Development news and CEEGA Nomination
Possibly the most frequent question weve 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 were not going to make it in time for that deadline. Weve been falling behind the schedule slightly for a while now, but we wanted to wait until the end of September to be absolutely sure. After some deliberation, we have decided to set the new deadline for the release of the console ports. This deadline is fairly lenient and should allow for enough QA to be done in order to deliver smooth gameplay experience on all the intended consoles. Console release of Hobo: Tough Life is now planned on the 13th of April 2022 - coincidentally a year after the PC version. That almost calls for a Year One Feature Update for the PC version, right? Which brings us to the next point
The second most frequent question we now get is New content when? Here is a bit of sad news. Unfortunately, there will assuredly be no new content until the release of the console ports. We realize that almost a year-long wait since the PC release is a bit too much to ask, but it is simply not viable for us to add to the project in its current state. We are simultaneously working on the console ports, cross-platform play infrastructure, and new cloud save system. Any changes and/or additions would require a project rollback, implementation, testing, release, and then reroll back to the current work copy. It sounds like a simple process, but a single instance of this could take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks and there is a lot that could go wrong. Simply put, its worth neither the risk, nor the time investment. HOWEVER, that doesnt mean that PC players will be left empty-handed when the console ports release. We want the console versions to be the most feature-complete and polished versions of the game. That will of course serve to improve the PC version as well. There are still a lot of issues, bugs, and features that are on our to-do list. Console optimizations will improve performance on PC across the board as well. The Year One Patch is going to be big, we can promise you that. As for any new content past that, who knows. There have been talks about a DLC and mod support, but nothing specific yet. Truth is, Hobo: Tough Life has been in development for almost 7 years. That is a long time and we would like to avoid burnout, which is already slowly creeping in.
Now, to end on a good note, Hobo: Tough Life has received a nomination in Central & Eastern European Game Awards 2021! Next week, we will wrestle for the title of the Best Narrative with Mafia: Definitive Edition, Cyberpunk 2077, and The Medium in Pozna, Poland. Those are certainly formidable opponents so wish us luck! Part of our team will attend the event and keep you posted live on our social media.
That is going to be all for now, stay safe, and remember to stock up on medkits and lifebringers before the winter comes!

Hobo: Tough Life Linux [6.2 G]
Welcome to Praslav, a cold Central European city that grows even colder with the coming winter. Praslav is recovering from the political turmoil that followed the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Communist regime, which held the country in its iron grip for decades.
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?
