Sorry about lost daily missions...

Hello again,

I found multiple bugs in the daily mission system, which were causing various resets and restarts. Frustrating, I know. It SHOULD be working well now and to make up for your lost grind, I added a few little helpers:


  • For a few weeks daily mission time reduction increased 3 times
  • You can see daily mission popup by pressing "i"
  • If you're in a real hurry... Press CTRL+T to finish tasks for the first few daily missions (does not advance the time)


Also...



  • Added a few more achievements
  • Added a test leaderboard for Blast waves
  • Fixed a few smaller bugs


Thank you for your patience!

New outfits and more bug fixes


  • Added a few new (and quite awesome) outfits
  • Fixed a bug that caused soft-lock in Blast mode (whoops)
  • Fixed a bug that caused daily missions to restart (massive whoops)

Fixes and small changes


  • Fixed Shroom running away off screen and never coming back
  • Changed Shroom AI a little bit
  • Added a few more preventative measures to avoid enemies getting stuck off screen
  • Added some info notes below item lists
  • Fixed a bug (?) where enemies wouldn't attack if player hasn't pressed any buttons
  • Started (re)writing enemy AI system... Who knows what will come out of it!

New game mode: Blast Arena*

Hello there,

I'm aware that many Bacon May Die just want to hop in, smash their keyboard for a few minutes and get back to the game they were downloading or queueing for. So, I added an even simpler and smaller game mode for exactly that purpose!

It's still work-in-progress, so you can't earn coins, save your progress or grind stats. But all of that will be added soon. For now, just check it out and let me know what you think. Blast Arena unlocks with 50+ hit combo, hope that's not too hard to reach.


  • New game mode: Blast Arena
  • Fixed some item unlock counters not being updated properly
  • Fixed visual side of screen glitch during screenshake
  • Fixed ninja enemy being invisible

Blast Arena



  • Single limited zone
  • Enemies spawn in waves and get progressively difficult
  • Forced loadout (for now it's sword, UZI and grenade)
  • Lower max HP and ammo


Seriously, if you have a wild idea for the game or want something improved - don't hesitate to post it. Even if I can't always make things happen (like online multiplayer), I love to read your feedback.

Cheers!

More Achievements!

Hello there,

I added a handful of new achievements and improved icons for all of them. Nothing too grindy, hope you'll have fun hunting the sneakier ones!

Would you like more fun achievements? Suggest some!

Daily missions, item markers and more outfits

Ho Ho Ho,

Hope you had a pleasant holidays and got some cool warm socks for Christmas! Before the year ends I wanted to push the last sizeable Bacon May Die update of 2021.

The main highlight of this one is Daily Missions, which should give you more to do rather than being annoying for slowing down outfit unlocks. They will never reset, won't be tied to important content or achievements and countdown to the next daily mission is reduced while you play (depending on damage dealt and your XP level).



Items unlockable with these missions will likely change in the future, but they should be granted to anyone who already passed that amount of days.

Also in this update...

  • From now newly added items should be marked as such in the list
  • Recently unlocked outfits should also be marked in the lest
  • Added a few more outfits


Hope it's not too buggy, because booster shot might knock productivity out of me for a day or two.

So, let me know what you think about these daily missions. Yay or nay? What kind of tasks should I add in them?

Also, if you're wiling to give feedback, I'd like to know how could I improve the tutorial? I feel like it's pretty confusing and not fun at all.

Cheers!

New mechanic, few new items and bug fixes


  • New YEET mechanic (some enemy bodies are now throwable)
  • New logo animation
  • Couple new outfit items
  • Hopefully fixed a projectile-related crash

YEET


Throwing enemies around should be pretty seamless, although I haven't tested it in a very hectic combat yet. To grab a body, simply roll near a dead bat, spider or hedgehog and let the piggy do the rest.



Let me know how it goes!

P.S. Outfit Contest ends tomorrow, so there's still time to get your outfits in and win prizes!
