Hey there!
While our community manager is away enjoying the sun, I've been drafted to let you all know that version 1.1.3b is now live on our new Public Testing branch (That's right... we've got a public testing branch!).
What's new? Let's look at some bullet points!
Simultaneous turns is a new way to play online games. No longer must you wait and ponder all the terrible decisions you've made in the game so far, now you all make terrible decisions at the same time!
The Kaiju Battle global event was not triggering for users, this was
notour fault and has been fixed.The decorative elements of Chailand have been revamped and moved around. Feng shui increased by 53%.
Score screen polish, runs faster and has more details.
The Mystic Role has been tweaked. The Taurus sign has been made more powerful to increase its value in the early game.
The Senior Role can now complain in Vexcorp and the Arcade.
The Shopaholic Role now gets coupon stamps in the gym too.
The Workaholic Role can now get a rare Mega Combo
The Hacker's Heatmeter was given some visual tweaks.
Map and Game Mode is now visible on games in the Server Browser.
So how do you find this new Public Testing branch? Excellent question, have some numbered points!
Find Walk of Life in the library of your Steam.
Then find and press the little cogwheel button, like this:
Select "Properties..." from the little dropdown menu that appears.
A new popup pops up, in it select "Game Versions & Betas".
Select the "testing" Branch, like this:
Wait while the game updates.
Play!
But keep in mind that the testing branch is a work in progress, and there are a few issues that we know about and are actively working on. This includes stuff like:
Game keeps pawning items for missed rent while no rent is owed.
Arcade score is currently broken.
Complaining as the Senior at Vex Corp is acting up.
Working as a shopaholic removes the coupon card temporarily.
and probably some more...
If you want to add to this list, help us out by reporting the bugs you find on our Steam Discussions or on our Discord! We really appreciate the effort! :heart_hands: Pew! (oh, emojis don't work here)
And hey, if you're like "no way, José, I'm not doing all that!" first, my name's not José, but we totally get you! We'll work out the kinks and hopefully soon we'll push an improved update to the public version of Walk of Life.
Anyway, that's thew news written, now I just have to figure out how to publish it, I think it's in one of these tabs...
