Furdiburb: The Firefly Game Update (Version 0.21beta)

Furdiburb - the alien virtual pet
Hey everyone! It’s your favorite virtual pet alien here. Phew! What a tough update! It is finally out. Here are some new things you can expect.

  • Vacuum Tube – Another spaceship part! How do you get it? You know the drill – we’re not telling.

  • Mount Brimstone – A dormant volcano to the West of Furdi’s home. What happened here? Who is the poor lonely soul that lives within?…
  • Lightbulb Antenna – While you check out the new mountain, make sure to swing by Crabidab’s shop to grab the odd new antenna mutation. Where’s the light switch?

  • Firefly Swamp – A soggy swamp to the East of Furdi’s home. There is a new mini-game here – The Firefly Game – with a new song.
    • To play, you must apply the Lightbulb Antenna mutation (from Crabidab’s shop), drag Furdiburb to the lily pad, then press and hold on the lily pad to zoom into the mini-game.
    • To control Furdi, tilt the phone left and right.
    • The goal here is to charge up your lightbulb antenna by collecting yellow bugs and avoiding all other bugs.
  • Castle Furniture – The Bagua Brothers have been busy with new furniture pillaged… errr, I mean….created for you! Great for the royal family!
  • A New Way to Get Gold Poop – We’ve added another way you can get gold poop via incentivized downloads! You can access this option through Inventory -> Get Gold Poop -> App Download. Note: After downloading the app, you must run it in order to receive your reward. Rewards may take a few minutes to be delivered. Check often for new offers!
  • Bug Fixes – Thanks for reporting them bugs!

As always, Get it On Playthank you guys so much for your patience and support. This update was our toughest yet – we’ve been working on this non-stop since our last update! Now we’re itching to start work on the next one. Stay tuned for more!

Furdiburb: The Farm Update (Version 0.20beta)

Furdiburb - the alien virtual petHey Furdiburbians! Your favorite virtual pet alien here with a whopper of an update!

  • New Spaceship Part – This update includes the new space ship part – the A.I. Core . How do you get it? We’re not telling! =)
  • Farm Land – Now you can grow some flowers on Jed & Red’s Farm, located to the West of Tehura’s grocery shop. The barn shop sells flower seeds and fertilizers for your planting needs. Growing and then selling the flowers at The Factory can make you a lot of credits in the long run. The more fertilizers a flower takes, the more credits it will produce. Go check it out!
  • Mutation Potions – Crabidab has new mutation potions in stock:
    • Lightning rod – This rod allows you to catch fish with little delay. This rod wears off the slowest.
    • Anime eyes – for the expressive and emotional aliens
    • Antenna mutations – Do you need another eye or “bling bling”?
  • New Fungus Among Us? – A new species of mushroom has been spotted in Furdiburb world. What does it do! Should Furdiburb eat it? Yes, of course! Look for it!
  • Major Spaceship Change – In Star Quest, we moved the spaceship to appear early in the game, before you reach Mars. We discovered that most users do not find the spaceship to realize that there is more to this game – fixing up the spaceship so that you can send Furdiburb home one day. So, now it is easy for users to get to the spaceship. However! We still want people to play Star Quest and get to Neptune, so we’ve planted a spaceship part – Orb – at Neptune instead. For those of you that have already gotten the spaceship the long, difficult way, we will give you Orb so you don’t have to replay Star Quest. To summarize the spaceship with its FIVE parts:
    1. Spaceship – play Star Quest, it will appear before you reach Mars
    2. Orb – play Star Quest, located at the far reaches of the galaxy (at Neptune)
    3. Windshield – Fishing Quest
    4. Propulsion bulb (purple lightbulb) – Music Quest
    5. Gravitometer – Nightingale Quest
    6. A.I. Core – Farm Quest
  • Quest Givers – Along the same vein, we have planted “quest givers” on important scenes to hint to the user “hey you should do something here” without giving too much away. These quest givers should be unobtrusive, and we love that they add more life to Furdiburb’s world!
  • Get Gold Poop – If you click “Get Gold Poop” in the inventory, you will see an option to gain 5 gold poops if you Facebook “like” Furdiburb. You can only do this once, so try it!
  • Various bug fixes – Thanks for reporting them bugs!

As always, thank you for your patience! The three of us really appreciate it!

Furdiburb Beta: Version 0.18beta

Furdiburb - the alien virtual petGreetings Furdiburbians!

Your favorite stinky mutating virtual pet alien here to announce that our latest update is now available in Android Market! Go get it!! We have added lots of new technical features.

  • Lite is now Beta – To repeat our earlier announcement, Furdiburb – Lite is now Furdiburb – Beta. We decided to make it so you won’t have to pay for the full version of Furdiburb, and with that, we are changing the title of this app to Furdiburb – Beta! This is only a name change. Keep your current version and update it like usual – there will be only one version of Furdiburb in the market at any time!
  • Instructions System – This feature has been requested the most by users ever since Furdiburb first started. Even if you have played this game and know it inside and out, the instructions will appear until you perform the action.
  • Autosave – It is finally here! Now the game will save state automatically every couple minutes and, of course, when you exit the app.
  • Screenshot Capability – See something interesting in Furdiburb? Want to show your friends your awesomely customized Furdi house? Take a picture by going to Menu -> Take a Picture. You can also share screenshots on Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, and others!
  • House Scrolls (change) – House scrolls are now permanent. You only have to purchase these once.
  • Golden Poops – The Golden Poop or “Kin No Unko” is derived from a Japanese pun based on the resemblance between the words “luck” and “poop”. Yes, lucky golden poop! Make sure you visit Furdi at least once a day to collect the gold poop. If you would like to purchase gold poop, access the inventory and hit the Buy button. As Furdi gets older, he produces bigger, more valuable poopies.

    Golden Poops will be used for buying luxurious items. Don’t want to collect or buy Golden Poops? That’s ok! You will still be able to progress through the entire game without spending a single Golden Poop.

    Please note: some Android devices do not have the ability to purchase additional Golden Poops.

  • Houses and Furniture – Veroosh and his brothers at the castle have lots of new furniture and huts available! Check it out!
  • Music Relics – Two new music relics are available at Junkybot’s shop. As you progress through the levels, to make the puzzles more challenging, it will give you less and less hints (whether the correct note is higher or lower). Instead, your note will be replaced with X if it is incorrect.
  • Mutations – two new mutations are available at Crabidab’s shop. One will make you feel pretty and the other will make you feel funky.
  • Various bug fixes – Thanks for reporting them bugs!

Furdiburb - BetaWe appreciate your patience as you wait for each update for our lovable virtual pet alien. We hope you enjoy this update of many new technical features. We look forward to returning to the adventurous updates.

Furdiburb – Big Announcement

Furdiburb - the alien virtual petHello Furdiburbians!

In this update, we are addressing many long-neglected features and ideas. We are currently working on:

  • New mutation(s), houses, and furniture
  • Furdiburb sleeps anywhere
  • Harder music puzzles
  • Instruction system

And now, for our big announcement:

After much deliberation, debate, struggle, tears, and the breaking of dinner plates, we’ve decided that Furdiburb – Lite will now be Furdiburb – Beta!!!! =)

Wait….What’s the difference?
We decided to make it so you won’t have to pay for the full version of Furdiburb, and with that, we are changing the title of this app to Furdiburb – Beta! When we first got together to create Furdiburb, our preliminary plan was to create a Lite demo version to draw in users, and then offer the Full version for a price. This practice is very common. But after much discussion, we realized, “why exclude those who don’t want to pay to play the game all the way through? This would make our game less popular!”

So instead, we decided to make all of the main gameplay free to play. While the game is unfinished, it will carry the Beta suffix in its title. Furdiburb – Beta as you know it will eventually become the complete full version! We will continue working on this game so that one day, Furdiburb will fix up his spaceship and return home, and you won’t have to pay for that experience.

This has been an incredible journey for us. We started out creating a virtual pet that simply got hungry and pooped. Players emailed suggestions to us, and see how the game has evolved greatly over time! =) Along the way we’ve connected with fans on the Facebook page who are helpful and funny (and made great fan videos).

So, as always, we want to thank you for your patience and support. Seriously – we could not have gotten here without you!
