[ 2025-03-22 14:16:28 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hey everyone, I'm back with another update! This time it's the long awaited cloud saving plus various stability fixes. I'm never giving up on this thing. Hoping to have some big news for you all soon! ^-^ - Danny -
Changes and new stuff
- Cloud saving has now been added!
Balancing
- Reduced difficulty for busking on the subway
- Comic Books give more happiness for new issues, but price is slightly more
Bug fixes and improvements
- Improved how interactables wait for your approach before interacting with them, interactables no longer wait forever and activate when near if you interact with something else. The short story is that it is now easier to cancel clicks.
- Added extra snappiness to various elements while playing with a controller
- Fixed the starving button possibly not working with mouse
- Fixed the mouse cursor possibly still showing while playing on a controller when switching rapidly between mouse and controller
- Fixed a bug that could cause you to not be able to enter buildings without pausing and unpausing, alt tabbing etc
- Fixed Restaurant appearing closed when unable to enter due to low hygiene or being drunk
- Fixed day labour truck following you after declining a pay raise
- Fixed some soft lock bugs that could occur mid-late game
- Fixed jobs not allowing you to work until exiting the menu sometimes
- Fixed dogs hunger showing as 0 temporarily until the first hunger tick right after getting a dog
- Fixed white squares showing in the true ending for addict and mental illness characters
- Improved true ending timing and pace
- Fixed some issues with perk awarding in the late game
- Fixed some icons appearing huge in some popups (bread roll)
- Fixed: When buying newspapers from the paperboy to show the next city event on the same day you get a city event, it would instead show the event you just got instead of the next upcoming one. It now correctly shows the next event.
- Fixed begging in front of other homeless trying to bed taking more reputation than it should
- Some other minor stability fixes

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.
