Guides for the BUG Clicker desktop pet

The developer ships an in-app guide with eleven chapters. It is a click-through inside the program, not a set of public article URLs, so the pages below restate the parts that answer a specific question and link the developer site as the source. The order here follows that guide: install, first launch, the right-click wheel, Character Studio, parts, lines, reminders, reactions, sharing, sales rules, and the short FAQ.

Make a character, then bring it in

Everyday setup

The right-click wheel has six buttons: pin on top, show parts, capture mode, settings, close this character, and close everything and quit. Tray, Customize, Character Studio is the other door into the editor.

Questions

Where is the official manual?

Inside the app, and the same chapters are linked from bugndev.web.app. There is no separate docs site with one URL per chapter.

Do I need Photoshop?

You can load a PSD, add PNGs, or drop files on the stage. The template is a convenience, not a requirement.
