Hi everyone! 🐐💙 Our last post raised a lot of questions regarding the end of the Credits reward. As promised, here are some answers! Why are you removing the credit reward from the Oscar Best Boy tier? We’re removing this reward as we wanted to have enough time to ensure we add all the supporters'

This give you over a month to subscribe or upgrade to that tier to secure your name in Billie Bust Up’s credits! We’ll post updates every now and then

Cutscenes are currently being scored and mixed! We have over 1 hour of cutscenes and I love how they're coming out. Sharkspeares eyes aren't hooked up yet, along with some missing mouth textures, and a slightly jarring cut to the song... all easy things to fix but if we keep waiting to show you thin

Hi everyone! A new update has been posted, be warned the game is in a very buggy state! If you want to play more stable builds check the archive. We recommend deleting your save file before starting, press “0” to access the debug menu Dutch's dance battle now has a new segment at the start! We are s

As we reach the end of our journey, we want to thank everyone for getting us this far. This game started small but grew with community support. We even managed to hire an entire orchestra to bring this musical game to the next level thanks to all of you. This game was built with passion and love and

The end to Elaine's song! I think we have like roughly a movies worth of cutscenes, no joke

Fantoccio and Billie are now...best friends ✨ I'm not sure how many more non spoiler cutscenes I can show as a lot of our cutscenes prioritise big plot moments, I probably have a few more! I can also show some non spoiler shots of spoiler cutscenes

Billie and Aristotle meet for the first time! This sequence used to be a lot longer but we moved the dialogue to gameplay so you're not stuck listening to Aristotle ramble about the "good ol' days"

We have reworked the first two chapters to include some new songs and sequences to make the pacing better for the story. Here we meet Eepy, Fancyfur and Spoons. In the Maya editor they don't look particularly great as they're missing their custom skeletons, but you can see what they'd look like here

A lot of cutscenes are being finished up, whilst most are spoilers we have a few non spoiler ones for you!

Hi everyone! just in case, DMs are not being answered during the winter break. We're away celebrating New Years eve with some friends abroad, but ill be back and will be able to respond to any enquiries or help you may need soon! Our break ends on the 3rd but I'll try and find some time before this

We're bringing back the Fantoccio plushie for 20 days, his gem glows in the dark! Once the 20 days are up he will be gone for good, so nab one now if you'd like one, all funds go straight back into the game https://www.makeship.com/products/fantoccio-gitd-plushie much love! Katie

We've had reports of the screen staying black when the game is first opened and that it is not reaching the main menu. This is due to the game loading all the assets in, however, this can be very slow on a first boot and with zero feedback from the game I see how this is confusing. If your PC specs

We have had constant reports from users that certain streamers are intentionally leaking content from levels. A reminder that the only content you can legally stream at this time is Fantoccios Boss Fight Barnabys Chase The Test Map You cannot stream Dutchs dance battle Aristotles tutorial If this co

I have responded to all the people missing keys or have duplicates at this time. If you do not have your key please take the follow steps No Key Received Direct message us on Patreon and I can investigate and send you your assigned key Duplicate Key Respond to the email informing me that you have re

The bot was fixed and then he proceeded to email the backlog of people waiting on keys with the exact same key! Leading to a lot of people getting duplicate key errors. If this was you, please just respond to that email letting me know and ill email you back with your new key

We are getting an unprecedented amount of signs up that the automated system we pay for has put our account on temporary hold. We didn't realise that would do this, which means a lot of people are not getting their keys on sign up. This happened 1 hour ago. We are looking into fixing this, I will le

We have an automated system that hands out keys but in the last few days I’ve had repeat reports of people getting duplicate keys. It didn’t make much sense to me as the system has worked perfectly for months now. I’ve now found some new issues we will need to fix. Updating so you know we’re working

A storyboard by one of our newest storyboard artists! https://x.com/colubird This cutscene takes place after the "Friend Like You" song

Your key will update automatically. If it doesn't update simply close and reopen your steam and it will update for you! You can stream this update! Just not the Dutch dancing :) enjoy! Billie Bust Up Barnaby Chase Orchestral Update! (YouTube)

We will be patching the game in a few days to have a special Halloween update! Keep an eye out, it should be out in the next 2 days or so :D I'll keep the updates a surprise

I've written up some thoughts and ideas regarding the feedback for Dutchs demo! Curious to see if you have a preference! Read here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vQD99FfSky4EESel-Vtk6IahJrWVaGErFsuAcunHAn0/edit?usp=sharing

You can now play the DDR mini game, Dutchs Razzle Dazzle Dream Hotel (this is not his boss fight song or gameplay) This level cannot be streamed at this time, the singing is final but the visuals are still lacking. Animations are not completed along with final VFX/SFX. To come: Backing singers, mode

Here is the storyboard for Fantoccio's opening song "Friend Like You"! We're currently prepping this for playtesting on Patreon. It's fun! It focuses more on being silly, fun and more of a gag song, compared to the more challenging intro song given to Barnaby. We hope it will make you giggle! Press

We're about to drop this song onto streaming platforms! It has the full orchestra and is extended at 4mins long! Even though it is public, please don't share this link around as we want to make a big premiere for the song for when it goes live on spotify and apple music :D In other news, things are

We have an idea on how to fix the way the demo archive works. We will automate a system that will add your Patreon email to the google drive to access it. I’ll get that fixed when we arrive in Sweden. For now if you request access with the same email I’ll do it manually when I see the request. Just

I’m on my honeymoon right now, but sadly a user was found leaking builds from the Patreon. I have chosen to shut the demo archive for now until I can get home and fix the damage. A reminder that leaking builds not only damages the games production but ruins it for everyone else too.

Orchestra The orchestra was a 70 piece one, we recorded at the Eastwood Scoring Stage in LA, Warner Bros lot. This stage has been used for lots of great movies and games, including Coco, Moana, Up etc. Just a note, just because we recorded at their sound stage does not mean we are now associated to

This song is nuts, I love it

Ash got to do some backing vocals for some of the songs! They're also in Pirate Queens Cave as a cat pirate

Another song that didn't need much from the orchestra, its mostly techno so it uses a lot of MIDI, but there were still some little flourishes we could add!

Billie and Fantoccio's duet!

Another Dutch song, another big band! Makes me think of Cuphead hehehe

Solos part 2!

To make the looping segments interesting some of the big band took turns doing improv solos, which we can then vary over the looping soundtrack

Dutch's songs used the big band the most! This was recorded outside of the control room, so its not mixed with the MIDI or vocals

Also a lil bit of horn

YOU The introduction to Fantoccio's song, a cutscene will be playing over this We weren't sure if we'd actually get Fantos song in time. We had a priority order list as a back up, so that the best songs got the orchestra treatment first. Since I've Had Enough of you and A Million Gruesome Ways to Di

De dum die de dum die!

This is the intro to the song, I posted these in a weird order

Tick tock tick tock

Outside of the control room, this is the opening to Elaine's song, this song is beautiful, I loved the violins

The first song in the game, this is probably one of the songs that got the biggest glow up by having an orchestra. Really fits that "first opening song" vibe It's worth noting this was recorded outside of the control booth, so you cannot hear the MIDI or singing parts like the other videos

Flight! Lets go flying with Aristotle and Billie

Sorry some clips are shorter, we split each song into smaller segments so Daniel and Trevor could give feedback throughout the song and make sure it was perfect before moving on. The orchestra was fantastic, they were able to sight read all the music on the day

This song is 8 minutes long, I'm so glad we managed to fit it into the orchestra session, it really benefits from this as the song itself used a lot of orchestral instruments originally
