If you enjoy news that will make your head spin, then boy oh boy do I have something for you. Hello all! Cooper here again. I am happy to announce that Billy Saves the World has been accepted into Steam's June Next Fest! This year, the festival will run from June 10th to June 17th. During this time, players will get access to a FREE DEMO of our game, as well as the opportunity to watch two live streams with the developer (hosted by a giant space creature named Grimpen, and his pal Moon Pants), and even WIN STEAM KEYS and get the game for FREE when it releases! The demo I'll be sharing in June is not just a little teaser, either, it's actually a sizable chunk of the game. And because this demo is so large, I'm excited to say that you will be able to carry your save files over from the demo into the full release of the game. Wowzers, look at those heads spinning! The reason for this is that my game has a lot of player choice and freedom built into it, so I thought it would be cool for you to be able to stick to those choices and see where your unique path takes you. I'll have more to say as we approach the festival, but that's it for now. If you plan on playing the demo, please join my Discord (for free!) and let me know! If you stream it, or upload a video of you playing it, perhaps I can find a way to feature it. Until then, I'll be uploading new videos of the game on my YouTube Channel, and chatting in Discord.

I'm back! Who's "I'm?" you ask? Why, it's me! Who's "me!" you ask? Why, it's your least favorite Writer, Director, Designer -- Cooper Bibaud, of course! Happy 2024, hope everyone has been doing well. Anyone got any resolutions? Mine is to play more games and watch 52 movies this year. Oh, and I'd love to release my first indie game this summer, too. And honestly... it's looking very, very likely! To respect your time, I will get right to the point of this announcement. Starting... right now: I will be sharing a series of video DevLogs of my game! These videos will be long-form showcases that go over the game's mechanics, show off its environments, reveal gameplay, and much more. I'm really excited as this is the first true deep-dive of the game, and I hope you'll enjoy watching each one. Below are a couple that I especially enjoyed making, but there's several more already on my channel, and a lot more to be released! And of course, feel free to Like and Sub and all that.

Greetings everyone! Writer/Director/Designer/ManyOtherThingers -- Cooper Bibaud, here once again! This time, I'm talking about the next exciting step toward releasing our game. If you missed my last post, go give it a read so that you can grab your FREE copy of our game's soundtrack. For everyone else, let's get down to business. So I guess there's a thing called Discord and people like it quite a bit?? I know the train left the station years ago, but in an attempt to chase after it and be a part of all the fun, I'm finally here to plant my Discord pole into the ground, scream into the giant void of the internet, wave my arms in the air and let everyone know that: I'm here too! Look at me! I'm cool and relevant! I swear! Or something far less desperate, I dunno, I'll have my marketing team (me) take another look at my messaging before I officially go with that. No matter, it's true: Billy Saves the World finally has a tiny little place on the Internet to call home. You can now join our Discord community, open to all, and get yourself properly set up before we launch our game. I created this Discord not only for Billy Saves the World, but as a place where I can share news on all of the projects I'm working on. It'll be a one-stop destination so that I don't overload your already crowded server list. Best of all, it's brand new! This means you'll have me all to yourself and (probably) be the very first person to join if you do it right now. Go! Do it! It may be awkward at first, but you've never had this much intimacy with a game creator before. Imagine getting to chat with Kojima whenever you wanted to, you know... if Kojima had never released a game before, worked at a bar at night, and nobody knew who he was. So cool, right?! Join Now! Once there, you'll be able to introduce yourself, chat in our general chat area, and help us build this thing from the ground up using our suggestion box. There's a specific category for Billy Saves the World where you can share media (when the game is out), chat about the game with all our fans (me), and eventually complain about that bug that ruined your life (also, when the game is out). Any important news or updates related to BSTW... for example... if a certain DEMO is ready to be played, will be announced right there in the news channel. From there, there's a category for all of my other projects. For those that aren't aware, I work in film and tv. I've got plenty of movies coming out that I've either written, produced, or even star in! So I'll keep everyone up to date on when they're hitting theatres, as well as future game projects that I'm working on. Lastly, anyone who purchases a Special Membership from my Patreon, will unlock the Special Group Chat category of my Discord that consists of a growing list of channels ranging from games, movies, tv, to tech, books, sports, travel and more. I'm quite busy making a lot of stuff so I'm excited to find some people who will chat about all the cool stuff I'm missing out on, and maybe help me find my next favorite indie game or movie. So give my Patreon a look if you fancy being super cool. I hope some of you find this to be exciting! If you want to share a link to a game you've played, ask me a question, or eventually talk about your experience playing the BSTW demo/full game, hop in the Discord now so that you're good to go when all of this starts happening. Thank you so much for your time, and I'll see you in the Discord!

Hey everyone, writer/director/designer -- Cooper Bibaud here! I am terrible at using Steam but it's my new goal to learn how to use it to communicate what's going on with this game and even give out little treats, like the one I'm about to give you all! First, I want to thank everyone who has Wishlisted my game, sent me fan letters and cool fan art, and even the few who've gotten tattoos of BSTWs logo! You're a crazy dedicated bunch! Just kidding, nobody has gotten a tattoo, and I've received zero fan art, but the rest is all true (except the fan letters, that's also a lie). But seriously, thank you for your patience and any interest you've shown my little game. As a thank you in return, I wanted to let everyone know that I've uploaded the game's entire soundtrack (save maybe one or two songs) on YouTube to stream, entirely for free! Music in video games is really important to me and it was one of my top priorities to ensure that Billy Saves the World would have not only a memorable score, but one that you could take with you on walks, or when you're studying, or maybe have on in the background when designing your very own game! I worked closely with both John McMillan and Tom Ratesic and I'm confident the work they've produced has accomplished everything I wanted, and more. Depending on a few factors (like time and money), I may eventually push out an official release for sale, in which 100% of the profits would go back to John and Tom, but it will also live right here on YouTube, absolutely free for all to enjoy. Please let me know what you think of it (including our adaptive visualizer!), and what your favorite tracks are. Until my next update, happy listening! --> Full Playlist <-- Sample Song: [previewyoutube=mVKGDKZJVf8;leftthumb][/previewyoutube]
