Hello all Wobblies!
Just want to say a massive thank you for all the support, this is our biggest update yet!
This update is also special as we are coming up to the 1 year anniversary of Wobbly Life entering early access!
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!
Quick note before talking about v0.6.0, we've decided to post pone full release (i.e Exiting Early Access) for another year, mainly because of the support which Wobbly Life has been given, in short, we want to keep making Wobbly Life the best it can be. What does this mean to you Wobblies out there, it means more content!
We have revamped a lot of the core systems in Wobbly Life to give a better quality of life as well as adding a huge amount of new content!
Mountain Doors Are Open
Something strange is happening in the mountain.
Save System
First of all there is a big change to the save system. You are now able to have multiple world saves and character saves.
The world save contains all the progress within your world such as missions and certain statistics, this can be anything from Buying your first house and making Granny proud to doing the tutorial or completing the Intro cutscene, this is all shared across each character.
Each World save also contains 4 character saves within it, this means if you play splitscreen a lot you don’t have to always have a second controller plugged in if you only wanted to play the second character!
The character save slot keeps track of your individual data such as money, clothes, vehicles and houses.
Don't worry your old save will be converted to the new system and there will be a backup created in
Path: %AppData%\\LocalLow\\RubberBandGames\\Wobbly Life\\Save\\STEAMID\\GameSaves\\Backup_OldWardrobe/Clothes Shop
We have also made some big changes to the way wardrobes and clothes shops work!
Clothes shops now each have their own unique clothes catalogue with some items only showing in certain shops.
In addition to this we have revamped the UI of both the Shops and Wardrobe to a much more user friendly design. Icons represent all the clothes available allowing players to easily navigate to what they want.
New Jobs
The island is more lively than ever with lots of new jobs!
Help keep the forest tidy as a lumberjack, crack the code as a scientist or help prevent disaster as a firefighter, you may even find yourself flying a jet.
Check out the WobblyTV Studios and see if you have what it takes to rise to the top in the Wonderful Wobbly Quiz!
There's lots of new stuff to see in this update.
Minimap Icons
Ever wondered whether that wobbly speeding by was delivering a pizza or losing a street race?
Now you can know, while on a job your minimap icon will show others what job it is you are doing.
Vertical Split Screen
The community spoke, we listened. I introduce vertical split screen!
You can now find in the game options menu an option for vertical split screen. Turn this on to play side by side.
Vehicle Design Winners
We recently ran a competition for our community to design their own vehicles!
We were amazed by the creativity and talent within our community.
The winners were recently announced and are now all in the game.
Can you find them all?
