Thank you for playing Beetle Forest!
We have just released the v1.2.0 update, which includes new features, gameplay improvements, and bug fixes.
■ Main Updates
1. New Feature: Beetle Encyclopedia
・Added a new "Encyclopedia" tab to the Options / Pause menu.
・Inspect 3D models of beetles you have caught with full 360-degree rotation.
・View rarity ratings (★) and detailed information. Undiscovered beetles appear as "???", providing a rewarding collection experience.
・Your discovered beetle collection persists across playthroughs in your save data.
2. New Content: 15th Journal Entry Added
・Added a 15th collectible journal entry hidden within the forest.
・Provides subtle hints regarding the special beetles hidden deep within the woods.
3. Gameplay & Exploration Improvements
・Enhanced Night Patrol Behavior: Optimized the patrol paths of wandering threats in the night forest. Failing a beetle catch at night now attracts nearby threats toward the disturbance, heightening the tension of night exploration.
・Special Beetle Spawning Balance: Improved spawn conditions to prevent already-captured special beetles from repeatedly spawning and clogging your cage, ensuring smoother story progression.
4. Bug Fixes & Stability
・Ruins Monster Detection & Respawn Polish: Overhauled monster proximity and capture detection in the late-game ruins area, eliminating phantom detections and respawn collision issues.
・Game Over Flow Fix: Fixed an issue where game-over sequences could trigger consecutively under specific conditions.
・UI & Layout Optimization: Optimized font scaling and text layout across different resolutions and languages.
