- HANK HOODIE & LITTLE BEAR UPDATE - 19 December 2024
Little Bear Update Hello everyone. I’m Rareș from the Bear team and this is a little end of the year update about Bear and Breakfast and the people behind it. We’ve been keeping quiet these past weeks and months, and like last time, I’d like to apologize for the radio silence. It’s been hard to focus on anything other than the ongoing issues we’ve been facing. About the team: It's been a year since we first posted about the serious health issues that our team is facing, namely our lead artist having been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. For the three of us, confronting this situation has been difficult. Unfortunately, I don’t have a positive update to share at this time. We’re still dealing with the consequences of the disease affecting our colleague, friend and loved one as best we can while trying to keep a steady workflow and positive outlook. About the game: Work on Bear and Br…

- Stardew Valley style hotel sim Bear and Breakfast currently free to keep - 4 October 2024
You've been out hiking all day long when the sun begins to set. After trudging through dense forest for hours you see, in the distance, a warm, welcoming light. Getting closer you see that it's from a bed and breakfast establishment, offering refuge to travelers needing a break. Upon entering you find that it's run, not by a human like yourself, but by a lovely big bear named Hank. In Bear and Breakfast you play as that ursine creature, and it's your job to make sure the people staying in your B&B have a lovely time. If that sounds like your jam, it's currently free to keep. Read the rest of the story...

- State Of The Bear (and Breakfast) - 27 June 2024
State Of The Bear Hello everyone. This is not a political management spinoff game with Bears (although..), but it is an update about Bear and Breakfast and the team of people behind it. I’d like to start by apologizing for the radio silence. We’ve been focusing on health related things that have left us kind of physically and mentally exhausted. It’s been a while since we’ve told you what’s been happening with the team and Bear and Breakfast, so it’s time to rectify that. TL;DR about the team: We’re doing okay. Our Art Director, Ioana’s been undergoing treatment for breast cancer for the past 8 months and will soon go through surgery, followed by radiation therapy. We are currently cautious, but hopeful. TL;DR about the game: Work on the free update we announced some time ago is still ongoing and we’re doing our best to have it ready to ship this year. We have a couple of smaller, but s…

Hey bearst friends, We're pushing yet another small patch fixing some issues that were reported through our Support Page. 1.8.25 Patch Notes - Bear and Breakfast 28 FEB 2024 Bugs And Fixes Fixed Guests not using the Movie Theater. Fixed loss of control in Build Mode caused by using Mouse & Keyboard to open a Build Menu panel, right after the selection was made using a controller. Adjusted control system to keep Controller scheme layout if no control scheme is detected, as opposed to fallback to Mouse & Keyboard (even though some platforms don’t have M&K). Fixed loss of control while in Builder -> Main Inventory after using “R” to jump to scene while having a furniture object currently picked. Fixed Inventory Panels sometimes resetting their scroll status, losing focus of previously selected inventory item. Adjusted Inventory Extras and Filters controller hints. Made them bigger, and pos…

- End Of The Year Wrap-Up - 22 December 2023
Hello bear aficionados, Last month we shared the unfortunate news that our team is dealing with some very serious health issues. Here's an update about that: Ioana is doing well. After going through about a thousand tests to confirm the type of cancer we're dealing with, she's started and finished her first round of systemic treatment and she'll be doing a couple more months of that before we do another round of tests to see how well she's been (hopefully) kicking its ass. It's still very early, but we are hopeful and also incredibly grateful for the many many kind messages and the overwhelming support! Steam Winter Sale is ON As far as Bear and Breakfast goes, we're very much dedicated to delivering the expansion update as soon as possible. It's a slower process now, but if things go well on the treatment side we hope to complete the work sooner rather than later. This has been a weird…

- Hotfix Number TWO! Patch 1.8.22 - 28 November 2023
Main Menu Freeze Fixed! Hello for the third time in such a short while! We finally found what was causing some players to experience an unresponsive main menu. We spent the majority of our day installing an launching the game on almost 20 laptops, PC and everything in between, trying to find the common thread between all of these machines and we found that it wasn't a performance issue. As it turns out, a recent flag in one of our controller updates affected any device that had touch capability, disabling input if touch was enabled (for instance to disable the trackpad on a Dualsense 4). This is why a pretty large but inconsistent number of you were affected. The recent hotfix should fix this. 1.8.22 Hotfix Patch Notes - Bear and Breakfast 28 NOV 2023 Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that disabled input for the game on some touch capable devices. Thank you to everyone for being patient and to thos…

Upon closing this menu, the game should auto update to the previous version and you should be able to play. We'll keep you updated on the status of the bug fixing. Sorry for the inconvenience!…
- Patch 1.8.2 - A message from the Bear Team - 27 November 2023
Dear Bear Friends, While this is a regular game update news post, I would also like to tell you about the state of us, the Bear crew (especially for those of you that don't follow us on socials where we've already relayed this message): For the past few months we have been tinkering away at Bear and Breakfast, working on the plans we outlined last summer. We've been very lucky to have a small but great team of 3 people able to work on this full time. We've recently learned of some serious health issues that will impact our team which we'd like to share with you. Unfortunately, our art-director Ioana has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. She will focus all of her efforts on treatment and getting better. This also impacts Rares, our game director and Ioana's husband of 12 years. Our lead programmer Andu has been hard at work updating the game, fixing bugs and preparing…
- Roadmap Update and Merch! - 10 July 2023
Hello friends (and enemies ːccskullː )! I'm back with a bunch of news about the Bear Game™. We've been hard at work on things both in and out of the game for the past few months that I wanted to share. So here goes! HANK PLUSH Arguably the most important piece of news, icymi is that we have a HANK PLUSH!! We're working with Makeship which sort of works like a kickstarter for plushies, and there's just over 10 more days to nab a Hank Plush for yourself! VINYL SOUNDTRACK We've also launched a couple of physical editions of the game, and alongside them the Official B&B Soundtrack on Vinyl! The soundtrack is composed by Andrew Landry and the cover art was made in actual plasticine by the amazing cobcris. DIGITAL SOUNDTRACK If you're not a vinyl votary, we've also released the soundtrack digitally to almost everywhere you listen to music on, including on Spotify, Bandcamp as well as a Youtub…
- Patch 1.7.3 - Japanese support! - 14 March 2023
Hullo bear enjoyers! We're pushing a small, but important update to Bear and Breakfast today. Some of the more keen eyed among you might have noticed earlier versions of Japanese being available in the language options. Today we're officially launching full Japanese localization for the game! Bear and Breakfast isn't extremely text heavy, but it's not exactly short either, so adding an entire new language is a bit of a journey. Thanks to our friends at Kakehashi Games for helping localize the bear game in Japanese! However, this is not the last language we'll be supporting for the game and we'll announce our plans for future language expansions soon. We've also been working on a lot of behind-the-scenes fixes and improvements to the game's base code, a few of which are present in this patch. Our goal is to cut down on technical debt accrued during the game's development and improve stab…
- Regarding pricing in certain regions - 12 January 2023
Hey, bear enthusiasts! Wanted to give you all the heads up that Bear and Breakfast will have its price adjusted in certain regions starting today, in order to line up with our current US base price ($19.99). Most platforms, including Steam, provide pricing conversion guidance for developers which helps us convert our base USD price into reasonable amounts for every other region in which our game is available. Steam has recently updated these recommendations and we will be amending our pricing accordingly. Most regions will see a small or no change at all, but a few will see more noticeable increases. This is due to two main things: Currency exchange rates have shifted quite a bit since Steam last made recommendations, so this update catches us up to current rates. Naturally, currency values change all the time, so Steam plans to update these recommendations annually. Many professionals…
