Things are happening!! As I write this the biggest BISC update since adding Sleds is on it's way through the Testing pool (Thank you testers, you're cool as hell) after which it'll be dropped into production for everyone to play.
Before that happens, I wanted to take a few minutes (for the 11 people who read the blog updates) to explain some of the new changes.
If you haven't set your options for the Home menu, first thing that should happen is you get these two screens, which let you choose between the old Menu interface, and the new Explorable interface. If you choose Menu, your experience will be mostly unchanged from the old system. However, if you choose Explorable, you get the new stuff we've been working on.
You also get to select your gender, which really just slightly changes the in-game model for your character. We've decided to include a nonbinary option. If you don't like that or it makes you mad, we reccomend you take a moment to look deep inside yourself and ask "Why do I really care" and go about your day.

Since the new Explorable layout requires a bit more interaction than just scrolling down a menu, we included some quick text about how to navigate the world and interact. All the interactions that were on the Menu interface are now actual buildings around the explorable home
 | Delivery menu has now become the "Deliver" building. Go there and interact with the building to select and start a delivery run. |
 | Similarly the $tore menu has become the $tore building. If you interact there, you can browse the day's dogs, items like Repair Kits and Delivery Licenses, and on Fridays, Jamie the Sled Trader |
 | Sled Yard has been replaced by the Workshop. Here you can swap out sleds, as well as repair your team's durability Pretty standard Workshop type stuff. |
 | Last but not least, the dogfeeding and Dog Yard menus have been turned into a big ol' drum of dogfood and an actual dog yard. Now you interact with the dog feeder to feed your team, or the special gold IAP feeder if you're still on a feeding cooldown The Dog Yard is where you manage your team. Review and care for your puppies, as well as optimize your team for maximum efficiency. |
That's most of the big stuff in Update 1.2 at this point. As always, happy people have been ejoying BISC, and I hope that with this update we've addressed some of people's complaints with the game overall. We've got some idea on expanding some of the high-level loops for BISC, but like everything else, it depends on where people's interest leads, and if/when we get a new project into development.
Alright. All that said, BISC update 1.2 will be available 12/15/2020 on Google Play.
