It's here! The Version 7 update of Bconomy has gone live after months of frontend and backend work and extensive testing by our awesome Preview gang. With this update many difficult but necessary game balancing changes were made (refer to the December 2022 Changelog for more info) and we transition to a hybrid browser game with our NEW Web Client!
Head over to https://bcono.my/ to check out the new Web Client!
I've always wanted to make a browser experience, and as Bconomy has grown from a simple economy game to feature crafting, farming, pets and more, this upgrade made perfect sense. Check out music, SFX, animations, graphics, convenient shortcuts, text commands, and more along with in-game chat linked to our Community Discord server. Let me know if there are any suggestions or feature requests! It's only a start and we plan to add MUCH more as time goes on.
❄️ Winter 2022 Event
We're a bit late to the party but our Winter 2022 Event kicks off NOW! Grab quest rewards, refreshed Crate loot, and XP to collect Stockings, ❄️ Snowflakes and tons more loot! Celebrate with snowfall animations and holiday music on the Web Client! This event will run though January and February and more quests and quest rewards will be announced as time goes on.
⬆️ Bconomy v7.0.0 (continued)
☯️ Game Balance Changes
Significant game balance changes have been made to rank and Ascend costs, item uses, crafting, farming/generators, and more. These changes serve to compress progression as well as make day-to-day gameplay more dynamic and exciting with more items to collect. The primary purpose is to reel back many unbalanced elements that were introduced throughout our two-year history. Pacing (rank costs, etc) may be a bit slow but we plan to adjust as needed. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding through these significant changes.
☹️ Where are my Pets/Perks/Stocks/Trades/etc…?
Due to the massive scope of a rewrite of the backend game code, changes in data storage, and learning of how to code a front end UI (by one person!) unfortunately not all features were able to make it into v7. But don't worry! They'll come back as soon as possible and rebalanced to play a more significant goal in the overall game ecosystem. I don't have a hard ETA for these unfortunately but understand that reintroducing these features is my top priority for development after ensuring game stability. But don't fret, you haven't lost anything!
Closing Thoughts
This launch represents months of learning, coding, and testing and I hope you enjoy the new client and gameplay changes! There's so much to look forward to, with the Pet Expansion on the horizon, mobile apps for the game, and interactive gameplay online. Thanks for sticking around – and stay warm out there! 🙂
