Bugão’s Small Favor development changelog

The game is in development. These are internal version milestones, not public releases. No game download or testing date is available yet.

Back to the game.

0.3.0 — October 7, 2026

• Updated to Core Engine 0.5.0 and integrated its performance profiler.
• F8 opens the panel after the introduction. Sampling starts only when requested, and the detailed panel owns input while inspection is open.
• Kept the profiler separate from the game’s CRT effect and coordinated its input with private dialogs.
• Verified the integration in a native macOS Apple Silicon build, including keyboard controls and live menu measurements. This is not a performance benchmark.

Progression balance and complete playtests remain pending. Run-duration upgrades and special-asteroid previews are still pending work outside this version.

0.2.0 — October 5, 2026

• Added permanent discoveries of copper, aluminum and titanium, starting with iron and silicon.
• Connected discoveries to upgrade costs, visible resources and materials in subsequent runs.
• Added explicit recovery actions when stored progress or preferences cannot be read safely.

Save compatibility: the development checkpoint format changed. Older incompatible saves are preserved and require an explicit recovery choice; they are not silently replaced. Progression balance remains under review.

0.1.0 — Initial development baseline

• Built the opening, menu, settings, timed runs, resource HUD and results screen.
• Added asteroid orbits, collisions, damage, fragmentation, resource absorption and permanent upgrade choices between runs.
• Added local checkpoints, English and Brazilian Portuguese, original audio, visual feedback and optional VHS/CRT presentation.
• Established native macOS Apple Silicon validation; other platforms need their own runtime checks.

Art, campaign pacing and balance remain in development. The public summary records committed milestones; the studio keeps a more detailed local implementation history.
