NaddPod Game Update

Dear Naddpoles,

We’re writing to let you know that we’ve made the difficult decision to halt production on the Not Another RPG videogame. Based on the progress we were making, we didn’t see a reasonable timeline when we could deliver something that was up to our standards and yours. In retrospect, we were too inexperienced on our end and a sprawling RPG was too big for our first game.

We’re disappointed to end this project, but we’re re-focusing our efforts on other opportunities for you to explore the world of Bahumia. We’ve learned a lot through this process and have some fun ideas we want to explore. So stay tuned, and as always, thank you for your continued support!

All Our Best,

Murph, Emily, Caldwell & Jake

Seth · February 26, 2023

I respect the decision to pull the plug for sure. It's better than putting out a half baked product. Much love

Bubba in the Bay · February 5, 2023

All good. Props to you guys for even attempting it 👍. Life is about trial and error, looks like you all are doing great ❤️

Divergent Hedgehog · December 16, 2022

I just played through Greek: Memories of Azur - and the way it works with it being a side scroller, puzzle game, & the switching between the siblings because of their different abilities - it would be a great format for a NADDPOD video game!

Chrystian Leitem · December 7, 2022

But I holy understand and appreciate y'all always wanting to do your best for us thank you so much

Chrystian Leitem · December 7, 2022

Y'all know you could make hot garbage and we'd eat that shit up

connor Jones · November 24, 2022

Please still make it one day when funds or people with the right expertise are found I can’t wait to play an open world rpg two crew game

R
Riley McCann · November 8, 2022

I so admire your integrity, creativity, spirits and dedication to your work. Thank you for being open and honest and knowing when to redirect your energy. I've been listening to y'all for years now and can't tell you how much of a positive force you have been in my life. I know a lot of us feel the same so, we got your backs! Keep taking risks! They'll pay off ❤️

S
Sarah Trimble-Tutor · November 8, 2022

We love you guys! Thank you letting us know. I hope this will happen one day, but I totally understand how hard it is on a project like this. Maybe at some point you can share what you wanted to do with it?

Meghan · November 4, 2022

Not that I’m not disappointed but I’m glad you all decided to let it go when you knew you couldn’t do it to your standards! I can’t wait to see what y’all try next wallet in hand hahah <3

S
Sam Argenio · November 3, 2022

In my humble opinion, you guys have nothing to apologize for! Sure you tried something and it didn’t 100% work out the way you thought, but you all have provided amazing content over the years that has brought me so much joy and comfort. I’ve been listening to NADDPOD for over a year and as my life has changed so much, you all have been so consistent in my life though the postcast. I can’t express the gratitude I have for y’all. So seriously, nothing to apologize for. Your hard work and creative energies will pay off regardless and they’re always appreciated from this end, even if the ROI isn’t as direct as you would’ve liked it to be. I’m looking forward to what’s to come. Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat ❤️

A
Audiocontrol · November 3, 2022

+1 for a choose your own adventure book but could you make one of the storylines one where a new npc called Rachel asks for helps but ends up dying? Also, what about turning the NADDPOD stories into comics? Other D&D podcasts have done this and I feel it's gone well.

M
MacDhomnuill Games · November 3, 2022

May I humbly suggest that you take your story line for the game and turn it into a choose your own adventure style book or better yet a couple. Seems to me that a written and illustrated physical product is much more in your collected skill sets than a video game was.

R
Rick · November 8, 2022

And then read it for 8BBC

K
Katie Lackey · November 3, 2022

It’s all part of the process! I’m sorry y’all had to make such a tough choice but I know whatever come out of it will be great! No worries!

P
Pitlane Pilot · November 3, 2022

You guys work so hard and it’s so great to see that you are doing what’s best for you and making the right call even when it’s not easy ❤️ much love

M
MacKenzie Tobias · November 2, 2022

With all you guys have going on, the fact that you took it on was incredible! Love you all and appreciate the joy you bring to my ears on the daily ❤️

Rafael D. · November 2, 2022

A Bahumia campaign book would be a very great alternative and easier to do than a video game. There's always crowdfunding to get the ball rolling.

J
Jordan · November 3, 2022

Would so crowdfund this!!

N
Nathaniel Letterman · November 2, 2022

Uncontrollable sobs

Shawn Ritz Arthur · November 2, 2022

Can't wait to see the Choose Your Own Adventure Book! (In my wildest dreams)

D
Declane Gilhooley · November 2, 2022

Hard call too make but it's for the best, Making room for more awesome content. One door closes another opens

W
WitchKingofAngmar · November 2, 2022

It really sucks to hear that. I know we all were looking forward to seeing that game but the situation is understandable. However I’m sure I speak for a lot of people when I say that instead of a game I would love to see an animated series if possible. Watching the events of the band of boobs play out on the screen would be amazing. Such a great story. Either way I wish you all luck in whatever endeavors you continue to seek out. ❤️❤️❤️

A
Adah Kinzer · November 2, 2022

Sad to hear we won’t be getting a game but hopeful this will somehow lead to more of C3

P
Professor Pratt · November 2, 2022

It’s funny, just the other day I was thinking about this and just assumed I missed an announcement or that you had too many things going on. It’s always difficult to set expectations and then be slapped in the face by reality. As creatives, I’m sure it’s even more frustrating. How do we reconcile our vision with application and execution. Speaking for myself, I dream of making films but just don’t have the time or freedom of budget to explore my ideas. So I just keep journaling and fine tuning other skills related to my ideas and express my creativity that way. Love you all to the moon and back!!

A
Andrew Aziz · November 2, 2022

Love you guys! Thanks for the transparency and for the efforts y’all did put in. Y’all are the best and we support y’all no matter what!!

S
Steven Hamonic · November 2, 2022

was there much art produced for it, and if so can we see it sometime?

S
Sadie Greene · November 2, 2022

Honestly I’d rather a source book than a video game anyway

V
Vendal_V · November 2, 2022

Like many have said now, the fact that you guys decided to take on the challenge of attempting the game has probably been an amazing learning experience! Well done to you all! Also, like many people have said, a sourcebook would not go amiss if you now have the space for a new project! An art book with a collection of art pieces from the fans could also be amazing as well!

G
Garga Lenoir · November 2, 2022

No shame there. A LOT of other people got hit with the same realization, and most of them way later in the process (usually when all the back money was gone). Maybe in the future you can do something more manageable but sweet, like a 10h RPG Maker FF6 style game or something.

S
Scott · November 2, 2022

It was crazy to try but cool that you did

J
Jake de Medeiros · November 2, 2022

I think a source book would be awesome Green Teens Gone is a fan favorite arc, something about the low level goofs really charmed a lot of people, and to play through that arc with my own group with an illustrated book? Would be sick. Best wishes.

S
Saru · November 2, 2022

I hope this was a good learning experience for you and I'm glad you didn't fall for the sunk cost fallacy. You have a lot of stuff on your plate already so please don't feel obligated to start a new big project to make up for not finishing this one.

H
Hamish · November 2, 2022

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, Qwings* 💜 I bet you learned heaps! We appreciate the effort you put in regardless. I was worried this was a cancellation of the show. So honestly I was very relieved to read this sad news! Soz. Pls don’t cancel the show. You aren’t allowed to miss that shot. It would break my heart 💔 *kings and qween (sic)- but it just doesn’t flow as well

S
SweetBabyJ · November 2, 2022

No sweat, you buncha sweeties❤️. You put out a lot of really rad stuff and having one less thing on your plate to be stressed about will be nice, y'know? Ouuuu, exciting little tease there though! I just finished the arc in the Feywild not too long ago and I've had two things on my mind ever since: honey goblins (I can't possibly express to you how delighted I am by Caldwell's MotM honey goblin art btw), and a Bahumia campaign book😛 (like, I trust y'all, I'm happy and content with whatever you choose to put out, and I'll understand if the BCB just isn't in the cards for the time being, but yeah... my money is absolutely ready should that book hit shelves, I'll just say that).

T
TallishCard643 · November 2, 2022

Excited to see what yall come up with next!

C
Chris Rzepa · November 2, 2022

OMG darlings! It feels like a huge undertaking, I'm glad you explored it and learned a lot along the way. I hope it fuels other creative endevours in the future for sure.

K
Keanu DRAMAFACE · November 2, 2022

Maybe some of the animations can be used for a short animated series of some kind! Thanks for the update ❤️

G
Grisby's Pal · November 2, 2022

Love what y’all put into the world. Since it ultimately can’t be this RPG, I’m glad you all found that truth and am excited to see where you can now channel your energy! I’m sure it’ll be a Haugust miracle.

W
Wilson · November 2, 2022

Glad that I was able to get a poster of the game while it was still a possibility. Sending all love and excitement for future projects

K
Kate N · November 2, 2022

very understandable!

D
Daniel Mckinnie · November 2, 2022

As long as Caldwell spills we will be here.

M
Mr. ZAP · November 2, 2022

That's too bad, as I'm sure all of us on both ends were looking forward to seeing it in the end, but it's completely understandable under the circumstances. Hopefully the work you put into it can be reused in some other context in the future. Regardless, we'll always support what you're doing, and hopefully you realize that we all think you're already doing enough and should just do what you feel comfortable doing.

D
DrVonStreusel · November 2, 2022

It's unfortunate to hear the news, but I'm looking forward to all the fun ideas you guys have in the works! (I'd love to get a sourcebook for Eldermourne, love the setting)

G
G.X. Barnett · November 2, 2022

Ok, these things happen. Sourcebook time.

J
J. Marshall Smith · November 2, 2022

That's a tough decision to make, and I'm sure you all didn't do it lightly. Keep up the good work!

R
Robert McDaniel · November 2, 2022

Dang. Sucks to hear, but news is news. Maybe we could get a source book in the future? I know it's rude/cliche to compare similar media, but something akin to the Tal'dorei Campaign setting book from Critical Role?

Y
Yeeter Skeeter · November 2, 2022

Totally understandable y’all work very hard and I know you want to put out the best game on the market for the fans and that kind of stuff takes time . I know everyone is still excited to see the work you guys put out and if the game has to be sidebarred until you have the time to come back to it to make it the best version of what you want everyone will appreciate that. I appreciate y’all very much it’s always wonderful to have your podcast to keep me entertained during the day and y’all just keep doing your work with love and it’ll always be amazing!

T
TeaPott · November 2, 2022

I thought Bohumia would make a great adventure/source book for people who want to explore it in there own home campaign. Just a thought!

W
Will Boldizar · November 1, 2022

Ahh totally understandable, excited for whatever future projects you decide to do though. This project inspired me to make a fan minigame and become a full-time game programmer, so I’m thankful regardless.

J
Jared D. · November 1, 2022

C
Christopher Lasasso · November 1, 2022

No qualms from me, that's for sure. Part of why I support yall thru Patreon is specifically because of opportunities like this! Love being able to support all of your efforts to experiment creatively where possible. Looking forward to seeing how you retool the creative energies from the game elsewhere! The recent Mavrus special + the world building of C3 really makes me excited for anything yall have planned regarding Bahumia.

I

Whitney Peterson · November 1, 2022

Such a bummer but totally understandable as everyone has already said 💔 If there was every the chance for you all to share a little tour of what had been made up to this point to see what awesome work had been done that would be so great to see too, even knowing it would never be finished. You all make such great work and show your true dedication to quality, and that's extremely admirable, and what I love so much about everything you all do!

T

Jake was the last to sign off on this note, but I guess that's okay since he's just a reoccurring guest.

R
Richa W · November 1, 2022

Thanks for the update! I hope the awesome art Caldwell made for the game gets to be used for something else cool. Better to put away a project that’s too big than burn out on the whole thing altogether.

S
Shane Murphy · November 1, 2022

It's rough but props for being committed to quality. Honestly I would have just been happy with "Ulfgar goes punch" the game... I reckon they'll circle back to it and maybe partner with a proper developer sometime! Forevers a long time, plenty can change :) Also super smash bros bahumia edition would be low key amazing;)

D

Ahh well got a sweet poster out of it anyhow. Thanks blue crew ❤️

K
Kris White · November 1, 2022

Sad to hear it, but I hope that maybe you will pivot and create a sourcebook/adventure book for your campaigns. Even for the side campaigns would be really cool too. Also, come to Arizona, if you come before may then you won't melt from the heat! And its much closer to California

D
DungeonMama · November 1, 2022

Disappointed but glad you didn't force it when it didn't make sense.

Sir Theobold Gumbar, Jr. · November 1, 2022

Honestly, a Bahumia sourcebook (circa campaign 1) complete with geographical location info, character sheet details on guests (i.e. Applejack, Deadeye, & Mavrus) more Caldwell artwork, some home brewed magical items, and stat blocks of some of our fave NPCs and villains would be amazing!!!

Thom van Tijn · November 1, 2022

This is totally understandable, it's sad but it's definitely a good decision to prioritize your own health and sanity. Excited to see whatever comes from you next and it's something you can always come back to once your plans for world domination have come to fruition.

C
Coleman · November 1, 2022

Better to have learned and gotten ideas from the process to use on other projects and cancel rather than push out something you aren’t proud of. You’ll hear some “but you could have JUST done this or JUST done that.” but video games are hard enough to make and a full RPG is one of the hardest. That being said, looking forward to a Moonshine and Pawpaw Cooking Mama style game.

J
Jonathan Yarberough · November 1, 2022

As saaaaaaad as this is, I love that you guys are professional enough to not release something unworthy of the NADDPOD name! Can't wait for the future stuff, you guys are awesome.

B
Britt Z · November 1, 2022

Meh, it's respectable that y'all let everyone know rather than trying to keep a dead bullywug alive. I like hearing your content and using my imagination anyway. *Does a failed/awkward wink*

Kyle Harmon · November 1, 2022

Hell of a lot better than releasing something you aren’t proud of and tarnishes the name. You guys will get there! 🥰

C
Carli Stewart · November 1, 2022

In the latest Hearthside chat, a Bahumia sourcebook was mentioned. I would loooove to have that & would gladly pay to help make that happen. I love y'all! Naddpod is my favorite. Thank you for everything you do!! 🥰🥰🥰

Always a tough decision to put down a project but sometimes it needs to be done. I have love watching the creative work you all have done and if the team is willing to show some of the art created i know the community would love to see it. But if those projects aren't ready to be show also understood. Love the Blue Crew ❤️ 🐸❄️💧

S
StellaTL · November 1, 2022

Thank you for the update 💙 I’m sure it was an incredibly difficult decision to make. A table top board game or a book would be an amazing idea as well if possible! I am happy I have the poster still, maybe one day we’ll get to have a little demo game? Regardless I still love what y’all are doing

L
Lars Leemans · November 1, 2022

That's too bad to hear, i was just thinking about when we would get some news on the game a couple of hours ago. But if it's for the best it's for the best. Looking forward to the next project. (Fingers crossed for a pathetic murph npc dating sim)

B
Bogtu's Boggy Brews Coming Soon To a Bog Near You! · November 1, 2022

Who knows maybe a few years down the road everything will align and you will be able to make a game then, either way game or no game doesn't change how much we all love what you do for us already. Keep up all the amazing stuff, enjoy everything you do for us and know we love you guys and your content. On a side note is there any ideas for making the campaigns into an animated or even live action movie or series like what critical role did with their legend of vox machina?

D
Danny Summers · November 1, 2022

That's sad, but gotta respect the call. Making a video game is a huge undertaking!

Totally understandable! Thanks for the amazing content every week and I can't wait for whatever ya'll make next.

Kristen with-a-K · November 1, 2022

It's always hard to give up a project you've dedicated time to but you have to do what is best for you.

Thank you a million times over for making our cold dead hearts feel things. 🖤

Dylan Jackson · November 1, 2022

I admire the fact that you guys are willing to admit that this was too large of a project to complete with the experience you have! Though this news is sad, I understand! Video games are very intricate and require a lot of attention to produce something of quality. In the meantime, something that might be of interest would to make a graphic novel! I have watched plenty of Caldwell's drawing streams! And I have seen the talent of the community, a graphic novel seems very feasible if you are intrigued! With a podcast of this quality, anything is possible! Keep on keeping on!

As much as a game would be awesome, I think the community as a whole would prefer you keep doing what you love and what you’re proud of.

All good guys we love all your content irrespective of scope ❤️ Maybe sometime down the track you can revisit if you're still keen!

Hellarex · November 1, 2022

Totally get it! Video game production can be a huge endevor to take on. You guys do what works for and just know you have undying support! Much love!

Nathan Mills · November 1, 2022

Bummer but better to make a hard decision than ultimately a bad one. Y’all always got my support!

M
Myles Lee · November 1, 2022

Disappointing but totally understandable. I'm not sure if you're open to alternate suggestions right now but as a DM I'd be first in line to buy a campaign setting source book got Bahumia and/or Eldermourne! Always excited to see what you all do next!

Annie the Feywild therapist · November 1, 2022

Thanks for keeping us updated! It sucks for a project to not come to fruition but you provide us with so much content already! Can’t wait to see what else is in store in the future ❤️

Sean Marshall Jr. · November 1, 2022

Super sad but so so so understandable. Thanks for the update, love you guys!

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord · November 1, 2022

Not totally unexpected news. It’s a lot easier to play em. Now you can focus on the Not Another D&D B&B!!! Kudos for giving it a go! ❤️✌️❤️

J
JazzyRushesIn · November 1, 2022

Always hard to make that kind of decision and we all know just how excited you guys were about this project! I’m definitely sad for y’all that this didn’t pan out but I am even more so looking forward to what’s to come 🙂 I am beyond confident that you four will continue to do right by the incredible world you’ve created and I cannot wait to see what comes next for Bahumia 💕🤩

Sean L Byrne · November 1, 2022

I wouldn't want y'all to do anything that would contribute to a degeneration of quality either in the podcast or any other project. You guys work so damn hard as it is, it's important to recognize your limits. All love.

C
Christian Fernandez · November 1, 2022

Love you all! We’re all here for the ride, thank you for having the foresight to not move forward with a project that won’t be up to your standards! Looking forward to whatever y’all have planned for the future!

Tech Adept Crafts · November 1, 2022

Really feel for you guys. I know you were very excited about it when you started. But it takes a lot of courage to admit when something more than you can achieve. You tried and made it a fair way, so just be proud of that. Love

K
Karter Talley · November 1, 2022

A bummer, but still excited for future updates. Looking forward for what comes next.

Big Baby J · November 1, 2022

I think everyone who's gotten into game dev has experienced this, I can't imagine what it's like with so much external pressure. When I hit this realization, I decided to make a bunch of tiny versions of my game, each exploring different mechanics/areas. The idea is to get experience making/finishing games while still working on the project that I'm most excited about. (and I'm sure we would still love any of yours if you took this route)

S
Starship X · November 1, 2022

Glad y’all are making a decision that’s good for you!!! It sounded like a massive undertaking and hitting stop, or pause, is a much better thing for everyone.

S
Stephanie Karisny · November 1, 2022

Bright side, maybe we can look forward to an EP every week now?

t
thedragonllama · November 1, 2022

Videogames are by far the most difficult form if media to make, so I hope you can take things from the process and apply them elsewhere! Also I guess it is time for me to start a Naddpod fan game… 🕹👾

N
Noell S. · November 1, 2022

Damn, this means that the poster I have is prime merch. Merch for the game that will never be...

W
William N Wuehrmann · November 1, 2022

Sad to see the news, but a very respectable decision. I can't imagine how enormous of an undertaking that must have been to attempt, and I really respect your commitment to quality. I'd rather be a little sad that something isn't happening than y'all putting something out you aren't happy with. You remain one of my favorite sources of media, thank you for the genuine joy you continually bring to me in the wee hours of the morning at work.

F
FiendishNoodles · November 1, 2022

Good decision, frees up time and resources to pour into the real future breadwinner -- Capsford

Joe Eldredge · November 1, 2022

very sad news, but any chance we might still get to see some of the art/music assets that were made for it? that might be a cool pick-me-up

You do you 😊 respect the integrity of the post. Keep up the excellent work. Thursday's get me through the week.

L
LowlyWorm · November 1, 2022

as a game dev I’ve made the scope mistake many times and it’s probably the biggest challenge in the field. Start as small as you want! games are fun. making them should also be fun. most of the time at least.

K
Kayla Allen · November 1, 2022

We are so lucky to have you! Thank you for everything you do for us! I'm very excited to see what else you have up your sleeves.

Grnt · November 1, 2022

I do hope you guys release some of the notes or files! That’d be an interesting deep dive

M
Merky Vids · November 1, 2022

Also had no idea there was a game in the works. All else fails, I think a primer on Bahumia or a small-scale worldbook, like Matt Mercer's first Wildemount one, would be easy enough to dip your toes in the water! Not telling all about the world, but giving people enough to start crafting their own adventures.

J
John Stuart · November 1, 2022

Nothing but love y’all. Maybe one day!

Bummer but alas, onward! To other things! Love you guys.

Daniel Green · November 1, 2022

😭😭😭 I mean I understand and respect the decision, but not going to lie - this bit of news hits hard. Was more excited about this game than most AAA titles that have been announced / released recently. But hey, whatever you guys decide to do, we get it and respect it

T
Tommy Williamson · November 1, 2022

Tyler · November 1, 2022

Sad to hear, but sometimes difficult decisions like this have to be made! You guys create a ton of fun and creative stuff, and I'm looking forward to whatever else gets to come to fruition because of this!

L
Liv · November 1, 2022

Knowing your creative and capability limits is always a good thing! We’ll all still be here listening to y’all no matter what. Game development/story plotting is a massive and draining undertaking especially when you’re doing other projects ❤️

As disappointing as this news is, we all appreciate the effort and transparency. I love literally everything you all do and I know I'll continue to do so. <3

Anyone who knows about video game development is likely not surprised. It's a miracle ANY game gets made. No worries - you just keep doing what you're doing :)

J
James DeGree · November 1, 2022

Bummed to hear this, but I have a ton of respect for you guys being able to admit that it's turning out to just be too much. I love everything you guys do put out, and I can't wait to keep listening and enjoying all of that content

T
Tyler Adams · November 1, 2022

I'm actually okay with this. Eventually something will come out and I know you guys will knock it out of the park. In the meantime I will continue to wait anxiously for a play it yourself adventure book for Campaign 1.

A
Apex · November 1, 2022

Halting a project because it’s too ambitious is a sign of solid decision making! I know it feels disappointing, but you did the right thing, and sharing your decision candidly with fans is 100% the right way to go about this.

J

Honestly I know murph uses Kobold press a lot but I’m sure me and lot of other nadpoles would love just like a bunch of stat blocks from characters on the podcast for like a mixed bag or something.

That's a shame, but thank you for making a tough decision instead of putting out something for the sake of it.

TheLargeLebowski · November 1, 2022

You guys are great at what you do, if the worst to come of all this is just not diversifying as much as y’all want, then we’re still getting the content we know from the creators we love!

sasha · November 1, 2022

oh my gosh please don’t worry. you guys are amazing and I hope verbalizing this decision lets you stop dwelling on it (ha ha ha anxiety is fun). ❤️❤️❤️

tommy · November 1, 2022

Makes total sense! Excited to see how you all use the time this opens up (for NADDPOD projects or others) and hope that some of the assets/materials developed for this project can be of use to you in others! Love the pod, and have total faith in you all to keep on making great art in any medium you choose.

Caitlin Sales · November 1, 2022

Respectable and solid decision! When I first joined as a patron and saw your updates, I was honestly shocked that there was time for another project like that. Don't forget, games can be any size! Your patrons and listeners would like a 10 minute visual novel, no reason to go for the 10 hour rpg the first time! Looking forward to whatever interesting things you try for Bahumia. (That's no shade to the hard work of visual novels too, just a different scope commitment to make a finished product.)

J
Jim · November 1, 2022

Game development is hard and setting the right scope for a project can be a challenging task. I'm sorry to hear that this project isn't currently happening but hope you guys continue with making games in the future :)
