Hello Bugzerz,

(Man I really regret typing that…)

The next massive Bugz will be coming out on 12/12 😮😮😮 to get people excited I decided to leak the development change-log so far. I also want to take this chance to formally announce the road map for future updates as it is right now, which will still be accessible in game.

Initially 0.8.0 was supposed to be a full content update. However, I realized that if I were to do that, the update would probably not come out until mid 2025🥶, and so I decided to push some well needed UI/UX, accessibility support, and general polish all up on my To-Do list. So all of the currently planned updates have been pushed down a version number (though the planed dates have remained generally the same).

Version 0.9.0 will be introducing a system currently in development called the kitchen and while I wont go into specifics, this is designed to bring the current end of progress to around level 250 or so. After that, version 0.10.0 will bring some cosmetic collectables and wrap up the story. Finally if all goes to plan that will leave 0.11.0 to finish up things that I need to do before release (problaby just bug fixes and the EA badges 🎉).

So to wrap up the notable updates until release: 0.9.0 will be the kitchen update. 0.10.0 will be cosmetics (and pets😶). 0.11.0 will be polish and cleanup. 1.0.0 will be the final non EA RELEASE!!!
