- Update - 30 September 2026
Some of you may know about my health issues over the last few years. I had a bone marrow transplant in January of 2025 for a rare disease called VEXAS and Blood Cancer. Since then, I have been dealing with complications from that transplant. A lot of the development of Bigfoot Life was done right from my hospital bed. The game means a lot to me.For the last month I had been admitted to the NIH (National Institutes of Health) in Maryland for some pretty serious health issues. I just got home a few days ago. I wanted to address this in case anyone thought that I just disappeared and stopped supporting the game. I will always do my best and support all of my games as long as I can. With all this being said. I thought maybe we could put any bugs, issues, or suggestions for the game all in one place. This will make it easier for me to go through once I am able to start working on the game ag…

- Bigfoot Life Price Adjustment - 5 January 2026
I've just permanently lowered the price of Bigfoot Life. The original price was based on playtesters recommendations and that on average it took each of them between 25-30 hours to complete the game in normal mode. I always continue to listen to feedback and it appears there have been some recommendations from players that felt the game could of been priced lower. I have listened and hopefully the new price is better. I will always do my best to listen to players of the game and continue to try and make the game the best game possible. I am aware that some players are still having performance issues with the groom fur. I have contacted Steam and Epic Games and so far I have not found a solution as to why some high end machines are having performance issues while lower end machines like the steam deck do not. I am still continuing to look for a solution to this problem. If by chance you…

- Bigfoot Life “Transplantaversary Sale!” - 18 December 2025
For longtime followers of the game’s development, my journey has been an important part of Bigfoot Life from the very beginning. Much of the game was created during hospital stays including work done from my hospital bed battling VEXAS and Blood Cancer. Working on Bigfoot Life got me through some incredibly difficult times. My bone marrow transplant donor gave me a second chance at life. Even though the game game just recently released, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate that than by giving the game a huge 75% Off discount so more players can have access to it. It will be on sale starting today and continue through the Steam Winter Sale. I want to personally thank my donor and thank anyone who has ever been a donor of any kind. You are a blessing, and I wouldn’t be here today without people like you. Thank you so much for all the support. Every message, every review, every playe…
- Game Update Now Live! - 3 December 2025
The newest update for Bigfoot Life Just went live. Below are some of the updates. Wood or Tree Knocking This will allow you to use your Bigfoot Points for things. You will also have the chance to visit the Land of Mystery where you just might meet a few fellow Cryptids. Look for the dead trees that look like this. Woodknocking menu. First Person Camera Mode You will now be able to choose a First Person Camera Mode. It will be the same as Bigfoot Vision but without all of the Bigfoot Vision Stuff. New Hair Card Fur Option I have not figured out the cause yet but for some reason some PCs or GPUs are having issues with the Groom Fur that is being used for the fur on Bigfoot. Some pretty low end computers are able to play just fine with good performance. I've even heard the game runs well on the Steam Deck. Looking at some of the reviews however, it appears some pretty high end machines are…
- Upcoming Update and Transplantaversary Sale! - 27 November 2025
I wanted to take this time to give more information on the upcoming update and to announce that during the Steam Winter Sale Bigfoot Life will be having a really big sale to celebrate my Transplantaversary (my re-birthday or one year anniversary of my bone marrow transplant.) Transplantaversary Sale! For anyone that followed the development of the game you are already aware that I had a bone marrow transplant that saved my life. I can't think of a better way to celebrate this than to give a huge discount on the game. Working on Bigfoot Life got me through some really tough times the last couple of years. A lot of the development was actually done on my hospital bed. I wanted to take this time to personally thank my donor who has given me a second chance at life and helped the game become a reality. Also, thank you so much to anyone who is or has been a donor of any kind for anyone. You…
- Wood Knocking Feature Coming Soon. - 19 November 2025
Wood/Tree Knocking has been the most requested feature players would like to see added to the game. I'm working on the feature now. This will also allow you to use your points now for something. Maybe even get enough to check out the Land of Mystery..... Thanks! -Wes Planet 47 Games
- Game Update! - 16 November 2025
Another build just went live with a few updates and fixes. Everything should now work with a controller, and it should now feature Full Controller Support. If something is not working with a controller, please let me know. The special gift for the female Bigfoot should keep the heart icon attached to it. The invert Y setting should now load correctly when you start your game. A few more minor optimization fixes. Thank you! -Wes Planet 47 Games
- Update suggestions and opinion on artwork. - 16 November 2025
I am currently working on some updates for Bigfoot Life. I thought it would be good to reach out to players of the game and possible future players to get some feedback and suggestions. Are there any current issues or bugs still that need fixed? If so, what are they? What are some things that you would like to see in an update? It could be more animals, features, etc. Not saying everything will get added in the update but getting feedback from actual players of the game will help out a lot. I have received some feedback from a few people that the current steam capsule and artwork for the game needs to be improved. Before I make any changes, I again thought I should reach out and get players or future player feedback on it I have been working with an artist and below is what I have now for the possible new artwork for the steam capsule and small header thumbnail for the game. I wanted to…
- Another Small Patch - 12 November 2025
Another update just went live. -There was a bug that sometimes would not allow you to enter another Bigfoots Cave when you were at Bigfoot Level 4. This should now be fixed and as long as you are at Bigfoot Level 4 or have Bigfoot Speed Level 2 you should be able to enter the cave. I wanted to address this one right away because it could prevent you from moving on to Level 5. Thanks again to everyone who has played and supported the game. I am doing my best to address any issues and make this the best game it can be. -Wes Planet 47 Games
- Small Patch - 10 November 2025
A new build just went live. There was an issue where if you were to roar while doing things like eating or picking up it could sometimes make things unresponsive. This should now be fixed in this latest update. Thanks! -Wes Planet 47 Games
