I'm excited to announce that a big update has been made to the Bigfoot Life Demo and it is live now.

UPDATES

[h2]UI Updates[/h2]

The main UI has had been updated. You will now find most everything is to left now. Your current tasks has now also been added to the upper left.



[h2]Bigfoot Demo Tasks[/h2]

There are now Bigfoot Tasks for the Demo. You can see them in the Game Menu or in the upper left of your main UI once you have completed all learning station tutorials.





[h2]Added a Trail and Footprints[/h2]

There is now a trail that runs through the map. Footprints of where you have been has also been added when viewing the map. These reset each day or each time you play the game. You can turn them off in settings under Gameplay.





[h2]Optimizations and Resolution Scale Setting[/h2]

The Demo has been optimized a little bit more. There is also now a Resolution Scale setting in under the Graphic Settings. Lowering should significantly help FPS on lower end PCs. For higher end PCs you can raise this above 100 to get even higher quality visuals.

Bug Fixes

• There were some collectables you could not pick up in the previous version. This has now been fixed and you should be able to pick up and collect all human collectables.
  
• Sometimes if you were to Roar while trying to break a branch or other things it would cause you to not be able to interact with items anymore. This should now be fixed.
  
• The weather was raining while it was sunny. This would happen almost every day after day 1. This has been fixed and weather changes should be more realistic in this update.
  
• The action menu to the bottom right has been updated and should always show the correct options.
  
• Text for Bigfoot Fog and Trail Cams were sometimes going through trees. This should be fixed now and the text should always be visible.
  
• Other minor bug fixes.
  

[h3]Plans for the next Demo Update[/h3]

• Update throwing mechanic for rocks.
  
• Add or update human interaction.
  
• Localize to other languages.
  
• Keep listening to feedback and updating/fixing bugs as needed.
  

Thank you so much for everyone who has taken the time to play the Bigfoot Life Demo. It means so much to me and all of the feedback has been so helpful in making the Demo even better which is leading to the Full Game itself being even better.

An update to the Bigfoot Life Demo just went live. Thank you to everyone who has played the game and thank you to everyone has has left feedback. It really helps in making the game better.



[h3]UPDATED PICK UPS[/h3]

The pickup system has had a big overhaul. It should be much easier to pick up items now. They should also be much easier to see. The outline for when you are in range to be able to pick up an item has been changed to orange and the outline itself is now thicker.



[h3]COMPASS ADDED TO MINIMAP[/h3]

The Minimap will also act as a compass.



[h3]MOUSE SENSITIVITY SETTING[/h3]

A Mouse Sensitivity Setting has been added. For now you will find this under Display Settings. This will eventually be moved into a Gameplay Settings Tab.



[h3]BIGFOOT FOG TEXT[/h3]

Sometimes you are rewarded with Bigfoot Fog when you break a Tree Branch. To make it more noticeable when this happens, text will now also appear to let you know about the Bigfoot Fog Item.



[h2]OTHER NOTABLE UPDATES AND FIXES[/h2]

• The bug that would cause you to not be able to interact with anything should be fixed now. If this is still happening to anyone please let me know. Also provide any information that you can that lead to the issue.
  
• Turned off Motion Blur.
  
• Added "Bigfoot Points" Text when you are rewarded with more than just a few points. For example, breaking branches or scaring animals.
  
• Updated grabbing fish animation so your legs are animated while moving around to try to catch the fish.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could not add Orange Pore Mushrooms to your inventory.
  
• Shrank the size of the squirrels a little bit.
  

[h3]DEMO SIZE MAP COMPARED TO ACTUAL GAME MAP.[/h3]

A lot of the feedback that was received on the feedback form suggested a bigger map. Below is a comparison in size of the actual full game's map compared to the demo map. The full game is much larger and will have a lot more features like missions, tasks, bigfoot skills, modes, and more.



I just personally wanted to thank everyone again who has taken the time to play the game. An extra thank you to anyone who has left feedback. Whether that was by filling out the feedback form, the steam hub, social media, or emails. This is so helpful. Please continue to do so. The feedback form link in the Demo's game menus is really helpful but you can feedback anywhere you like. This post, the steam hub, social media, or directly to me through email. [email protected].


There is still feedback and issues being worked on that will hopefully be fixed in the next Patch/Update for the Demo. Any new feedback or issues will also be addressed if possible.

Thank You!
