Hi everyone,
we have just released a new update!
Until this update the game was running on engine Unity 5.6 which is more than 1 and a half year old. To speed up the development and to use the latest features we decided to upgrade to version 2017.4. This upgrade broke lots of stuff and it wasn't easy to fix it, but it is now done and we can now fully leverage the new features in the engine to improve the game.
As you probably now, we are working heavily on combat and quests. Since the last update we have finished our internal tool for writing conversations and quests. So we are now able to easily write and implement quests to the game. The background story is finished and we are working on individual quests. Regarding combat, we are currently reworking player controls to make everything more smooth. Even though we have done big progress with those features, they are still not available in the current update. However both of them are going to be added in the next update. In the meantime we will be publishing multiple videos of the combat and quest system so stay tuned!
The update which we are releasing is primarily focused on visual improvements and bug fixing. Other features which we are currently working on are not yet ready for the public release.
Graphics
Tube lights were added across the city. Thanks to this the game looks much better and believable during night.
With this update we have been working on improving reflections. There are already multiple buildings across the city with much better looking reflections as you can see in the image below.
We have also improved quality of multiple buildings across the whole map, so the overall visuals are now much better and we will continue to do the same improvements for all models in the upcoming updates.

Hobo: Tough Life Linux [6.2 G]
While most people eagerly awaited the coming of democracy and capitalism, some were unable to adapt to the new socio-economic climate. Soon they found themselves on the streets with nowhere to go.
You are one of those people.
Keep an eye on your needs and other variables, which interact in realistic ways - staying warm, dry, and well-fed are not your only concerns. Poor hygiene and dirty clothes make you smellier, low temperature increases the risk of falling ill, and whatever piece of food comes in must also come out at some point.
How far are you willing to go to survive? Steal, burgle, and consort with criminals of all sorts. If necessary, take what you need by force. However, you are not an action hero. Consider your actions carefully, for the consequences are often severe, and benefits rarely outweigh the risks. Most importantly, keep your wits about you. Even if you are not willing to hurt people for personal gain, others are.
Spend the last few days of autumn wisely – gather supplies, equipment, and materials to help you survive the most difficult of seasons. Weather is unpredictable, but there is one certainty - every day is colder than the last. With a lot of preparation and a bit of luck, you might even see the spring again.
Unlike other survival games, Hobo: Tough Life leans heavily on its story content. Experience dozens of storylines inspired by real-life events and people. Solve quests, meet unique NPCs, gain their trust, make allies and enemies, join various factions, and find your place in the streets of Praslav.
Maybe there is no warm apartment waiting for you at the end of the day, but you do not have to keep sleeping on park benches either. Find a suitable place and get to work. Construct walls and roofs to shield you from the elements. Gather discarded furniture and curios to furnish your hideout and make it truly your own.
Is surviving on your own too difficult? Get the gang together. The game supports online co-op multiplayer for up to 4 players. Play alone, together with your friends, or even with total strangers. Team up, collect resources, build a shanty town, survive the winter.
For over a decade, no one has been able to bring the many factions of the homeless together. The throne of the Homeless King has been sitting empty for far too long. Who will earn enough respect and prove themselves worthy of uniting the homeless? Will you rise to the occasion?
