ALT Dear Bear friends, It's been a year since we first posted about the 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 in these past twelve months 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 positive outlook and a steady workflow. The pace at which we’ve been able to work on the promised update and features has been affected. While we push through this, we will continue to patch the game with fixes for bugs and issues that you've been reporting (thank you). I wish I could go into more detail, but that’s all that I can share at the moment. For a bit more information, please visit bear.game/news Thank u, love u -Rares

ALT Dear Bear friends, 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 a port for a new platform. He will keep working on the game as much as he can.
