Hello everyone!
We’ve been absolutely thrilled by the recent interest in the Bug Cleaners demo! To be honest, the previous demo build was getting a bit outdated, and we wanted to make sure your experience with the game is as great as possible.
That’s why we decided to bring some of the major new systems and improvements we’ve been working on straight into the demo. We know many of you have been waiting for a fix regarding the infamous disappearing cat. We actually built a completely new system from scratch to solve this, which is why it took a bit of time (there might still be a few minor quirks, but we'll fix them in upcoming patches).
Detailed Patch Notes
New Inventory System
The carrying hustle is finally over! You can now carry up to 5 items at the same time. Your items will be displayed on the brand-new HUD at the bottom of the screen. Just don't forget the cat in one of your mysterious pocket dimensions!
New Lighting System
While it's still a work in progress, we've implemented a much more vibrant and realistic lighting system, and we wanted to give you a preview of it in the demo level! The game looks much more visually appealing now. Plus, the poor cat's shadows are finally more accurate. :)
New Hazmat Suit Colours
In multiplayer mode, your friends will now spawn with different colored hazmat suits so you can easily tell each other apart!
Bug Fixes & Improvements
Fixed a bug where missions were not being counted correctly.
Fixed various situations where tools—like the cat—would disappear. Hopefully, you won't encounter this issue anymore! As a reminder, you can always respawn your tools by pressing "J" back at the van.
Overall game performance has been improved by around 50% (expect much less stuttering!), and we are still actively working on even further optimizations.
Thanks again for the huge interest and the 10.000 wishlist mark! We are working every day to bring the best version of the Bug Cleaners on September 25th.
