We're going to EGX, and we will be at the booth every day! Dedicated meet up time with the entire team will be 2-4pm where we will be guaranteed to be at the booth to say hi and HOPEFULLY hand out stickers. You can also play the Barnaby chase sequence, which will have a couple of few updates not yet seen by Patreon

2023-10-01 15:26:01 +0000 UTC View PostI keep noticing people leaving comments on updates, the main patreon page, or emailing us for help with their key. I am unable to help you or access your patreon information this way. If you are experiencing issues with your key or haven't received one within 48 hours of signing up please send a DM. Also make sure you check your email and spam first ^^

What does that mean for Billie Bust Up? I can finally get back to work again.
It's been one of the busiest months of my life, lots of travelling, gamescom, hanging with online friends in real life, and attempting to figure out the final prepping stages of my upcoming wedding in a week. I spent so long time prepping for gamescom my mind went pretty blank the important things later that month. Hyper fixation is a blessing and a curse. Thankfully I had a lot of help from my family to ensur...

We've been busy with gamescom (and my wedding this Saturday), but its time to get back into full gear. Here we are experimenting with tears, an interesting challenge for a flat faced character, we needed Billie to be expressive, especially for the amount of trauma she's about to go through.
We are curr...
2023-09-07 19:23:18 +0000 UTC View PostHi there!
For my mental health I will only be distributing keys on week days. I need some full days off work. Additionally if you do not receive your key make sure to do the following steps
- Your key will be delivered to the email your Patreon is signed up with
-Check your spam/junk folder
- if you still have no key after 48 hours dm the account on Patreon not our email. We cannot access your information via email
-Please be patient and kind. After gam...

2023-08-31 17:00:41 +0000 UTC View PostWe had so many people sign up we have run out of keys so some empty emails were sent out without a key. Our program also crashed trying to send them out (it can't handle that many) so we may have to send them out manually too. I will keep you updated once we get the new keys requested from steam
2023-08-31 12:45:33 +0000 UTC View PostWe will be at gamescom and unable to hand out keys until we get back! thank you for being patient with us <3

I've been sat on this news for a while now, but Humble Games is publishing us!! It's so exciting to finally talk about this. You can catch the live announcement of the news here.
We will also be going to Gamescom! So come play the new build at our booth!! We won't be always at the booth but we hope to hang around and say hi to people. We will also be joined in person by Micha...

Please check your junk folder or put playtest@billiebustup.com onto your safe list. We have to run this program manually so we will be running it once a day, so don't expect an immediate response. This is a new ...
2023-08-10 11:58:06 +0000 UTC View PostYou can now play one hit mode with the Barnaby demo. Let me know how you do! We've also distributed more keys. I'm afraid I'm a little "blunt" with just handing the key over with no "how do you do". We're seeing a high volume of key requests, I just did 200 keys in one session -phew-
It's a wonderful problem to have but I need to try and get through the keys quickly to get back to making the game, I hope you understand! We do truly appreciate your support

2023-08-08 12:06:45 +0000 UTC View PostThank you for being patient with me, I was a day late with some of the keys but they're all handed out now. I got very very tired and crashed last night. It's been a crazy few weeks. I've been overworking myself for a special deadline (now completed) which I hope to share with you all soon! But on top of that I'm planning my wedding that is basically right on top of this upcoming special BBU event. I'm pretty tired right now, I won't be gone completely but I've been taking a small break to pr...
2023-08-05 10:47:20 +0000 UTC View PostWe've reached a significant internal milestone, and I can't wait to share the exciting news with all of you soon! However, for the time being, our updates might appear a bit smaller as we're moving beyond the concept art stages. The polished work we're completing now contains potential spoilers, so we have to be cautious about what we share.
A major shift is happening between our tiers. Previou...
2023-07-26 08:40:13 +0000 UTC View PostBarnaby's build for the 5$ is now "complete" and will not be receiving anymore updates/patches.
We are taking a break from Barnaby for a while but we will come back to the chase sequence eventually, I just need some time away from it before I work on it again.
For now the upcoming builds will be swinging back around to the start of the game. Although these segments are complete, they are bare bones and need a new coat of paint before we start testing. We will start by rewrit...
2023-07-20 02:26:32 +0000 UTC View PostPatreon has allowed us to switch to a new billing system. You will now be charged when you join and monthly on that same date, just like any typical subscription. This means you will no longer be charged twice if you joined late into the month.

We've been busy working on the chase sequence as mentioned above! Here's a look at the gameplay so far, still a WIP!

Here's a sneak peak at a newly rendered cutscene, it isn't finished yet but we hope you enjoy it!

We've been super busy, I've finally decided to take a break from my deadline to write up a patreon and Kickstarter update. Makes a nice break to reflect on everything we have accomplished. We have something exciting coming up in the next few months and we're working hard to reach the deadline. So lets get into it!
A large majority of our work goes into the cutscenes. We're now using a brand new system that is helped boost team morale. Instead of one animator tackling an entire scene it ...
