We are happy to announce a new game we’ve been working on for quite a while:
Arm yourself with some coffee and donuts because Police Station Simulator is coming soon!
Bum Simulator never took itself too seriously, and you can expect similar vibes from our newest title as it is set in the "same world", but in a different place - the city of Twin Pigs.
The incoming raid window will no longer appear during cutscenes.
Fixed the description for roasted apple and tobacco.
Fixed the bug that caused the effects of fruit salad to be permanent.
Fixed the plant harvesting widget so it disappears correctly after harvesting.
Fixed the Big Guano Collector so it provides the correct amount of guano.
Fixed the bug that caused building catalog and workbench list selection to change if the inactive mouse cursor was over them.
Fixed the bug that caused some buildings to drop below 0 health instead of getting destroyed.
Fixed the bug that caused the target practice side quests to trigger repeatedly.
Fixed the "Ghost Cop Who Crashes The Game" bug (hopefully... you can never tell with ghosts).

Final Testing
It’s been a while, but the game is almost ready for the full release. The story is finished, all of the new voice-acting came in, and we’re happy to announce that the game is now going through final internal testing.
We just need to squish some more bugs and add translations for the newest content.
You may have noticed that there are achievements listed on the store page right now - they won’t work for you just yet, but we need them there so that we can test them internally.
The next update to the game will be the full release. We’re super happy that we're so close to finally wrapping things up and actually finishing the game for you to enjoy!
