Future and Current Progress

Hello everyone! Since Quality Update #2, the team has thought of some improvements and has gotten feedback from others. As of this, this is purely an announcement for future content and concepts for future mechanics. Without further ado, let's get into it.

Future Content

This section expresses future content that is currently being worked on. This content will allow for more replayability and also allow for some more user control. these features are listed below.

Near Completion or In Testing Phase (Beta)

• The Queen Awakens... With this next content update, the Queen Bee shall appear randomly after clearing Hives or Curing enough Bees. She is not an easy boss, play against her at your own risk.
• Global Naming... This will allow for each player to make a custom name for their own identity. This will create more customization for other players and will create more diversity.

Currently Being Tested or Developed (Alpha Phase)

• Data Transferring... This next update will allow players to transfer their accounts between devices using a specific code that should ONLY be private to the user. This code can be replaced each device but that means the user will have separate accounts. The current code in the bottom right corner is only to show leaderboard placement and is not the data transfer code (though it does already exist in the game).
• Settings... This next update will also be adding a settings menu for such circumstances. This will allow for volume control, sound effect control, and particle effect control. Which this also means...
• New Visual and Audio Effects... This will mean that Menu Sound Effects and Menu Music will also be added into the game. Furthermore, we will add more particle effects and specifically a screen shake for when the Queen spawns.

Planned and/or Concept ideas for Future Updates

• More enemy types... This will create additional replayability with more bosses and enemies to gain points. 
• Multiple Levels... This will allow for greater implementation of bosses and enemies depending on levels. or...
• Bigger Map (With Waves)... This idea allows for enemy types to be spread out more and be presented through waves. More tough bosses the longer you last and could add more to the Leaderboard or Multiple leaderboards.
• Currency System... The currency system would NOT allow for real money to be used to obtain anything. Due to the account system currently implemented, it would not be wise or necessarily safe to allow for real money to be used to purchase any items or obtain in-game currency. Furthermore...
• Cosmetics and Items/Upgrades... This is in the air and would increase powerups or make powerups more powerful. This could also allow customization in the bears or maybe possible unlockable bears.
• On a more negative note; Ads... This  will not be too much of an issue in the future. We will not be bogging down the game with ads, it will only feature a singular or two ads (One certainly in the title-screen, another for other features).

Sooo... What does all of this mean?

Might be a question we will receive. Now this all means nothing bad but also nothing is certain. There is currently no true idea when this next update will come out. This is because we are beginning to have testing phases and are beginning to add more features for the next version. Another thing is that we can never be certain about future features. This is nothing different for us but this devlog changes that with ideas and the possible future of this game. After releasing the "Final" version of the game, we had not mentioned any future features and left it at that. Just a few months later, we had decided to update the game and continue from there.
