Dev Blog: Welcome to Chailand!

Are your suitcases packed? Good.

Get in loser, we're going to Chailand.

Chailand is a whole new map for Walk of Life that seeks to go a lot bigger than Calicornia. It features new locations, new game mechanics, new music, and a whole new vibe. Let's get right into it.

As you can see in the screenshot, a couple of locations from Calicornia have been split up. The first two tiers of aparments now have their own location, as well as a new landlady, which means that the grubby old misers are actually triplets, not twins!

Having the apartments located in separate locations, far away from each other, will give players a better feeling of progressing in life as they move from the slums to the fancier parts of town.

Another location that you might notice is missing is the Mall. Each of the stores has been made into a unique building: the Electronics Store, the Furniture Store, the Clothing Store, and the Pet Store. This allows us to give players jobs within each and every one of them (with new job perks!), as well as enlargen the map to better capture the atmosphere of a city.

But isn't traveling in this map going to take too long? Well, say hello to Chailand's public transportation system: The Metro!

There are two Metro stations in Chailand that players may use to travel quickly from one end of the map to the other. These aren't free, however, and you'll have to pick up passes from various locations in order to use the Metro.

Finally, there seems to be another new location on the map, which we'll get into in the next blog. Can you spot it?

We're super thankful for the reviews we have gotten from our community and would really appreciate one if you haven't given us one already - it really helps smaller developers like us!

That's it for now, see you next week!
