Bigfoot Life News

[h2]Bigfoot Life launches 1 week from today on Steam![/h2]



To celebrate the release of the game, I will also be doing a bundle sale with the original Morels: The Hunt game that was released under Abrams Studios. This was the first game to feature the Legend himself. Morels: The Hunt will be on sale and also be getting an update with a free new map to explore on the release date of Bigfoot Life.

Bigfoot Life will release at 12 PM CST on November 3rd.

You can take a look at the Morels: The Hunt steam page here. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1156590/Morels_The_Hunt

[h2]Health Update[/h2]

For anyone who hasn't read any previous updates, I had a bone marrow transplant earlier this year. It was a success. The doctors believe that VEXAS and the Blood Cancer have been cured. However, I started to feel bad and ended up having to go back to the NIH (National Institutes of Health) in Maryland for most of September. Thankfully they were able to get a diagnosis and begin a new treatment plan. I have GVHD (Graft Versus Host Disease). Thankfully, I was able to use my time out there to finish up Bigfoot Life. I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their patience with the release of the game and for all of the support. It really means everything to me.

Thank you!

[p]The Bigfoot Life Demo has been updated and is now live. Below are some of the updates and fixes.

[/p][h2]Demo Updates and Fixes[/h2][p]
[/p]

• [p]Small food items like mushrooms and berries are now stackable in your inventory. You can now quickly eat things from your inventory by using Spacebar as well.
  [/p]
• [p]Added in a Bigfoot Knowledge tab in the game menu. This will provide you with more information about bigfoot and other things.
  [/p]
• [p]Foot Size has been added as a customization for the Demo. The full game already has this feature and more customization options than the demo in general.
  [/p]
• [p]Bigfoot will now jump higher when running.[/p]
• [p]Updated some items like being able to light your stick on fire. It will have more useful uses in the full game.
  [/p]
• [p]Fixed human animation stopping sometimes when Bigfoot was holding them.[/p]
• [p]Fixed grill lid attachment position.[/p]
• [p]Updated and fixed some localization issues. Also, the Full game is being localized by professional human translators so it will be much more accurate than the demo.
  [/p]
• [p]Other small misc fixes.[/p]

The Demo will also be featured in the upcoming Steam Next Fest in October.

[/p][h2]Potential Release Date[/h2][p]
Right now nothing is definite, but there is a possibility the full game could be released as soon as a few weeks after Next Fest at the beginning of November. I will provide more details on this as soon as I can.

[/p][h2]Health Updates and Decision Making[/h2][p]
If you have followed any of the recent News posts on the Steam Hub for Bigfoot Life you may already be aware that I had a bone marrow transplant recently. I had a rare disease called VEXAS which also led me to having blood cancer. The transplant was successful, and I now have a second chance at life. I am beyond thankful for the donor and this blessing.

Since being released back home to Indiana from the NIH (National Institutes of Health) in May I had not been feeling the best and started to get worsening new symptoms. This had made it difficult to make the progress on the game I wanted and to release the game when I originally planned to. Thankfully I had a couple programmer contacts who have been able to help me during this time. Their names are listed under programmers and the developer sections of the Credits in the Demo and Full Game. I am so thankful for the help.

Things got pretty bad a couple weeks ago and I am now actually back at the NIH in Maryland. They finally have a diagnosis for the new health issues. I have GVHD (Graft Versus Host Disease). They are on top of things here and I am very thankfully to finally know what is going on. I will probably be out here for at least another couple weeks while they monitor everything since starting the new treatment.

I've been able to use this time to evaluate where Bigfoot Life is at and what the best way forward for the game is. I believe the best decision is to get the game out to all of you as soon as I can during this time that I am starting to feel a little better. After transplant you just never know when things might happen or turn in the wrong direction, so I feel it is best to make the push to get the full game out soon.

At launch the game may not have all the features or be exactly what I originally had hoped for but hopefully it will still be a good game that players will enjoy playing. It will still feature everything listed on the Steam page. I still believe it is important to be able to get the game out sooner rather than later because of the health issues and the uncertainty around that. I will continue to support and update the game after launch as well. This will allow me to keep providing updates and make the game the best possible game that it can be.

I hope to get a new trailer and screenshots out before Steam Next Fest next month.

Thank you so much for all your patience and support with the game. It means so much to me.
