Patch Notes for Update 1.7
Release date: 2024/3/29

Patch Notes for Update 1.6
Release date: 2024/2/7

Howdy Heroes,

Just a quick shoutout that we are very excited to be showcasing Bawk Bawk at SAGE this February!


[h2]Ease of Play[/h2]
Clucky’s has some major upgrades to her basic abilities such as falling slower, gliding longer, turning faster and bigger boosts. New player experience has been optimized and there should be no more deaths on the tutorial/training levels. Catching rascal should be accessible to all players so he has decided to turn slower and less often. Don’t worry though if you want a challenge there's now an elusive 4 star Rascal and Challenge missions.


[h2]New Content[/h2]
We wanted to live a little and explore some new features for those who have already seen what Bawk Bawk has to offer. We’ve added Chippies and Doughnuts for those who are hungry for more bonus levels. There’s also 17 NEW ITEMS for you to mix and match and find the best combinations. Float through the skies in the Chicken Suit or race through the stars at an amped up 300% speed wearing the new Star Mythics. We’ve even added a new cinematic video to help you explore Clucky’s world in a new way.


[h2]Mission Items & Event[/h2]
We have expanded our missions tab to have more to do such as challenge missions that require extreme skill to complete and hero missions that last forever and unlock some of those new items. Don’t worry, we know the struggle of trying to work out where your mission is so now you can just click/press the mission to go straight to the required level or equip the required item. Lastly we have added some extra event missions until the end of February just to help you top up your eggs ready to buy the new items.

Patch Notes for version 1.5
Release date: 2023/12/12

Howdy Heroes,

We’ve been working hard alongside our composer therealchrisnorton to make sure the Music update and Mobile release makes a big splash! Our focus for this patch was to bring a unique soundtrack to the game, improving the player’s experience and optimisation to make sure it runs as smooth as possible. We are happy to welcome you to the Music and Mobile update!

[h2]Mobile Mad[/h2]
Play On The Go - Bawk Bawk’s mobile release on Android and iOS will be right around the corner! Soon enough you’ll be Bawking at a moment's notice!



[h2]Masterful Music[/h2]
Stop, Look, LISTEN - Now Bawk Bawk is jam packed with new awesome music composed by @therealchrisnorton! Be sure to play with the sound on and the music pumping, treat your ears to a delightful feast. Even Rascal has his own theme to help you know when the chase is on!



[h2]Player Experience[/h2]
First Impressions Matter - We’ve updated the tutorial to give players a better first experience, while also covering more of the core mechanics.
Navigation Nation - Improved navigation based on player feedback. The post game screen is now a lot easier to navigate and the chilli meter now makes it even easier to switch the tempo of gameplay. You now have the ability to change Clucky’s equipment from both the post game and level select screens so you can adjust your outfit on the fly.
My Clucky Senses Are Tingling - Clucky now senses which direction she should turn to find Rascal when he moves out of sight. Clucky can now also sense when a fox is close behind her.
Cheers, Big Ears - A shout-out system is in the game, providing positive reinforcement for completing tutorials as well as highlighting daring dodges and clutch saves.
Second Chances - The new Close Call system gives you more time to react to a collision that would have proved fatal. Use this time to move, dash, or bawk your way to safety. But watch out! The dodge timer drains rapidly during close calls and if you take too long to react, your run will still be over.



[h2]Hot Stuff[/h2]
Super Scary - Fire scarecrows now bounce around while they spin so watch out for these spinning nightmares!
Hex Walled - A new challenge approaches in the form of a new bonus level, it’s like walled only hexed.



[h2]Optimisation Override[/h2]
Staying Positive - Removed all negative scales in bawk bawk that were used to flip objects and used mirrored animation/assets instead to increase gpu instancing performance.
Too Many Triangles - Added LODs for the cylindrical world and some heavy hitting obstacles reducing the total polys by up to 40% in some cases.
Quality Assurance - Reduced the texture quality of the “alright” and “not bad” quality settings, allowing for less overhead on low-end devices.
