For longtime followers of the game’s development, my journey has been an important part of Bigfoot Life from the very beginning. Much of the game was created during hospital stays including work done from my hospital bed battling VEXAS and Blood Cancer.

Working on Bigfoot Life got me through some incredibly difficult times. My bone marrow transplant donor gave me a second chance at life. Even though the game game just recently released, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate that than by giving the game a huge 75% Off discount so more players can have access to it. It will be on sale starting today and continue through the Steam Winter Sale.



I want to personally thank my donor and thank anyone who has ever been a donor of any kind. You are a blessing, and I wouldn’t be here today without people like you.

Thank you so much for all the support. Every message, every review, every player who takes the time to walk in Bigfoot’s footsteps, it means the world to me.

The newest update for Bigfoot Life Just went live. Below are some of the updates.

[h2]Wood or Tree Knocking[/h2]

This will allow you to use your Bigfoot Points for things. You will also have the chance to visit the Land of Mystery where you just might meet a few fellow Cryptids.

Look for the dead trees that look like this.


Woodknocking menu.



[h2]First Person Camera Mode[/h2]

You will now be able to choose a First Person Camera Mode. It will be the same as Bigfoot Vision but without all of the Bigfoot Vision Stuff.




[h2]New Hair Card Fur Option[/h2]

I have not figured out the cause yet but for some reason some PCs or GPUs are having issues with the Groom Fur that is being used for the fur on Bigfoot. Some pretty low end computers are able to play just fine with good performance. I've even heard the game runs well on the Steam Deck. Looking at some of the reviews however, it appears some pretty high end machines are sometimes having issues with performance because of the Groom Fur. I am trying to figure out why this is happening to some players. So far it seems completely random.


The "Low" Fur Setting will now use cards for the fur instead of Groom. This will obviously not look nearly as good as the higher quality Groom fur but performance should be much better.




-Fixed the foot placement IK issue when you would start to run
-Some more minor optimization fixes.
-Updated some localization

The Upcoming Transplantaversary Sale!

Just wanted to remind everyone about this sale coming up on December 18th to celebrate my upcoming anniversary of my bone marrow transplant that saved my life. The game will be heavily discounted during the sale.


Thank you so much for all of the support. It means so much to me.

[p]I wanted to take this time to give more information on the upcoming update and to announce that during the Steam Winter Sale Bigfoot Life will be having a really big sale to celebrate my Transplantaversary (my re-birthday or one year anniversary of my bone marrow transplant.)
[/p][p] For anyone that followed the development of the game you are already aware that I had a bone marrow transplant that saved my life. I can't think of a better way to celebrate this than to give a huge discount on the game. Working on Bigfoot Life got me through some really tough times the last couple of years. A lot of the development was actually done on my hospital bed. [/p][p]I wanted to take this time to personally thank my donor who has given me a second chance at life and helped the game become a reality. Also, thank you so much to anyone who is or has been a donor of any kind for anyone. You are such a blessing and I would not be here today without people like you.[/p][p]
Unless you just can't wait or you don't mind paying full price for the game I suggest waiting for the sale on December 18th. It will be a really big discount. I wanted to make sure i let everyone know as soon as possible about the sale so you would have a chance to hold off on buying it and getting it at a much cheaper price if you wanted.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The update should be ready a week or two before the sale.

Wood/Tree Knocking has been the most requested feature players would like to see added to the game. I'm working on the feature now. This will also allow you to use your points now for something. Maybe even get enough to check out the Land of Mystery.....
