Hello Bugzerz,

(Man I still really regret typing that... I'll get used to it eventually... I hope.) Bugz's next update is way closer than anyone was expecting, given that I released 0.8.0 just a week ago from tomorrow. So I'm here to announce that public testing is coming real soon, the beta will be here by 3/3/25, which will give me some much-needed time to confirm balance changes. Along with that date, 0.9.0 will be coming out on the Bugziversary 5/5/25. So mark your calendar, and start preparing for your party!

So what's 0.9.0

You may remember the last road map update labelled it as the "Kitchen update." However, that was just an internal name to avoid you guys asking about it! This way I could introduce this massive update at a point where its further along in a way that will hopefully get everyone excited! Although I'm not going to be announcing content in it quite yet, I can announce the name which should shed some light on its important features.

Stop rambling, what's it called?

Bugz 0.9.0 will be called... Drum roll please... Souls, Tolls, and Stories.

I'm a bit underwhelmed. What else can you show???

Here, take some complementary screenshots with some [strike]nondescript[/strike] content spoilers!

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!!!
