Hello, everyone! ːsteamhappyː

The release of the experimental beta build is here!

It has been available since Tuesday on our Discord, but to make the amount of bug report manageable, we’ve decided to make an official announcement only after we fixed some of the most glaring issues.

It has been an ordeal, but we believe the build is mostly ready for rigorous testing.
Bear in mind, not all features have been fully implemented and will be added gradually during the testing period. These include:

Certain decals (e.g. leaves or manhole covers)
Grass and shrubs (trees are in the game but have no colliders)
Weather sound effects
NPC voices and voice lines will be expanded and improved
Some quests are not fully implemented yet.
The pit is awaiting a serious face-lift
Construction interface is temporary
Expanded soundtrack with location appropriate tracks
Gameplay balancing (will be adjusted based on player feedback)

Now, the most important part. How do you get into the beta? You’ll need a password. The password is available on our official Discord server. You’ll find it in the “1.0 Beta Testing” category.

Once you have the password, you’ll have to open Steam, right-click Hobo, select “Properties” and then “Betas”. Put in the password there, click check and then confirm to enter “experimental_unstable” beta. The update will then be downloaded shortly afterwards.

If you find any bugs during the testing phase, please report them preferably on our Discord in the appropriate channels. Thank you!

Now, go play the game!
