Beetle Uprising News

Hello everyone!

Slug Disco will be returning to Tokyo Game Show from September 25th to the 28th!

The Ember Guardian will be available to play in the Select Indie 80 section of the venue, and we will have 6 more games to play over in the indie area of the show.

The games on show will be:

• Adapt
  
• Green Again
  
• Horticular (with a surprise!)
  
• Strange Seed
  
• Ecosystem
  
• Primordial Empire
  

If you're at the show please come say hello to me (Dan) and Hei Man :)

Well would you look at that!

Beetle Uprising is now on sale for 30% off during the Halloween Sale (through to November 8th as we will also be running an anniversary sale for our birthday on November 5th!)

What could be spookier than self-immolating and exploding beetles? We honestly can't think of anything!

We're pleased to reveal we're part of the World Nature Conservation Day Sale event here on Steam and to celebrate we're currently offering 30% off Beetle Uprising until the end of the event!



If you want to know a little more about what Beetle Uprising is all about, then one of the Slug Disco team, Liam, has an ongoing series demoing the game:

We are pleased to announce we have just released a new mode for Beetle Uprising - Easy Mode!

In Easy Mode you will find the following key features:

• Reduction in happiness penalties.
  
• Breeding is biased toward the stronger parental allele.
  
• Beetles with blue star genetics are now highlighted in all modes.
  

In practice what this means is that there will be less of a grind needed to get those killer beetles that can dominate the harder levels and enemies in the game.

That's not to say you will be able to get three stars in all levels straight away as the game is balanced for replayability - what it does mean is that you shouldn't struggle to complete the levels even to a 1-star standard.

We're finally here! Beetle Uprising has now left early access and is available as a full game on Steam. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this project through its development; the game is now feature complete and the Abandoned Lot is 100% ready to be conquered!

There has been an optional beta to test some of the final additions running recently; thanks to everyone who has played this and given us feedback.

As well as the completion of the campaign levels, a new feature - Mystery Mode - has been added. This gives random rewards instead of set ones in the campaign, which could lead to some interesting beetle abilities and stats earlier on! We look forward to seeing what you get.

The publishers, Slug Disco, have been doing some streams of the game lately and they'll be doing a special stream as part of the release at 6.30pm UK time (1.30pm US Central) on YouTube. That'll be streamed on the Slug Disco channel: click here to go there.

So, there you have it. Your Abandoned Lot is infested with ants, spiders and beetles not borne of the Matriarch. Claim what is rightfully yours by breeding the best beetles in Beetle Uprising!
