Bearnard News

Hi folks!

It's been an incredible week for me and Bearnard. I'm thrilled that the game has been well received. Thank you for all the kind words, positive reviews, and overwhelming support.

Even though I tested the game extensively, a few minor bugs slipped through. Thanks for all the reports! Here's a quick summary of what’s been fixed recently:

Added:

• Witch description was missing — now added.
  

Fixed:

• Castle 01 - Barrels Puzzle: Barrels shot too high were getting stuck, which caused the gate to remain closed until a checkpoint restart. This is now fixed.
  
• Addressed edge cases when loading and restarting levels, which could leave Bearnard with 0 HP.
  
• Corrected level name translations in the Mines (Polish language).
  
• Fixed camera positioning when the target was too far away.
  
• Gamepad events now only respond to the default device, preventing double clicks/motion when using gamepad emulation software like DualSense-X or Steam Input.
  
• Various other minor tweaks and improvements.
  
• Cleaned up my desk (no more excuses for a messy workspace!).
  

Changed:

• Reduced traps' collision boxes for easier jumping in tight spaces.
  
• Improved areas with collectibles that Bearnard couldn't pick up when at 1 HP.
  
• Deployed traps (e.g. Blue Poo, Mine, Spikes) are now removed when combat ends, preventing players from getting stuck in tight spaces after a fight.
  
• Changed the "Restart level" text to "Restart challenge" when Bearnard is in a challenge room.
  

Cheers,
Mike

Hello adventurers! 👋

Mike here! As a fan of portable gaming, I've ensured that Bearnard is fully compatible with the Steam Deck, so you can dive into Bearnard's adventures wherever you go.

Bearnard's performance on the Steam Deck is seamless, offering the perfect blend of portability and playability. But don't just take my word for it! SteamDeckHQ recently highlighted Bearnard as one of the top demos to play on the Steam Deck during Steam Next Fest.

See what they had to say here: Read the SteamDeckHQ article.




But there’s more! For a firsthand look at how Bearnard performs on the Steam Deck, check out this insightful video by The Steam Decker. You'll see just how smoothly it runs and learn about the levels of hardware usage during play.

I can't wait for you to experience Bearnard on your Steam Deck and explore game's world wherever you go. If you’ve already tried out the demo (which is still available on Steam by the way) on your Steam Deck, I’d love to hear about your experiences!

Happy gaming and see you in the forest! 🐻🏹

Exciting news, adventurers! 🌲🐻

Luckily, thanks to the quick response from the Steam Support Team, we're thrilled to have our original slot back!

We're taking full advantage of this opportunity — join us today at 6PM CEST as Mike returns to my Steam page for another exclusive stream. This time he’ll be showcasing advanced gameplay content from parts of the game that aren’t included in the demo.
