Hey folks – I'm currently holding a casual Q&A session for the next 24 hours on the Bcommunity server about the game, its future, and everything in between. Hopefully this will become a monthly or bi-monthly event. Drop by if you have the time!

Hey folks! Just wanted to provide a quick update. Unfortunately I've been recently busy as of late but be on the lookout for (hopefully) multiple updates coming out soon.

-Finger Snap rework: Becomes an innate ability at Tier I and only affects yourself
-Finger Snap perk: Boosts finger snap power and lowers cooldown rate
-Random Events comeback: Now stack with finger snap! Rarer but more meaningful
-Web Client fixes, revamp, notifications
-Return of trading/giving/market improvements
-Balance changes, especially for higher Prestige lvs

Additional note: Campaign ends on February 15th and rewards will be distributed. Be sure to squeeze out those last few quests before then!

Best,
-Wewert

Happy holidays everyone! Today's update will be rather short but just a heads up that all patrons who subscribed after the Oct 1, 2022 billing cycle have been refunded due to imbalances in the ecosystem. I was personally dissatisfied with the state of the game at that time and decided to refund all who subscribed on Patreon after that time because I felt issues in balance and quality were not addressed. You may keep any items or rewards you received from subscribing. Please do not resubscribe at this time – you will not be able to claim any rewards! We are working to reopen our Patreon page after more content is reinstated and you can resubscribe any time after. More news and updates are right around the corner, including the return of Boost Events and a complete rework/buff for Finger Snap – so stay tuned!

Another reminder that Bconomy Official Hub (linked through our website, https://bcono.my/) is the ONLY OFFICIAL DISCORD SERVER for Bconomy! Don't get scammed! We will NEVER attempt to contact you through DMs or request irrelevant information. If you need account or donation support please only open a ticket through our official server and only accept Bconomy support through our ticket system! Community server staff are not officially affiliated and as such cannot help with account issues or bug reports.

Again, a rather brief update but there's a lot coming up! Happy holidays and 2023 is looking brighter than ever 🙂

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! 🙂

⏱️ Due to personal scheduling reasons the v7 update will be pushed a bit earlier to 12/18

The web client preview has been updated to a near-final state! You can check it at https://bconomy.net/ (report any bugs in chat!)

️ Long-awaited bCommands are returning! (bw, be, bf, etc) – due to Discord limitations they will only be available in the Community server upon the v7 release.

❄️ The 2022 Winter Event is just around the corner! Sit by the fire and relax with a new campaign, more items, and Web Client theming/music!

✨ Due to game balance changes many Prestige Perks will be temporarily disabled as the new ecosystem settles.

Pet features will be temporarily disabled as well (I will work to get these back ASAP once v7 is stable)

️ Voting has been replaced by Daily Rewards which grant Quest Rewards and Shards in addition to crates. These will be claimable from the Web Client (no ad-viewing required!)

This update has been in the works for months and I've spent hours creating the Web Client and rebalancing the game, and I'm so excited to finally release it! Looking forward to the launch date 🙂
