Hello friends (and enemies ːccskullː )!

I'm back with a bunch of news about the Bear Game™.
We've been hard at work on things both in and out of the game for the past few months that I wanted to share. So here goes!

HANK PLUSH

Arguably the most important piece of news, icymi is that we have a HANK PLUSH!!
We're working with Makeship which sort of works like a kickstarter for plushies, and there's just over 10 more days to nab a Hank Plush for yourself!




We've also launched a couple of physical editions of the game, and alongside them the Official B&B Soundtrack on Vinyl!

The soundtrack is composed by Andrew Landry and the cover art was made in actual plasticine by the amazing cobcris.



If you're not a vinyl votary, we've also released the soundtrack digitally to almost everywhere you listen to music on, including on Spotify, Bandcamp as well as a Youtube video for all your study needs



We’re coming up on one year since Bear and Breakfast launched and we’re still working on it! A lot of our time in the past few months has been occupied with addressing a lot of the technical debt we accrued while developing the game. As we all know, every video game is secretly three strands of spaghetti duct taped together. We've been rewriting a lot of the code in order to smooth out some of the performance, but more importantly, to allow us to expand on the game further.

With that in mind, I'm happy to report that we’ve got two major beats coming this year:

This Summer / Fall 🌞
🎮 A Controller and UI/UX Patch will be coming soon to the game.
🌎 We’ll be adding Brazilian Portuguese to our list of supported languages.
🤐 We’re also working to bring Bear and Breakfast to a new platform.


Later This Year ⛄
A “Big Content Update” is in development and slated to come out in 2023!!
Hank goes in search of a certain someone! Jumping on a boat with Will and Annie, they all take a trip to far away lands!

• It expands on the current game’s story and world.
  
• It will feature New Areas, New Hotels, New Furniture and New Characters.
  
• It will also further the stories of some existing characters.
  
• The update will also bring a brand new Management-Focused Game Mode!!
  
• It will be available for free later this year.

To round things out, as you may all know, Steam Summer Sale has come and almost gone! Bear and Breakfast is currently at the biggest discount ever of 30% off so this is a good a time as any to dip your toes in!

All of today's news is on this handy dandy web page I painstakingly made because I love u

thanks for being here ❤️

Hi Coaches!

Tomorrow around 11am (Paris Time) we will apply a change to the Ladder. You will win or lose more SR (Skill Ratings) wheneven you win or lose a match.

This change will not require a maintenance.

We have monitored closely the Ladder since the start of Season 1 and we believe that the progression could be faster and that a match, especially a Blood Bowl match, which takes some time, should have more impact too avoid the game feeling to "grindy"

We will continue to monitor S1 and take a close attention to your feedback to apply changes when we think they are good for the game, so please continue to let us know what you think of BB3!

New Features & Changes
- Added a new perk for the electrician: PORTABLE LAMPS. The electrician can carry three lamps that stick to any surface and stay lit up even when the fuses are blown.
- Updated the German translation.
- Updated the Chinese translation.

Adjustments
- Role points are now correctly refunded for players that had bought the "cover" card before it became a default card.

We just can't stop and want to play with you AGAIN! Next beta date is confirmed and we are thrilled to jump back into the Loop. If you already signed up and got your role on the Discord, you are set and ready to go. If not, feel free to sign up with the form and join the Discord to chat with us and other players during the Beta.

If you haven't seen more about the game yet, here is some information:



Share the love and die trying!

This platformer is joyful, altruisitc and it has cooperation at its core. Start your way through the Loop with up to 10 random players. Help each other, work together and find bliss in cooperation — especially when things go wrong.



Doing good earns Karma!

Every good thing you do, one way or another, earns you the sweet Karma you can use to unlock characters and their abilities for future Loops. Even some cheeky self-sacrificing because dying isn't the end here.



No run is ever quite the same

The size of your team, the characters and perks you choose will all determine your next level. Every character comes with their own ability, wanna play as an Umbrella to protect your team? Or be a super strong elephant paving the way for others? It's up to you!



Thank youuuu!

We have another list of awesome new mods to share with you! Our developers made their choice and here’s the 3 winners of this month!

They’re divided in the 3 following categories:

• Best New Map: The new map that our devs liked the most.Their choice is based on the map design, including tasks, missions, flow, and how it feels to play. Also based on the most impressive, detailed, and aesthetically pleasing environments.
  
• Best New Vehicle: The devs will pick a recent mod which has the most impressive model to them. It also includes what stands out to them in terms of being satisfying to drive, be it due to authenticity or just plain fun.
  
• Best “Massive Vehicle” Mod: This category rewards the most massive vehicle mod as judged by the developers.

Time to discover who are the winners of this month!


Dev comment: This vehicle is truly “massive” with its huge and impressive design. It’s really fine work!


Dev comment: This mod offers a nice pack of heavy trucks to help for mounting superstructures, it’s very interesting and useful!


Dev comment: This is a small well made map with a very good design. Great work!

Congratulations to the winners, and well done to all the modders for their incredible work 👏 See you next time for more awesome mods!

Don’t hesitate to share all your superb mods on http://mod.io/ on the SnowRunner page!

See you in the snow,

The Saber, Focus, and http://mod.io/ Teams

The Forbidden Monuments update is levelling up how you and your friends will advance in Smalland: Survive the Wilds.



Located at the North of the map, the Forbidden Monuments is a hallowed place in Smallfolk lore, filled with towering remnants of Giant civilisation. What bizarre rituals did they perform here? What is the meaning of the strange relics strewn on the ground?

Smallfolk scholars have debated this for centuries - but you'll have no time to ponder the answers if you brave this high level area.



Ringed by a fence, with an old dead tree in the centre, the Forbidden Monuments offer the most challenging creatures the game has to offer. Stinkbugs will inflict area-of-effect poison attacks, while territorial Blue Tit birds will swoop down and land devastating attacks from above.

And, if the whispers among the Vanguards are true, those may not be your only threats...



Look to one of the area's landmarks to find the latest NPC to join our cast, a new kind of merchant who will grant you the right to flight in a new story chapter that takes the most skilled Smallfolk in a new direction - up!



We've still got lots more surprises coming in this next update, and we hope you'll give a hoot as we reveal more between now and July 20th!



Stay tuned - in our next news story on Wednesday 12th July, we'll reveal more about the fearsome new bird enemy - a fearsome flying foe that changes the game in more ways than one!
