Magic!!! Billie Bust Up-date
🕑 Added 2023-10-08 23:48:25 +0000 UTC
Are you ready for another update? Here are some cool shaders and particles without context
The Lost City of Magic, new concept art!
Fantoccio's bedroom
The theater exterior, revealed!
Buildings in this city used technimagic to power their society. A lot of magic vegetation is used to help power things
A temple dedicated to the Gods!
Teleportation pods that help citizens get around the city quickly
Uh oh! No getting away this time Billie
A new song is in the works, this one is our ONLY song with no game play. However the lyrics will come into play later in puzzle segments.
Some red lines for the upcoming song sequence for Scrimshaw! super excited for this one to come out
What are they looking at
Arthur is getting a slight redesign
Experimenting with the facial rigs! Not something we can add in this game, but maybe for future DLCs
Scrimshaws shop is getting filled with cat pirates. One of the issues I have with our hubs right now is they feel lifeless and empty so its time to tell a story with NPCs
The tutorial sequence has had a recent update, lights! (and particle effects)
Wings have been updated, we were originally going for 2D but decided to go with 3D rigged wings instead
Here they are in action! They will come with particle effects and a fun shader once they're in engine
The old version below to compare! Looks way more detailed and less flat
Seems Billie is in trouble! uh oh!
Who are these guys?
Potions!
Modeled quickly in 3D and traced for UI
Dutch has different biomes for different animal types. His hotel is in the sky, so this is the underwater biome for underwater animals
Baby Fantoccio! Aint he a cutie
Barnaby grabs Billie! no context given, spoilers, sorry!
Barnabys alive reference! THIS IS NOT TO SCALE!
A whole new cutscene to watch, Billie meets Elaine!
Outfits are really coming together, here is Oscar in a bear suit, you can watch some gameplay of it here
and now we end on the biggest update of all, a brand new camera system
Camera whiskers now intelligently control the camera to ensure it doesn't collide with geometry. We want the camera to be smart and the player will not be required to control it.
camera dithering is added back, letting the player see through the environment when the camera collides with it
Z dampening! makes the character feel less heavy the camera is no longer strictly attached to Billie
Custom cameras for set scenarios
In bonus news we will be livestream noon PST on Eds twitch where we will be joined by a couple of the voice actors (Blackgryph0n, Kovox, Ed Bosco and Amber May) where Ed will be playing through the current demo build of the game and chatting. Stop on by!
thanks for reading everyone! see you next time <3

For the song that will be important. Would we beable to replay the song. If so, how hard would it be to replay (Pressing a button, Going somewhere to play it, Spending bells)
Im still waiting on my key
I love it!

A part of me wants to believe the shark fin is actually a pirate cat in a scuba suit, with a shark fin on their back. It's not an actual shark.

I know I said this many times before, but I REALLY adore how cartoony yet fluent the animation is turning out to be (especially the character's movement and the wings too)! I gotta mention all the other amazing things posted here too omg!!

I'm not a dev but, depending on what the error message says it might be something with your system or your client rather than the game. Do you remember what the error said?
