Update 1.40: Your feedback is in
Thank you to everyone who played the demo during Next Fest and wrote to us on Discord. Much of this update comes straight from your feedback. It is in the demo right now and in the full game from launch.
New
- Decoration and building pack with 23 pieces: log houses and sandstone walls, new floors, hedges, a fridge, sofa, fireplace, bookshelf, garden bench, well and more
- Cooking with eggs: Fried Egg, Herb Omelette, Pancakes and Apple Pie. Eggs still hatch into chicks
- Frogs now buy from you too and pay in gems
A gentler start
- The Wheel of Fate goes easy on your first three days, and a hard day is always followed by a gentle one
- Dynamite Rain is much weaker, but it still hits your farmstead. Get there quickly and defuse the sticks
- Dungeons hold fewer beetles during the first eight days, and dying there costs you less
- No swarm attacks during the first two nights
- Portals no longer open under trees or in the middle of your farmstead, and the game asks before you step in
- Gems are rarer, so they are worth something again
Prettier and more stable
- House walls with real perspective: windows, doors and paintings sit in the wall, and shadows run in one piece
- Alt-Tab on Windows no longer splits the game window. For this, the Steam overlay is now off by default and can be turned on in the options
- Several co-op bugs fixed, among them items vanishing from chests
Launch and your demo save When Bugs & Birdies launches, the demo will be switched off. Your demo saves come with you, so you simply keep playing in your own world in the full game. During the first week after launch the game is 15 % off. Add it to your wishlist and Steam will let you know the moment it is out.
