Bug Bait Roadmap!

Hello! Thank you for your interest in Bug Bait! As our demo has now been released, we have created a rough outline for what we want to start working towards over the next few updates! 01 is pretty general and already in the works. It involves some QOL features and backend improvements. 02 is making the game feel more complete and replayable, with maps, bosses and features! 03 is still very up in the air, with things we have talked about and would like to add to the game (but don't hold it against us if it doesn't make the final cut). If you have any suggestions, be sure to let us know. We hope you are looking forward to more Bug Bait content!
