New Demo DELAY!!

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 week!-Sam

New Demo INCOMING!! 🎶

The 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.Here is the password for the next build: BBUAugustBuildGuideGo to the library, find your BBU game under steam.

[Song Concepts] Aristotle's Tutorial, with Gameplay Example!

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 can move on, otherwise the music loops until they beat 4 rounds (total).NOTE: If the player just holds the shield it will deplete after 5 or 6 enemies bre...

Sickness Update ROUND 2!

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.

Quick Update! - Currently Sick

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 considering you are all paying for content I fe...
