Is the Bug Forum for Barrage dead i.e. are bugs still fixed ?

[ferion]

I recently filed a bug report for a game of Barrage.
I saw that there are many open bug reports listed which are months old and still labed a OPEN.

Can it be that nobody is working on this game anymore?

thx

Can it be that nobody is working on this game anymore?

The last file change I see on the Barrage code base was made on 2025-09-10, and one of the three people listed as a developer no longer appears as an admin for the game in BGA Studio. It very well could be that no one is currently working on it. The vast majority of games are not developed by BGA itself, but rather by volunteers or people hired for fixed-term contracts. No one signs up to maintain the code base in perpetuity, especially if they aren't getting paid. We just have to hope as many bugs as possible are addressed while they are still active.

I do see that Tisaac is reviewing bug reports and responded to one 11 days ago (to mark it not a bug). A good number of bug reports are simply people not understanding the rules of the game, like complaining they can't produce energy when they don't have enough credits to do so.

thx for the info. Good to know.

Regarding the specific error I found (and posted on the bug forum): as I would consider myself as an experienced Barrage player, I am sure that my "bug" is indeed a bug.

Is this the one where you can't use Battista to take a coin with the architect? Because you can't do that. Architect can only use an action that has a single worker space, whereas the bank has an infinite worker space. From Battista himself:

I know about two bugs, both with Battista:

1) When you use architect to take a contract, you can then restart your turn and new contract appears and you can take that new contract. You can do this probably as many times as you want to find the best contract. I have never tried more than twice - in a game where I found that bug and I was not sure what is happening.

2) You can start building each found with 2 - 3 workers and leave 1W building action for later use of Architect double action - while rules say you must start building action with top left action, which is 1W.
