Hey there! It’s Weekly News time!

Lots of boring coding stuff happened recently (optimization mostly), but we still have one cool thing to share - the name of the town in which Bum Simulator takes place.



Welcome to Bumsville!

Hey there! It’s Weekly News time!

Currently, we are working on shopping cart driving mechanics. It goes pretty well.



Your shopping cart is the most important thing in your possession. It works as a mobile inventory, vehicle, and… your best friend!



Yup. Meet Carl Cartman - your best pal!

Hey there! It’s Weekly News time!

RELEASE DATE: still TBA - we will announce it as soon as we know it - stay tuned!

WHAT IS GOING ON: It is time to meet another NPC - Mr. Jello. He runs a junkyard where you can buy and sell raw building materials.



He also has a knack for explosives. In fact, it was the reason his circus was transformed into a junkyard in the first place.

Hey there! It’s Weekly News time!

RELEASE DATE: still TBA - we will announce it as soon as we know it - stay tuned!

WHAT IS GOING ON: Pigeon customization is finally a thing guys! Check out some of the random item combinations:



Now onto color reskins! And later... Maybe shopping cart customization? :)

Hey there! It’s Weekly News time!

RELEASE DATE: still TBA - we will announce it as soon as we know it - stay tuned!

WHAT IS GOING ON: This week we were testing our new cardboard blocks and various decorations for base building.





You start with small building space, but as you progress and unlock new areas you get to build much bigger constructions.

Hey there! It’s Weekly News time!

This week our level designer managed to finish the layout of the Old Town segment of the city. Here are some screens of the place:







The game world consists of many segments with different themes - this should keep things interesting and fun to explore.

Hey there! It’s Weekly News time!

We are currently working on the day and night cycle. The visuals are close to the final version as can be seen here:



The shops close at night and open in the morning as you would expect. Some missions are time dependant as well.

We still need to adjust the traffic and crowd density based on the time of day and optimize the whole system for performance - hopefully, we will be able to do that before the next week's update.

See you next week!

Hey there! It’s Weekly News time!

We decided to start a weekly announcement series to keep you all up to date. This should give you insight into the development process, as well as an opportunity to share your thoughts about the game.

Bum Simulator looks better every day, but there is still a lot to do. We need to work on the police chase mechanics, alchemy recipes, pedestrian AI, and much more, before we can call it complete!

We know that you would love to get your hands on beta as soon as possible. We would be happy to go Early Access and collect your feedback to make sure the game is balanced… BUT, it still would have to be big, self-contained, fully playable and polished game. In other words - something close to the final product. That’s why we can’t release just yet.

As for the exact release date - we don’t want to promise anything until we are 100% sure about it. You will have to wait some more, but in the meantime - enjoy the weekly news!

Today we decided to reveal one of the NPCs that you will meet in the game.



The Pigeon Lady - she is a quest giver, who can also sell you skill upgrades and cosmetic items for your pigeons.



She loves pigeons. Really. Take our word for it. It may be hard to notice, but it is true.

Hopefully, this update clarified the current status of the game and got you excited about the new content! See you next week!

Now you can get up close and personal with pigeons in Bum Simulator!
