Hello, everyone! ːsteamhappyː It’s been quite a while since our last update post. We apologize for this radio silence, but frankly there’s not been much to update on. Until now… Console Ports Possibly the most frequent question we’ve gotten post release was “Console ports when?” Well, we wanted to be done with the console ports by the end of the year. We now know that we’re not going to make it…
This patch will be lighter on the content, as explained in our Steam posts. Work on multiplayer security features still continues, but it's taking much longer than expected. However, fixes introduced in this patch will hopefully solve some repeatedly reported issues. Apart from fixes, we have also reworked the backend infrastructure for dialogue systems and the item database. It won’t have any…
Hello everyone! ːsteamhappyː We are nearing the end of June and with it the next “June” update. Or are we?

However, we can share that on the next generation consoles, we can already run the ga…

Hello, everyone! ːsteamhappyː The release of the experimental beta build is here! It has been available since Tuesday on our Discord, but to make the amount of bug report manageable, we’ve decided to make an official announcement only after we fixed some of the most glaring issues.

Citizens are not allowed to leave districts for any other than work or family relat…
Hello, everyone! ːsteamhappyː We have some sad news to share. There is no point in beating around the bush – the final release will be delayed by a bit.

There is a silver lining too – we can now give you finalized release date! Hobo: Tough Life will launch in…

Some members of our team had to self-isolate and governmental restrictio…
Hello, everyone! ːsteamhappyː Many of you have been calling for non-English translations and some even offered help with the translation process. Originally, we wanted to first finalize the English translation of the game and then have that translated into various other languages. That process would take long and would not be done before the full release of the game next year. However, with you…

Hi everyone ːsteamhappyː Hope you are doing great! We have been working extremely hard on the next update aka "the narrative update". Even though the update is content wise ready, we have decided to postpone the release date from July to August in order to have more time on bug fixing and polishing.
