Hey everyone! This months update mostly consisted of the two cutscenes we aired over on our Youtube. I do have some small pieces of concept art here and there but I think I'm going to start putting a heavier focus on pumping out playable updates instead. I will still try and put up the monthly written updates, but we are running out of pre-production content to show as we are mostly focusing on po...
2024-04-05 00:04:21 +0000 UTC View PostMy husband, hearing my pleas for help, has finally helped me figure out how to automate the keys. This will only work for brand new sign ups, so if you haven’t had your key yet please follow the current pinned message. All new sign ups will now get an IMMEDIATE email with their key and instructions

The intent of the Patreon was never to give customer facing builds. It was to give a behind scenes look into a game being actively developed. Before the Patreon "blew up" you were able to test Barnaby's chase before it had art or quality of life features.
We have repeat reports that the settings menu can cause the screen to lock, this issue has been known for a while. We do not fix it (currently) for the following reason:
It is important for us to follow our project plan to ensure...
2024-03-30 00:18:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe steam app will update automatically. A reminder that the only map that can NOT be streamed or recorded is Aristotle's tutorial. Please do not leak this else it may prevent future updates that feature unreleased songs

You can also grab a copy of the testing map, the updated fantoccio boss fight, and Barnabys chase sequence over there for £5. This will come in the form of an exe rather than a steam code. It does NOT come with Aristotles tutorial
We're so close to funding the full orchestra stretch goal at £116,000

Hey everyone! I've been crunching myself finishing off this Scrimshaw song (that will be releasing on the 12th with our new backer kit campaign) so I've neglected the key distribution for this week. I will be sure to send them out tomorrow, thank you for being patient with me!
Current Patreon testers will have also noticed we now have a testing map available where you can test each of the power ups.
To activate flight the current debug key is on the "." fullstop on your keyb...
2024-03-10 03:56:27 +0000 UTC View PostConcept of Billie flying by Ash!
Billies flight mechanic is now functional and in engine thanks to Derek's hard work. He not only animated it but programmed it all in. This will be in the new testing build going up later.
We are hoping to raise enough funds to record 20 minutes of live Big Band on 5 songs for the Billie Bust Up Game to replace the current MIDI instruments, and dramatically improve the impact of these final songs.
Stretch goals will allow us to fund a proper orchestra for all 14 songs in ...
We have some new upcoming builds, I'm slightly cautious about them as some of these CANNOT be streamed or uploaded as a lets play, so I need to have trust with this community to not leak things.
The next build will contain the following
Aristotle's tutorial (CANNOT BE STREAMED)
Changes:
- Ice power up changed, new animation and new system for aiming and firing ice
- Ice skating on water now recharges ice power when jumping ...

Long break between updates! Thanks for your patience as we took time off for New Years, but we're back and better than ever. Most of the team are actually together in person for the first time ever, meaning our motivation and team moral is high.
Lets go over what we've been doing, and then go over what's upcoming!
We are making small updates to the rigs we currently have that will hopefully serve to make the characters more appealing!<...
2024-01-13 23:02:49 +0000 UTC View PostSomeone in the house had a confirmed case of COVID and although I have no tests I have never felt this sick in my entire life. Today I feel slightly better but the fever is intense. I should be able to hand out keys soon, thank you for being patient with me 🥹
2023-12-02 14:13:22 +0000 UTC View PostNew sign ups, make sure to DM for keys for now. I'm afraid without our automated system it has become hard again for me to keep on top of new keys. Moving to Sweden last week has put quite the spanner in the gears!
edit: leaving a comment below does not count as a DM, I can't give you a key in the comment section, please direct message, comments are now locked to avoid this future confusion

2023-11-23 18:32:59 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! As mentioned before we are now in Sweden. The trip took 3 days...it should have taken one evening but due to constant issues, including our train breaking down due to a factory explosion, we were forced to stay the night in a hostel.
I will be giving out keys soon, probably tomorrow, potentially today if I can stay awake! Thanks for being patient with me <3
2023-11-22 15:07:00 +0000 UTC View PostTechnically you can still sign up if people drop off the tier and nab the slot, but I'm fine with giving 1-5 keys a day. I'll sort out distributing keys soon
2023-11-19 01:46:18 +0000 UTC View PostI will be temporarily pausing new keys whilst I move to Sweden. That means you will no longer be able to pledge to get the chase sequence to play. After that I will limit the members of the tier. This means you'll still be able to stay pledged and test, but no one new can sign up.
I will be limit the tier tomorrow evening UK time. So in about 16 hours or so! I don't know when ill be turning them back on. Need to settle in and figure stuff out
2023-11-18 02:43:20 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time for a Billie Bust Up-date! Next update we will be in Sweden again going to Spelkollektivet
Lets start with Elaine!
Scrimshaws song is coming along great, Luke has been preparing the puppet shows.

2023-10-31 17:47:20 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the delay in keys, my pc experienced a blue screen that required a fresh install of windows and I lost all my work. It's a new pc so not much was lost, but it still isn't working. Keys will be sent soon! I only recently was able to download the data for new sign ups
edit: keys sent!
