It’s that time of year, snow is falling and Wobbly Island is looking festive. We’re huddled inside in the warmth still working hard on v1.0 and are so excited for you to see it next year! But in the meantime this update brings a few festive treats for you to enjoy, including a revamped Temple, more NPCs, more performance updates, more secrets and something special in the city for you all to enjoy. We hope you all enjoy it, happy holidays! ** ##### Movie Magic ** Have you ever seen a movie poster in Wobbly Life and wished that it was real? Well your wish has now come true! The cinema in the city has had a revamp with a new selection of movies for you to watch. There’s action, adventure, romance and comedy on offer. So grab some popcorn, take a seat and enjoy a whole new world of Wobbly cinema! ** ##### Temple ** The jungle temple was one of the first major levels we added to the game. And we thought it was time it had some love. So the whole level has had a complete makeover with new art, effects and sounds. So if you’re in a mood for adventure it’s definitely worth a visit! You never know what secrets you could uncover… ** ##### Snow Snow Snow ** The elves and snowman are back bringing festive cheer to Wobbly Island. So if you haven’t got their outfits yet, now is your chance. And even if you have, why not knock down a few snowmen anyway because hey, it’s fun! ** ##### Sandbox Racetrack Map ** Fancy yourself a racing driver? Well now here’s your chance to prove yourself. Take a visit to the Wobbly Racetrack in our new Sandbox map. Unleash chaos on the racetrack with the new Formula Wobbly car or mix it up with any vehicle you like! ** ##### NPC Updates ** We’ve added dozens of new NPCs to Wobbly Island breathing more life into the world. Lots of them have fun new animations and dialog. So if you drive past them on your travels why not see what they’re up to. ** ##### Improved Performance ** There are lots of performance improvements in this update, especially for the jungle areas. We’ve streamlined a lot of the backend systems for rendering and animation which should help performance especially on lower end machines. ** ##### Other Improvements ** We’ve also made lots of other small improvements to the game. Grass has had some rendering improvements so that it no longer uses a 2D billboard. Snow now leaves small splodges on the ground. Also minimap icons that are near you will now fade when you are too far above or below their location. There are also new video options for contrast and brightness. ** ##### Patch Notes ** As you Wobblies know, it is very important for our team to make sure we keep improving the quality of the Wobbly experience for you.
