Bee Island News

Long Live the Queen!

We are pleased to announce that we are finally ready to show the update. Almost 7 months have passed since the last update was released. Many players could rightly think that we abandoned this game, deceiving everyone who was promised an update. But that's not true. We, as developers, love this game, because it became our first game on Steam and despite the fact that we are developing another game, we are devoting time to working on updating Bee Island.

We'll be releasing an update this summer and splitting it into two parts for two events on Steam. The summer sale will begin on June 27, and the festival of tower defense games will start on July 29.

In the first update we will add a new era, resources, factories, enemies and new buildings, and in the second - a new game mode, weather conditions and even more buildings, weapons and research in the new era. We also slightly improved optimization and fixed a number of bugs.

We continued to read player reviews all this time and we are very grateful to everyone who took the time to give fair criticism and helped us make the game better!

Thanks to everyone who has been protecting the queen from the hornets all this time with us!

Hello everyone!

We work like bees, but this did not save us from postponing the update!

In the last message we wrote that we were going to add a new era, game mode, weather, etc. to the game. During the development process, at almost every stage we were faced with the fact that we were not happy with the results of our work, there were new ideas and what had already been done before was been polishing. Because of this, there was more work, and we liked the idea of ​​limiting ourselves to a certain date less and less, because otherwise we would not have time to do everything as we planned.

Also, since we don't have a publisher, we handle all the legal issues ourselves. This also takes a lot of time and sometimes forces us to be distracted from development. We still have not received money from the sales of the game and are unlikely to receive it before December due to the legal peculiarities of our country, company, bank, etc. But we do not despair and continue development with the money that we have left.

Now, I think its enough of our whining and you're ready to see what we've already done!

We have done a lot of work and are pleased to announce that from a technical point of view the new game mode is ready, and now we are developing levels and an UI for it. The game mode will be similar to TABS and Beseige.



Also, we have completely thought through the new era. In the fourth era, the player will have access to 2 new resources. Plasma and energy. They will be produced in the corresponding buildings and will be spent by defensive buildings. For example, a plasma gun will not be able to shoot endlessly like a minigun; it will consume plasma from its storage.




New units of bees and enemies will appear in the game. And at the end of the era, the player will face a boss who, with his size and power, will become a real challenge and will make the ending more difficult.

Night and weather conditions will appear in the game, including a thunderstorm, during which lightning will set buildings on fire. To minimize the damage, it will be necessary to build lightning rods.

Hello bees!

Bee Island has collected 200 reviews today. 85% of them are positive. We are very glad that you liked the game and would like to thank everyone who wrote to us about bugs in it. We try to read each of your messages and each of your feedback. We understand that some players may find the game lacking in content, so here's our roadmap for the next big update.

• Challenge mode, in which the player will have access to 10-15 levels. This mode will resemble the main game mode in TABS. At each level, the player will see all the enemies that attack him. The player will need to correctly spend resources on the buildings and bees available at this level in order to defeat all enemies.
  
• New era. There are currently 3 eras available in the game. We will add new research in the research center and the fourth era. In this era, the player will have access to new turrets, special buildings, new bees and new resources. In addition, a new type of opponents will appear, which will make the gameplay more diverse.
  
• The change of night and day. Change of weather. Several weather conditions will be added to the game: Fog, rain, thunderstorm. They have different effects on buildings and bees.
  
• Wonders of the world and islands. Already now you can notice Stonehenge on the game map. We will add a few more islands with ancient buildings. The player will be able to activate these buildings and receive bonuses.
  
• Management of bees from the first person. The player can now fire turrets in first person. We will add the ability to control bees as well. Coupled with a new type of bee, it will be interesting.
  

The update will be released on October 5th and will be marked by a big discount. We hope that all of the above will be included in this big update, but if plans change, we will be sure to inform you on our Disrod server and community group on Steam.

Also, I remind you that collectible cards, backgrounds and icons will soon become available to players.
