Hello all Wobblies!

Welcome to v0.7.0 Update!

Just want to say a massive thank you for all the support, we understand that it is hard waiting for the updates, but we hope that this update is worth the wait.

Thank you so much to everyone who has continued to support us so far, we hope you will join us for the rest of our journey!



New Islands!

Take a visit to Paradise Island! Relax with a cold ice cream on the beach, play some golf or go see the wonders of the universe at the observatory.

Or live your Wobbly Life in style in one of the 4 new mansions on the new Mansion Island. These fancy pads have brand new gadgets and some even have their own helipads!

There’s lots of new places to explore, secrets to find and things to unlock!





Go get a job at Ice Cream World, make some awesome ice cream sundaes. But just make sure you don’t drop the ice cream on the floor!





Know the streets of Wobbly Island like the back of your hand? Why not put that knowledge to the test and drive some Wobbly’s around!

You can start a Taxi job from Paradise Island, the Village and the City. Or just jump in any taxi and press the ‘start job’ button prompt!





Sometimes Wobbly’s need rescuing from places that an ambulance just can’t get to. Now you can join the Wobbly Air Rescue service and air lift them to safety!





After a hard day's work why not go and chill out at the Wobbly Golf Club. Take in the beautiful scenery and hit some golf balls around!





While exploring Paradise Island keep an eye out for new artifacts for the Museum.





Take a visit to Magic Motors, the new vehicle shop on Paradise Island. They deal exclusively in fancy vehicles, so make sure you bring your wallet with you!





We have added a new option called Physics Precision, this setting controls how much time is spent calculating Physics on the CPU. We’ve been experimenting between two tick rates but both have their merits and downsides. So we have put out this setting to allow you guys to pick which mode you prefer for your computer spec. The default is High.

Note: The user who hosts the game will have the physics priority.

[h2]High[/h2]

This sets the physics rate to 60 physics ticks per second.

[h3]Advantage[/h3]

• Helps prevents objects going inside each other
  
• Improves the latency of the network (As our network syncing is fixed to our physics tick)
  

[h3]Disadvantages[/h3]

• More demanding on the CPU
  

[h2]Low[/h2]

This sets the physics rate to 45 physics ticks per second.

[h3]Advantage[/h3]

• Better CPU performance
  

[h3]Disadvantages[/h3]

• Objects have the potential chance to go through each other
  
• More weird physics issues
  
• More network latency

Hello all Wobblies!

Welcome to v0.6.5 The Treasure Hunt Update!

Dig up some treasure or help uncover Wobbly Islands lost history by filling in exhibitions at the Museum, there’s lots to find buried around the Island!





If you look carefully around the island you will find 3 different locations with treasure hunting fanatics who can sell you a treasure map.

There are 3 different difficulties of treasure hunts; Easy, Medium and Hard. The harder the hunt the better chance of rewards.



Once you buy a map you will notice a red circle on the main map,



(Press M to open the map or Up on the D-Pad on controller) Take a metal detector and explore the area within the red circle.



While holding a metal detector it will beep when you are close to buried treasure and speed up the closer you are. When you find where it’s buried press 2 (Left on D-Pad on controller) to dig it up. You might find some treasure. Take any coins, ingots and goblets back to the treasure shops to cash them in.
There is also a chance you could dig up an artifact!



A new addition to Wobbly Island is the Museum! You can find it on the edge of the city next to the power plant.

The Museum has lots of relics from wobbly history, have a look around and learn about the rich past of Wobbly Island. However some collections are missing, you can help fill in the Museums missing collections by bringing any artifacts you may find on your treasure hunting travels.

You can identify an artifact by its distinctive yellow glow. Bring enough artifacts to the Museum and you might get a reward.



There are also some treasure spots dotted around the island outside of the treasure maps, so buy a metal detector from a treasure shop and get searching!

Note: The Museum isn’t finished, we plan to add more collections as we go towards full release
