer then previous updates is because we've had to redesign some areas of Wobbly Life which will allow us to continue with further development. We've have put a lot of love into the next update and have experimented with new things we are excited for you to see.

We have also extended our Full Release Date once again to before Summer 2023, this is good news because it means more content for you guys! We also have plans for post release content... but more on that another time.

I would also like to thank everyone for playing Wobbly Life, we simply couldn't do it without you.

Stay Wobbly,
RubberBandGames
