Holiday Dev Blog: What's next?

Dec 23

Hohoho!

Consider this your holiday card from Porcelain Fortress before we stuff ourselves full of the seasonal foodstuff that makes this time of year so very merry. We're taking a little break over the holidays, but here's a quick peek at what you can expect in the fast approaching updates.

Longer Games

Walk of Life's most requested feature by far is the option of longer games, oftentimes by players who like to play the game by themselves and find it frustrating when their journey through life is cut off short. We hear you guys loud and clear, and are planning on allowing for 50 round games in the coming update.

We're also looking at the possibility of adding a marathon mode where the game's end is determined by factors other than rounds, but you'll have to wait a bit longer for that. Let us know in the comments if you have any expectations to what a mode like that could look like.

PVP

Many players have been disappointed with the lack of direct player interaction in the game, and we are working on implementing a system where you can start messing the plans of other players in a more direct way.

This game mode will of course be optional, so those of you that prefer a peaceful coexistence with your fellow players needn't worry. The PVP system will be released in chunks, but the first few weapons in your armory should be arriving shortly.

Bot Difficulty Settings

When the game launched, our bots were pretty dumb, and would often get stuck in a loop where they spent entire rounds just washing their hands. We corrected this behavior by putting them through robot school, where they passed with flying colors, and may have become a bit too smart, especially for newer players.

We'll be adding difficulty settings to the bot players soon so you can tune it to how hard you'd like to stomp, or be stomped by (if that's your thing - we're not juding.), our bots. The option of adding multiple bots and bots for online is also in the works, but is a bit further off. Stay tuned!

New Roles

We've been pleasantly surprised with how well the four roles in the games have landed so far. While perfect balance is very hard to attain in a game with as many variables as Walk of Life, every role is performing quite well.

There are several roles on the drawing board, but we don't want to release any of them until we think they're up to par with the ones in the game right now. A new role will be hitting the game in the next update: the Drifter. More on this mysterious stranger soon!

Just More in General

This is a pretty broad category, but we're working on more of pretty much everything. More life events, more global events, more quests, more items - you name it! We want this game to be absolutely packed with silly stuff to make your games memorable, and the next batch of content will be hitting the game with the next update.

We've already said too much. Go enjoy your holidays, we'll be back with more intel in January!

Like the idea just ai to dumb

I like the idea of the game but after getting the gist of the game the ai is to stupid to be able to keep up with the player. I just finished a 20 round game and the ai by turn 10 couldn't afford rent, was stressed never slept to relieve his stress and pretty much just spammed wash hands and did nothing else....

The Old School Update

Dec 5

Ahoy!

We're back with another content update! There are plenty of new things to keep an eye out with the new patch, but here are a few highlights!

Before we get started: we'll be taking down the demo today. We feel it has served its purpose and the gap between the game and the demo has gotten too big with newer versions for it to be an honest taste of the game.

Now onto the new stuff!

New Role - The Senior

The Senior may be a bit past the prime of their life, but this old slugger still has a couple of tricks up their sleeves. What the Senior lacks in movement speed and work efficiency, they make up for with pension checks that arrive every couple of rounds! Try the unique Complain action in various locations to make the most of the Senior's grumpy old energy!

Education System Revamp

The education system was feeling a little lackluster, so we've added a new mechanic to spice things up. Upon finishing a tier of education, you'll receive a diploma which you can use to choose between one of two unique traits. These traits have various effects, ranging from increased movement speed to reducing the attribute loss from eating at Clucker's. If you don't feel like selecting either of the traits offered, you can always pawn the diploma, but keep in mind that other players could buy it themselves!

New Global Event - Economic Crash

When the economic crash global event begins, several effects take place. First, every player loses their job. Secondly, the job office will only offer jobs from tiers 1 and 2. Thirdly, the prices of everything at the Mall and Clucker's will go up and stocks will plummet. Finally, a soup kitchen will be available in the Park to offer players in need free food, but keep in mind that the queue is quite long!

New Job Perks

Some of the workplaces that were missing a perk have received one. Working at Moo Moo Mart will allow you to nab one free lottery ticket per round, the Mall has a lost and found box you can rummage through, and the Academy has a complimentary coffee for the staff. Try out the new perks and discover new strategies! Lost and found meta incoming?

New Score Screen

Finally, the score screen has received an overhaul and is now presented in the style of a game show! Say hello to your new, omnipotent late-night host!

There's a bunch of other changes which you can find in the notes below! Now get out there and have some fun!

PATCH NOTES

New Role: The Senior! Collect your pension, yell at clouds and complain about the taste of the water at Cluckers.
Role Update: Adventurer! Level up to get new Traits.
New Global Event: Economic Crash. We're gonna party like it's late 2008.
New Education System. Completing a course line allows you to now choose a new Trait to boost your play.
New Job Traits. Getting a job at the Academy, Moo Moo Mart or the Mall now rewards you with sweet traits, making those locations extra enticing to work at.
New Score Screen! I'm not going to lie, it looks pretty awesome.
Bot update: Bot now interacts with Pets, Global Events, Transports
Added thematic decorations to the Location UI.
We now show a nice visual when you get a new Trait.
Game now remembers your avatar choices from previous games.
Reduced clutter of Location UI.
Updated localization for all languages.
Fixed a bug with the clock not syncing correctly sometimes when rejoining an online game.
Fixed a bug where the first time you entered a location, if you were unemployed and the game was not in 16:9 aspect ratio or in windowed mode you could trigger a bug by hovering over the edge of the screen, over the clock.
Fixed a bug where you could join an empty online game shortly after the owner left the lobby. This would cause all sorts of problems if you then tried to play that game.
Fixed a bug where the game could freeze in online after the event cards.
Now correctly syncing location panel scroll view state in online games.
Score for quests reduced
Higher tiers of education require furniture
Flash sale discount increased

Early Access Review

I don't have a lot of time in the game yet. My friend is in from out of town and I was looking for a goofy easy game we could play local so I got this. So far, this is super fun. We played 3 of the 10 round games and a 20 round game. Looking forward to future updates.
