These are the roughs for the storyboards, Ash usually does a rough pass like this and then goes over it a second time in more detail, hence the stick models, however, I find they add a ton of personality in just the rough poses, and it might be a while ...

New Merch Incoming!
Hey Folks! I just want to address some questions I've seen in discord! For the merch tier you pledge once, you get one merch. This is not a one-time thing, you can claim every month. I originally would reach out each month but it would be easier if you can direct message me with your requests when you are ready to claim them

More work by Jovi for the treehouse! I love the amount of detail and work he puts into each environment, researching the history of the location to give meaning behind each design element. I'm extremely jealous of Billie, Lou, and Lily for having such an awesome treehouse.

Tiers on 5$ can test our WIP build of Fanto's boss fight, be warned it isn't easy! but he is the 4th boss in the game so it is expected for the player to be well versed in the controls.

Hey folks, now the somewhat final version of Fantoccio's song is done (still needs Michael to dub in) we are now entering testing for the boss fight.

All living beings are imbued with magic, however very few are able to channel magic from the world to affect things externally.
- Magic is just another form of energy and thus can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change states.
- You cannot artificially increase your inherent magic capacity, but the quality of the magic performed can be increased drastically with training and practice.
- There is no “cost” (I.E mana points) to channel magic as th... 2020-07-15 02:06:47 +0000 UTC View Post
[Script] Prologue, Troll Hunt
Here is the full script for the first section of gameplay for Billie Bust Up, which is also part of our vertical slice. We won't be sharing all our scripts as Ash would like to keep some of the story under wraps until it is in a playable state. We have added a spoiler channel to the discord chat to discuss any updates, now that we have finally reached the meat of the game and its story contents. You can download the script via the attachments, please mind this script may change th...

[Concept Art] My Love, My Life
Baby Billie tucked up in her own ears, only a few minutes old. Here Arthur, her father, sings a lullaby.
I've never felt this strong
I am invincible, how could this go wrong?
No, here, here's where we belong
I see a road ahead
I never thought I would dare to tread
I held you close to me
Felt your heartbeat and I thought I am free
Oh, yes and as one are we
In the now and beyond
Nothing and no one can break this bond

Jovi is currently doing some studies on the appearance of the goat village. Imagining what it may be like for a goats day to day life within their walls.
Being small pygmy goats, they rarely venture out and are extremely cautious. The goats have large walls around their perimeter and no goats may leave after nightfall. Billie defies these rules often, wanting to explore the enchanted forest nearby as she drags her friends along in search of mythical creatures and artifacts. <...

Fantoccio Boss Fight Sneak Peak!
We're almost done! but I want the boss fight to be as perfect as I can get it without external testing so that your feedback is more valuable to us (if that makes sense). If I'm still getting issues internally I want to do my best to squash them all, then any feedback you guys give us will be focused more on critiques towards the fight itself and ways we can improve it for a player with fresh eyes on the fight, as my main concern is with unfair boss fight cues as I already know what's coming,...

Throughout the level, Fantoccio has been forcing Billie to partake in his play in front of an audience of puppets he is controlling. Billie must help direct the play by picking different costumes, props, and set pieces as she adlibs via different dialogue options.
Her goal is to make the play intentionally bad to the point that Fantoccio becomes angry, commencing his boss battle, a big musical finale in a last-ditch effort to save his show. We are tempted to make multiple scenes f...
