Hey Friend-o's.

We can barely believe it's the fourth edition of Buddy's Bulletin already. Thanks for all your support, kind words, suggestions, and feedback. We read everything!

As you may have seen, we released Version 1.07 this week which addresses some of the issues you've been experiencing. Meanwhile, work is continuing to make this the best game we possibly can so updates will continue to roll out. Keep letting us know what you like and don't like in the Steam forums.

And if you're having the absolute best time on Buddy Boulevard, then why not leave us a review on Steam. It all helps!

[h2]Mayor’s Message[/h2]

Hey folks, it’s me. The Mayor of Friendtown. How about those new cards, eh? Will you be adding them to your decks?

As some of you might know, I'm a huuuuge fan of different types of card games. Matter of fact, you can't beat me at Uno. My good friend Myk - bless their heart - thought they had a chance and failed miserably, ho ho!

Now, don't tell anyone I told you so, but I've been hearing some rumblings about a new BFF Update coming up. I can't say too much yet, but I always love when new things happen, don't you? It just puts me in such a great mood and makes me want to head out for a delightful dinner, spend quality time with my friends, or perhaps catch a movie.

Oh, sorry for spacing out there for a moment, I tend to get lost in my thoughts sometimes. I guess that's all we have time for in this week's message! Until next time, that’s been me, the Mayor of Friendtown - and you’ve been reading the Mayor’s Message.
