Hi, I won’t be able to finish The Bugs Manor in 2025, so I’ll have to postpone its release to 2026.

The reason I haven’t been able to finish the game on time is that, during development, I started working full-time due to a difficult financial situation. As a result, the time I have available to work on The Bugs Manor has been drastically reduced, and since I’m developing the game on my own, this has slowed down progress considerably.

However, the game is neither canceled or frozen. I’m still working on it in my free time, and although progress isn’t as fast as I would like, I am making improvements little by little.

The game is currently in an alpha state, which means that all gameplay and narrative are complete. What remains is mainly art, audio, and polish. Right now, I’m focusing on finishing all the visual aspects so I can create a trailer for the game.

Unfortunately, I can’t provide a concrete release date, as it’s very difficult to make an exact time estimate.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to those who were expecting the game. I’ll do my best to have it ready as soon as possible, with a level of quality I can be proud of.

Best regards, and thank you very much for your understanding and patience.

Lots of new content is now available! The main feature of the update is the buffet! Feed your hungry guests from a selection of foods. Build a buffet area with a Host booth, tables, chairs, and a buffet table. Lots of other improvements and content to explore. Buffet Items have to be researched so check out the research screen to unlock it.

I'm already getting to work on update 13 - Prestige and Deliveries Update, stay tuned to the experimental branch for updates and content previews.

The buffet has 5 level which need to be researched to unlock. Lower levels are cheaper to fill but higher levels generate more prestige.

Hello, hello! It's been another bi-week and the updates have slowed down, but worry not I've been cooking-to the best of my ability-some visual overhauls to the game.

Art really isn't my forte but I've recently spent a lot of time in the game design and code aspects of Souls End and really have neglected the visuals for quite a while. So, the past two weeks I've been both trying to improve the games overall "vibe" and improve my art skills/eye.

I've been honed in on improving the UI as I felt that was one of the most lacking parts of the game and the most efficient use of my time. Here's a few different screenshots of the changes I've made so far.The wooden arch you see here is my pixel art rendition of a Lichgate/Lychgate. They serve as the entry ways to hallowed grounds, a space between life and death.

Here you can see the all new game UI. I wanted to go for an old stony vibe, similar to the one seen in act two and also took inspiration from Roman/Greek architecture. I might've also added some easter eggs to it as well ;).

Here's the way the games UI looks like during battle. The stats list is now hideable with one of my favorite pieces of UI I've cooked up, the rope. I really enjoy adding small details to the work I do and I hope these little aspects of the game give you as much of a smirk as they do when I add them. Oh and that little 1x you see in the bottom is the long awaited time adjustment function!

There's been a few more changes but those will have to wait. If you've read this far I really appreciate your support of the game! If you'd like to share your thoughts on the game or the upcoming UI changes, join the Discord, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Until next time! ːcozycrashfishː
