Important Update: Release Date Change and Sneak Peak

[h3]Hey, everyone![/h3]

I wanted to share an important update about the game's release. After much consideration, I've decided to postpone the launch beyond September. This extra time will allow me to enhance the game further and ensure it delivers the exceptional experience you deserve.

Over the past four years, I've poured my heart into creating something truly special—an experience unlike anything you've played before. I'm incredibly excited about the features and levels we're finalizing, and I can't wait for you to explore them.

In the meantime, if you haven't tried it yet, please check out the updated demo that's available now! It features a completely revamped animal shelter and other exciting enhancements. Your feedback is invaluable and helps make the final game even better.

While I don't have a new release date to announce just yet, please know that I'm working diligently to bring the game to you as soon as it's ready. Your support and patience mean the world to me.

As a token of appreciation, here's a sneak peek at one of the new levels I've been working on!



Thank you for being part of this journey. Stay tuned for more updates, and I look forward to sharing the game with you soon!

World's Worst Handyman Demo V0.21.1b Update

[h3]Hey, everyone![/h3]
Hope you all have been enjoying the new demo! I've been getting some great feedback through the in-game feedback survey and on the official Discord.

If you haven't wishlisted the game yet, you can do so here. It's a small, free way to help our team out a ton! 👇

[h2]V0.21.1b for the Demo is now live. Here are the latest updates:[/h2]

[h3]Bird Eye Toggle Update[/h3]
Previously, you could only toggle the bird eye view when the player was completely stopped. Now, you can toggle the bird eye view while moving! It lasts for a short time if you're on the move but stays active if you stop moving until you either move again or toggle it off. There is a small cooldown if you repeatedly toggle the bird eye view while moving. We hope this small change makes the bird eye view more useful while navigating the map.

[h3]Job Board Photo Selection[/h3]
Before, shaking a Polaroid picture for a level would only reveal the level, requiring you to press again to enter. This felt a bit unnecessary and confusing for some players. Now, once you shake the photo, it reveals the level and automatically selects it, allowing you to jump right in!

[h3]New Pet Photos[/h3]
We've received lots of amazing pet photo submissions on the official Discord. This update includes all of them! Each time you visit the shelter in-game, be sure to check out the pet board to see the new photos. The game randomly selects 10 photos from a big list each time you visit the shelter.

Want to see your pet in the game? Join our official Discord and submit your pet pictures in the pet-pictures channel. Check the FAQ or pinned comment for specific details.



Several other bug fixes have been included as well.

Hope you all enjoy the latest demo! If you have any other feedback or suggestions you can submit them on the discord or leave anonymous feedback here on the short survey.
