Bug & Seek News

The cave biome is here!! You may have already spotted the exit from the Buggburg Meadows. The entrance can be found...wait, no spoilers! But maybe check somewhere hot and dusty. ;)

Along with the cave, you'll find three new bugs in your codex. AND you can upgrade your Insectarium two more times!! There's lots of new space for displaying your bugs!

Also to note, we are in the process of optimizing things for our Nintendo Switch port, and there's still work to be done. You might notice some pauses when moving between scenes. We will send out another patch as soon as we smooth that out. :)

Enjoy the new content, and thank you so much for playing!

I just pushed a small update with one content update and a few optimizations. Here's what's new:

• 2 New Jobs - 2 new jobs are in the list and may appear when accepting jobs from the merchants. Jobs are chosen at random, so you may or may not see them right away. (They are for bugs in the Beach biome.)
  
• Steam Deck optimizations - On Steam Deck you can now see the full width of the Insectarium when in Build Mode. I adjusted the cameras a bit in the other scenes for Steam Deck's resolution as well.
  
• Other optimizations - Some small changes in the code that are probably not noticeable, but I try to do a little optimization where I can whenever I push an update!
  

Any questions/feedback you have, feel free to post in Steam Discussions and/or on our Discord server. Thank you for playing!

The Isopod DLC is finally here! 20 new isopods, each with a unique silhouette, tagline, and description. We chose a wide variety of 'pods from all over the world to include in this pack. Catch them, name them, and put them on display on display in your Insectarium. Once installed, these lovable critters will be scattered throughout Buggburg, and you'll see some new codex entries at the end of your list. You will also notice the new mastery category in your journal. Good luck, and happy bug hunting!

We have just finished adding controller support for Bug & Seek--both the full game and the demo. And while we were working on that, Steam was reviewing the game for Steam Deck compatibility. We're happy to say that you can now experience Bug & Seek with either of these options!

Note that our Store page will continue to say "partial controller support," as we do not have an on-screen keyboard for those instances where you name your bug or your Insectarium. You can use a regular keyboard for these things or skip them altogether. (I'm working on it this option for a future update!)

For those jumping in with controllers who are past the initial tutorial in the game, when in doubt, press the East button--this will make your cursor appear if you don't see it immediately, or return it to the default position. 🙂 You can also exit most UI menus by pressing the North button.

The full controls are displayed in the Pause Menu.

I hope this makes your play experience all the better--and way cozier--this holiday season.

Thanks for playing!

Hello bug-catchers!

We will be releasing the Isopod DLC this January! The DLC will contain 20 more Isopods, ranging from Common to Extremely Rare. If the Common Pillbug and the Rubber Ducky Isopod just weren't enough for you, then this is your DLC.

The Isopod DLC will be available for $1.99.

Happy bug-hunting!
