Day 194 Patch! New perks and more!
New artwork and various graphics have been updated A new perk system! Also, we've doubled the number of perks in the game! Many old perks are also updated. People continuing their old runs with the former perk system saved in may experience some issues (mostly being able to more perks than they should), but it should translate fine. New night events! New sfx New music A new Charity event has been added Various new and updated menus, ui elements, etc. Work buff system added. Gain work specific mini perks while you have a job! (Not all of them are good...), more on this to come!
Constantly giving cash to homeless is now less effective if you keep doing it Early levels unlock a bit faster People give food less often City events now occur more often Winter coat no longer gives rain immunity with certain other item combos (exploit fix) You no longer get fired immediately from jobs, you may get a warning instead Time passes a little more slowly Studying now only awards happiness if you study well Losing your jobs now costs more happiness The rate at which perks are earned has changed There's now a small chance you won't lose an item when going to jail
Fixed Spirits being available in shop before it was unlocked Fixed yet another night event black screen bug! Fixed being able to enter buildings just as the day ends If you lose an item after going to jail, a popup now actually tells you that happened You can no longer use the shelter when drunk Fixed the "Rent book" button appearing when you couldn't actually rent a book Scrap click boxes now take priority over pedestrians, to prevent begging mis-clicks Fixed some cases where the side of the park wasn't spawning Fixed Scrap master not increasing scrap capacity Fixed a case where a pedestrian would offer food and you'd get something else Fixed rain not always reducing happiness Status icons at the top of the UI are now more obvious when they appear

We're finally back with another huge content patch! Sorry this one took a while, it was another case of needing to add a certain amount of things in order for it all to make sense as a whole. We're going back to lots of smaller patches for the near future... Also, while this was meant to be a "story patch", we kinda went and just added a bunch of other stuff. Anyway, let's get on with the patch notes!

If you became homeless... what would you do?
CHANGE is an emotional homeless survival experience set in a randomly generated city with rogue-like elements. Explore, survive, earn perks, find items and more to develop your character and escape to a new life.
20% of Delve Interactive's profits from this game will be donated to charities focused on the issue of homelessness.
Manage your hunger, hygiene, happiness, crime levels, street reputation, study levels and other stats as you try to survive and escape the homeless life. But you can only do so much in one day... what will you do?
Will you spend the day begging, depending on the kindness of others?
Will you find shelter in the night?
Perhaps you're moved out of the area by the police for loitering. Unable to find shelter, you end up on the streets at night, and you meet a dog. Is it a stray? Could it be a friend? All your actions affect your happiness in some way, and it's up to you to manage your stats accordingly. You could turn to drink, but risk addiction. You could hope for a fortunate event, or make some progress towards your survival.
But you will have to choose. It could all be over if a bad event occurs in the dangerous night streets. Especially during winter.
Every run is different, and with each run comes more ways to explore CHANGE.
Our goal with this project is to raise awareness on the issue of homelessness, as well as raise money for it. We have done a ton of research for this project and while our wish is to portray the reality of homelessness, various aspects of sleeping rough have been abstracted for the sake of gameplay. We hope you'll support us during our early access journey as we quickly approach the full release currently planned in January.
