Can you believe it?

My younger coworker doesn't know who Gene Hackman is! What an outrage!

Oh, I also guess it's time for Walk of Life's first content update after full release! This one is packed with features, many of which have been on Santa's wishlist for quite some time now! Let's get right into it!

Improved Save/Load System

You've been waiting for this feature for a long time, but as promised, our new and improved save/load system is finally ready! You may now save your game manually and store multiple saved games, for both local and online games!

New Role: The Hacker!

The community voted for it, and now the Hacker has arrived! This no-good cybercriminal can hack into locations to gain advantages, such as increasing their salary, boosting their chances of winning the lottery, or even downloading a car! Be careful not do overdo it, however, as the feds may catch you if your heat becomes too high!

New Global Event: Kaiju Battle!

Clucker's and the Stock Market are duking it out! Choose a side and aid one of these titans to victory by doing quests and hanging up propaganda posters. If your side is victorious, you might just be rewarded (in addition to directly influencing the economy and the Stock Market!)

New Pet: Pig!

As returning favorite from No Time to Relax, the pig is making a return to Walk of Life. This porkball will allow you to eat fast food with a minimal time cost and will improve your sleep action: perfect for anyone pursuing a slacker lifestyle!

Other Changes

Before we get to the complete changelog, please consider shooting us a Steam review if you haven't already. It really helps smaller developers like us!

Now here's the complete changelog!

Changelog v1.1

  • Added a new Role, The Hacker! Hack locations for benefits and try to avoid the Feds.

  • New Save Game System! Games can now be saved every round, in both online and offline games.

  • A new Rejoin-Online-Games-System streamlines the way players rejoin games. Added the ability to drop players too.

  • If you disconnect from a game, we now show a robot head that invites you to rejoin that game when you enter the Online Menus on the Main Menu.

  • New Global Event: Kaiju Battle! Choose which giant monster to side with and help them conquer the town.

  • New Pet: The Pig! Who's a cuddly wuddly piglet?

  • Changed the font used for Thai and fixed glyph problems. This is still a work in progress and we will continue to polish this.

  • The Player Pawn now gives off smoke particles again when moving around on the map.

  • The Senior's Complain action now costs less time.

  • The Arcade's Practice Gaming Skill action now costs less time.

  • Changed how inventory items are sold. We now start by selling the lowest-count stack of that item in your inventory. In the previous behavior you could get stuck with multiple stacks, which was annoying.

  • A few pieces of text were not being localized correctly, fixed that and polished some older translations.

  • The Undecided Voter Achievement was bugged and should now be fixed for everyone.

  • Fixed a bug where the Shopaholic Coupon Card wouldn't hide or show itself correctly.
