All news Players around this date Read on Steam

Hey, friends! There are a few updates in this patch that will hopefully make your experience in Buggburg even better. :) Also, if you hadn't heard yet... Bug & Seek is now available on mobile devices for both iOS & Google Play!

Here's are the updates included in this build:

Option to Turn On Interaction Emotes
There's a new option in the Options menu to turn on Interaction Emotes. When turned on, you'll see an emote appear on your character when approaching an object that can be checked for a bug. This feature is automatic on mobile but optional for PC/Mac (coming soon to Switch).

Sell Back Decor at Full Price
Decor can be sold back to merchants at full price. There is an occasional bad bug where players are getting a storage tank when they attempt to buy something else. It'll take me a longer time to fix this, so in the meantime, you can just sell those tanks back at full price. :)

Rope Ladder Can Be Fixed
The rope ladder is now permanently fixed after using it once for convenient travel from the main meadows area to the cave.

Easier Controller Use When Shipping Jobs
When shipping jobs, your inventory appears in one screen. Those using controllers will no longer have to scroll to select all the bugs they want to ship.

New Good Bug!
Moss Mimic Stick Insect was added

New Tank Added
A new 3-Bug Wooden Tank will appear sometimes at Bob's Bigger Store on Sunday

Legendary = Extremely Rare
"Extremely Rare" was changed to "Legendary." This was a purely aesthetic choice to fit with our tabletop game that's currently in development. ;)

Optimizations
Optimizations were made in the code for slightly faster load times (won't be noticeable on high-performing machines) and to guard against certain bad bugs occurring when placing decor.

AAAND... in other news, Craig (our game writer) just published a book! So if you like all those clever taglines and bits of dialogue, you might like the other words he's been writing, too. :) It's on Amazon in paperback and eBook.

As always, we so appreciate your support. Thank you for playing!!

We've been working hard on the mobile version of Bug & Seek, and in the process were able to optimize/fix a few more things for Steam. · Bad Bug Fix - In the stores, some people were experiencing the wrong item being bought or sold.
