So mark your calendars, stock up on snacks, and get ready to immerse yourself in the ultimate bum lifestyle. We can't wait to see you on the streets of Bumsville in just three weeks!

We just need to squish some more bugs and add translations for the newest content.

You may have noticed that there are achievements listed on the store page right now - they won’t work for you just yet, but we need them there so that we can test them internally.

The next update to the game will be the full release. We’re super happy that we're so close to finally wrapping things up and actually finishing the game for you to enjoy!

Stay tuned for the exact release date :)
