Reki here. I think of the titles for these updates on the spot as I write the patch note announcements. So don't get your hopes up, there isn't a pantheon of 20 immortals with complex, multi-phase boss ai for you to slay. There are a lot of new items and achievements though!


This is the development cycle of bsurf. As I fix issues from the previous patch, I can't help adding some more content, and thus more issues, inflating what was meant to be a small bugfix patch to a larger one. This way, even though the game isn't very popular, it can get some frequent content updates, depending on how long it stunlock combos me into developing more. I think I'm breaking out of the combo for real this time, though.

Thanks very much to anyone who's had fun with the game. While some may say it's not even worth 50 cents, I know that's not remotely true thanks to those who loved it and swapped stories about interesting things happening in their world. I designed this game to give the player stories to tell, so nothing makes me happier. Of course, there are actual critiques out there I'll always accept as valid, but for now, the game should be in pretty good shape for players capable of mastering it.

That's all outa me. Enjoy the update.
