Buddy’s Bulletin: IX, July 28

Howdy Friends, welcome back to another Buddy's Bulletin!
Hope ya'll been having a blast in Friendtown and enjoying all the sights and sounds. It's our pleasure to host you, even if our walls are full of bulletholes and our treasured artifacts are worse for wear.
Jokes aside, we've got something real important to talk about this week. As we move into another month, we're going to reshape these bulletins a little bit. We'll explain more in the next section, but we think it's time to make a few changes around these parts.

[h2]Reveal of the Week[/h2]
We've got lots of things cooking in the background, including two premium expansions, lots of free updates, more maps, cards, characters, skins, and a few surprises along the way. Not to mention our release on consoles. So we're not going anywhere!
But we're not always going to be able to talk about these things on a week to week basis, I hope you understand? We'll share what we can, when we can, and it'll still be regular. In fact, next week, we've already got a little special something coming up. But that sort of links into our next point.
We've been spending a lot of time combing through your feedback, reading reports, looking at reviews, listening in on Discord, and it's become clear we need to work harder in addressing some of your concerns. So, over the next few weeks, we're going to put a slight pause on content-themed drops and instead dedicate more time to bug fixing, polishing, balancing, and reviewing certain components of the game.
This is to make sure we get it right and set Friends vs Friends up for the long term, especially when it comes to welcoming more players from other platforms. We want to be producing Buddy's Bulletins years from now, making sure to keep our community updated and invested in Friends vs Friends for a long time. To do that, we need to spend more time tweaking things in the back-end.
To help us out, if you've got a specific issue you feel needs addressing or want to see a particular feature added, drop us a comment below or keep the discussion flowing in the Steam forums. We want to hear from as many of you as possible to make sure we get this right and you have the best time hanging out with us in Friendtown.
Thank you so much for continuing to support us, playing Friends vs Friends, spreading the word and helping us make this the absolute best possible experience it can be. We couldn't do any of this without you.
