Barnabys rig is finished! I'd like to work on the face textures more to get the more accurate to Barnaby, but I'm happy with the final result

We raised $2512.50 for Doctors without Borders with the Fantoccio campaign, so a big thank you to everyone involved for helping with such a worthy cause ❤
Today is a very Barnaby themed update! Lets start with the plushie prototype

It's the end of the year and it's time for another update! It's been over a year since the Kickstarter and things are starting to pick up speed. I can't wait to show you everything that's been going on. We should hopefully have some fun announcements next year to share with you, we've been very busy planning but I've been enjoying the process.

Howdy, Patrons!!
Hope you've all been well and enjoying your November so far! It's finally time to show you guys some new stuff we've had brewing in the background!
Just like last time, Katie has typed up a special document filled with to the brim with new content that we've been working on from blockouts of early levels to even lyrics for our newest song!
Howdy, folks!
It's been a bit but I hope you've all been doing well! Just doing a quick update to let you know that our newest plushie, Billie & Oscar, is now available for purchase via Makeship!
It's the same price as the Fantoccio plushie, just $25.99 and will only be available for 21 more days from this post! There's a countdown timer on the top of the page if you ever want to see how much time there is
Howdy, everyone!
We're in the thick of the fall season and Halloween is creeping closer and closer! With the fall season in full swing, we thought it fitting to go ahead and clean up the Patreon, at long last! The front page has many new videos and gifs, reflecting the structure of the Kickstarter page quite a bit and, generally, looks a bit better to us!
Additionally, we've gone ahead and updated our tiers a bit. We've decided to officially remo...

Howdy, everyone!
Have we got a treat for you today! It's been a bit since our last full update, as we've been busy with MANY behind the scenes things, but we thought we'd go ahead and get you almost 40 pages worth of updates!! No joke!
We'd put it all in a Patreon post BUT things can get messy rather quickly so below is a hyperlink to a google doc that Katie has put together with TONS of new stuff! From new dialogue to concept art for Billie's song, Adventure!

Hey folks!
So the title says it all, the newest demo is going to need a little bit more time before we can release it to you for testing. Some things popped up on our end that required our immediate attention so we're unable to get the build out when we were initially anticipating to.
Apologies for the delay but we sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding with this and we'll do our absolute best to get it to you as soon as we can!
Have a great rest of your wee...
2021-09-02 00:43:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe new demo is coming out today/tomorrow! Just making some final tweaks.This demo will be Aristotle’s tutorial segment! It will naturally be a bit more slow paced than Fantoccio, as we need to aim more at teaching the player than making it as difficult and as fast paced as his battle. I hope this is ok! I hope you enjoy the song.

Gosh, it's been a while since an update! So we have quite a bit to go through. Alpha backers should expect a new build extremely soon with a whole bunch of new content. We're almost done polishing the Aristotle tutorial and we're blocking out Claw Bay!
So let's break this down into parts, for Aristotle's tutorial we have

Things have been incredibly busy on our end with important deadlines coming up and other health-related issues still getting in the way. As such, Katie has brought me on-board to help out with getting updates to you more frequently and with responding to DMs faster! It can quickly get overwhelming to take on as much as Katie does so I'll be doing my best to help out here, you can count on me!
I should properly introduce myself too! I'm Sam! I...

No singing currently! I removed it (sort of you can still hear it in the background), singing of the demo vocals will only be available for testers. Here is the full intro cutscene!
We also have lots of concept art for skyboxes for the tutorial
Now for some concept art for the tutorial! Areas are broken down into 2D and 3D assets

Some concepts for Aristotle's song! Gabe will be singing the demo, similar to Fantoccio's!
GAMEPLAY: Small spawned enemies start to fly at her quickly in time to the music, 8 at a time, then 2 more. If the player opens the umbrella in time to the music (BMP90) it will last long enough to not break or become ineffective. The player must successfully complete 4 rounds of this and then we ca...

If this does well, we can see future plushies of the main cast! We need to sell 200, and the money goes towards funding the game ♥

I've decided to swap the format slightly for Patreon! I used to sort by category but I don't want to spam multiple posts to your email. So I will continue to combine the posts into one big update thread.
Some concept art for some of the bits and bobs around the goat village! We will be using Houdini to speed up development.

Hey everyone!
Wanted to give a quick update regarding how things are going on my end as I feel bad leaving you all in the dark.
So it's been quite the rollercoaster recently in terms of my health. I was diagnosed with chronic appendicitis. The pain has been tormenting me for almost 2 months now, making it impossible for me to move, stand or sit at my computer. Unfortunately, as it is not acute, our free health care will not fix it, despite knowing my pain levels. Naturally, ...

I'm still sick! but progressing on getting it fixed <3 Big update of all our work thus far SOON
For now, here is a Lou idle animation Ash made and a WIP of how it looks currently, eyes are using Billie's mask so look a bit off, ignore that!
Hi everyone! A quick update to keep you all in the loop.
The team is doing extremely well and are sticking to plan, however, I'd like to apologize for the lack of updates. I have recently been diagnosed with some medical problems that will require treatment. It's been causing issues for a month now and I can hopefully see it fixed after Easter, but it has made it so I am unable to sit up for long periods of time, making it hard to update everyone. Usually, I'm quite a private person but...

Since we swapped to the new system of using unique beta codes each month for each new build, your key will now be permanent and will not expire. That means if you unpledged and repledge later you just need the new beta code! So if you are missing the original steam key and DO NOT have Billie Bust Up yet activated in your steam library then direct message me and I'll give you your own unique key!
Now have a WIP Aristotle walk

Exploring the map of the village a bit further. One interesting choice Jovi made was that since the goats live in the mountains and are fearful of the enchanted forest, that they would use stone more than they would use wood. Here are some gate studies
