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

Game Update

Hello everyone! A fairly significant game update has been released. A number of new features have been added, as well as several changes to continue improving the gameplay experience.
