Game Update

A game update for Bconomy has been released. This release is light on gameplay changes, but upgrades have been made to the game’s infrastructure in preparation for future updates.

Changelog

  • Mystical Balls can now be used to enter the active Ball Pit with 5x the normal limit if no other balls have been purchased yet
  • Black Ball Pit limit has been decreased to 2.5M Balls (from Infinity)
  • Significant infrastructure changes
    • Game input and API request processing speed has been improved
    • Web Client loading has been optimized, especially for mobile devices
    • You may be occasionally prompted to complete verification during gameplay
      • 1x Lunar Shard is granted upon successful verification
      • This feature will be refined over time to maintain a good user experience

Up Next

Both Space Exploration and Generators Overhaul tied in the poll for Bconomy’s next major gameplay update! So, why not both? Maybe these systems can interact with each other in interesting ways…

Today’s update a lot of the groundwork for future updates, and also works to maintain the game’s health and longevity. I’m hoping to release another update soon with much-needed balance changes and QoL improvements, and then we can look towards adding some new major features.

As always, thanks for playing, and have a good night everyone!

Game Patch, Wiki and API

Hey folks! I’ve been making improvements to keep Bconomy awesome (mostly outside of gameplay updates). Here are some announcements:

Changelog

A small game patch was released today.

  • Skinulator and Auralyzer Specials are now functional
  • Quests that require finding Items worth over 500,000 BC will no longer generate
  • Ascension broadcasts no longer persist in Global chat logs
  • Beginner’s Guide and Game Wiki are now linked in UI (see below)
  • Performance improvements

Official Wiki

I’m excited to announce the launch of the Bconomy Official Wiki! It’s going to be our resource for documenting the game hosted on wiki.gg, a user-first wiki platform. Some community members and I have made some contributions to start, which includes several guides and community resources. I look forward to building upon the Wiki, and hope it will serve as a central knowledgebase for everything Bconomy players can rely on.

Data API

Following community requests, I’ve released the Data API, an official method of retrieving live game data from Bconomy. This resource can be used by third party tools that respect the Game Rules to fetch machine-readable game metadata, user profiles, market prices and more in real time. Check out the documentation to get started, and let me know in our Discord server if there’s any feedback or feature requests.

The Future

Soon after this post goes up, I’ll be running a poll in our Discord server to determine what the next major game update to Bconomy should be. All of the listed concepts will get implemented at some point, but the winning choice will get prioritized! Make sure to get your vote in before the poll closes in a few days.

Hope everyone’s enjoying the game otherwise. As always, thanks for playing!

Summer Stargazing

Summer Stargazing, the Summer 2025 Season, has finally arrived! This event’s Quest Rewards are Bconomy’s most epic yet, packed with Lunar Shards, rare items and all-new loot. The race is on for the elusive Trailblazer Trophy… so grab your boosts and get clicking!

I wasn’t able to add everything planned for this update unfortunately, but released it anyway to avoid further delays. Expect new gameplay features to drop throughout the coming weeks.

Well, go ahead and enjoy, and, as always, thanks for playing – and good luck out there!

Changelog

Quests

  • A new Season, “Summer Stargazing”, is now available in-game
    • Trophies for the previous Season have been distributed
      • Congrats to camf#125289 for winning the Trailblazer Trophy!

Faction

  • Active boost FP drain per second increased to 15M FP/s (from 1.5M FP/s)
    • This is a significant but necessary increase due to how powerful Faction boosts have remained since their introduction
    • This change allows maximum boosts to still be achieved, but now requires meaningful contributions from multiple Faction members to sustain

Pets

  • New Pet Species: Scorpion (Hunt)
    • Scorpion Genesis Eggs are now obtainable through this Season’s Quest Rewards
    • This Pet will remain unbreedable until the next Season begins
  • New Pet Skin: Sunkissed
    • This Skin is only obtainable through this Season’s Quest Rewards (as a Skinulator)

Specials

  • Skinulator: Applies its specified Skin to an owned Pet of your choosing
    • This Special’s functionality will be implemented in a coming patch
  • Auralyzer: Changes an owned Pet’s Aura to a different base one at random
    • This Special’s functionality will be implemented in a coming patch

Other

  • Significant game logic optimizations, moderation tool improvements and security measures have been implemented throughout the past few weeks

Mobile Apps and More

Hey folks! I’ve got a couple of major announcements to share today.

Bconomy for iOS & Android

Bconomy is now available on the App Store and Google Play for mobile devices and tablets! Add the game to your home screen and enjoy faster load times, improved performance and better gesture support. You can now also support the game with in-app purchases (available internationally). If you have a spare moment, I’d appreciate a review on the newly launched app – it helps out!

You’re able to link the app to your existing Bconomy account and sync your progress. There are some issues with Google/Discord login I’m working to resolve. If those fail, try linking an email.

Porting the game to mobile platforms was no easy task. A huge thanks to the game’s Supporters for helping cover the license fees, and also to everyone else who enjoys the game for giving me the motivation to do this. You guys rock!

Profile Customization

Introducing Profile Customization, a new feature available to all Supporters! Upgrade your Profile card with 10 high-quality custom backgrounds. Each one features handmade animations I’ve designed to make your Bconomy presence stand out. More will be added over time (…when I come up with new design ideas), but for now, give them a try and let me know what you think!

Home Page Revamp

The Bconomy home page has received a long-overdue makeover. It now includes an updated overview of the game, along with high-quality screenshots and app store links.

It also includes the Live Feed, an interactive element that displays current game activity in real time! It’ll be added in-game at a later date. Supporters currently have priority in showing up on the Live Feed.

New Season

Summer is upon us already, huh? Make sure to finish up those quests – there’s just 2 days left before the current season wraps up!

Getting the mobile app launched was a bit tedious, but I’m still on track to release the Summer Season in the next few days. Look forward to tons of Lunar Shards and other rewards to earn! Additional gameplay features will be arriving in the coming weeks as well.

It’s shaping up to be quite a big summer for Bconomy… buckle up everyone.

Another Pets Update

An update for Bconomy has been released, again with more features in preparation for the upcoming Summer Season. This one focuses on Pet-related features and enhancements, as well as additional quality-of-life improvements. Enjoy the update, and have a great weekend!

Supporter Pets

Supporter Pets are here! SP can now be used for Genesis Eggs that birth exotic Pet species. Following requests from some users, this has been added as a way to support the game outside of temporary boosts. Supporter Pets can’t be bred, and are purely cosmetic in nature (functioning identically to standard Pets).

Dragon (Fish), Phoenix (Hunt), Visitor (Explore) and Invader (Mine) are the Pets now available in the Special Store. Buyable Supporter Pets follow the current Season’s theme, and will rotate with each new Season (current set will remain until the end of the upcoming Season, “Summer Stargazing”). Get ’em while they’re still around!

Changelog

Pets

  • As previously announced, transferring pet ownership between users has been disabled
  • Pet breeding costs now reset daily (from weekly)
    • BC cost to breed Pets will remain, as it encourages collaboration with other players in collecting rare variants, as well as usage of Skin/Aura-boosting held items
  • Lineage: Interactively trace a Pet’s ancestry all the way back to its origins
    • You can now generate a sleek lineage tree for a Pet that traces its parentage all the way back to its ancestors
