Hello everyone! You may remember from a previous post that we had to change the way we handle key distribution and applied for new testing keys from steam. We plan to start testing a new build very very soon. This will be the first 15 minutes of Barnaby's chapter, including a test of his chase sequence. We will start distributing new keys and sw...
2023-04-28 11:42:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! It's been a hectic few weeks, it feels like everything is progressing so fast. Every day I wake up I think about Billie Bust Up, and when I fall asleep I hope to dream of it. I find myself fortunate to work on something I love so dearly, sometimes I'm scared of it coming to an end when we're finally ready to release. ...
2023-04-12 02:37:40 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! Steam recently limited the amount of keys we can have but have put in a new testing system we are currently applying for, which means we will be unable to distribute keys for a short amount of time. We are currently waiting on steams response. Thank you for being patient with us whilst we get this sorted!

Hey everyone! We're back with another update. Lets start with the most exciting part, final vocals!
Last week we finally replaced the scratch dialogue with the final vocals for chapter 1, The Goat Escape. Ash is now making the final storyboards with their performances in mind so that our animators can move onto cinematics!

2023-03-17 14:11:40 +0000 UTC View PostWe have some news to share - while we had originally planned on making BBU a co-op game with Oscar, after much deliberation and consideration, we've decided to shift our focus towards the core design elements of the game. We believe that if we wanted to make this an effective co-op experience it would require us to increase our scope and budget ...

2023-02-27 18:51:45 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time for another small update! Lets start with the juicy content first.
We have had some paid animation tests completed. Applicants were assigned some cutscenes to animate with our rigs. The cutscenes will be used and credited in the final game!
First up we have Fantoccio!

So as we move out of pre-production the updates are becoming more juicy and rapid and I'm starting to worry I'm spamming you a bit! Oops! I'm trying to do frequent updates to keep the updates more digestible. Would an update video perhaps be better? Thoughts? Once a month, once a week?

Hooooooowdy everybody!
It's your favorite Patreon Sheriff, back in town, ready to feed the people! It's July which means it's been about a month since our last update (Woah!). So let's talk about what we've been up to.
Grab a snack, a drink, and get comfy: It's Billie Bust Up-date time!
That’s right, the new build is ready to go!
Before we start, I've been delaying uploading the Prologue out of personal anxiety about the current quality (even if it IS an Alpha build of the game I have pretty high standards for my work). I intended to make some changes to the Prologue first before making it public, however, I think I nee...
