Bug & Seek News

The Weevils are here! We had planned to release Monday, but we just couldn't help it! Testing is all done, and while the base game is still on sale, we decided, why wait? :)

The Weevil DLC includes 20 new weevils scattered throughout Buggburg + a new Weevil category to master. Check your codex to see these new entries, complete with taglines, descriptions, and where to find them.

Here's a sneak peek of just a few!

If you were having trouble in build mode, that's on me. It was checking for a Steam Achievement where it should not have been and getting stuck. Found, fixed, and pushed. Thank you all for your bug reports and for your patience!

Achievements are here! We've got 37 possible achievements to go after, so start swinging that net. :)

If you are starting a new game, you're good to go. If you are loading a previous save, it will look for achievements on load. There are four Achievements that couldn't be tracked retroactively:
Bug Money
Moneymaker
Odd Company
Peas in a Pod

While I couldn't grab these on load, all four of these Achievements can be gotten in game even if you have already 100% completed it.

If for some reason you want to reset your Steam Achievements and start again, you can do that in the Options menu.


A bonus (good) bug that we added for this update: the Rainbow Grasshopper! Our email subscribers voted on this addition, so you can now find this colorful critter hiding somewhere in Buggburg. And if you want to join in on the next vote, you can do that here.


And the final little improvement you can expect to see... When selecting bugs to ship for a job, bugs that cannot be shipped are darker and more obviously not selectable. This was a great suggestion from one of our players. Keep the feedback coming! It's such a privilege to be working on this game and building something fun and beautiful together.

Have a great week, friends!

Under the hood optimizations to reduce load times. Thanks to our friends at 1PXL who are currently working on the Switch port, we were able to apply their changes to the Steam build as well! 👏👏👏 I've never seen it run this fast! :)

Just a few small changes in this update, but I hope they make your play experience much more enjoyable!

- Improved load times between scenes
- Fixed an issue where viewing your jobs shipping menu immediately before trying to sell a bug caused bugs in your inventory to be non-interactive.
- Fixed some minor controller support issues.
- Added function for the East button (B on xbox / O on PS) to close certain menus where possible/natural.

Have a great week!
