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!

After letting his girlfriend down for the last time, Billy is swiftly dumped on his two-year anniversary. While moping home alone in the rain, a mysterious portal swallows Billy up and abandons him on a distant planet.
Here, Billy will learn to become the dependable person he should have always been.
Oh, and he'll also uncover an ancient alien prophecy and save the world, too.
Billy Saves the World is a comedic, sci-fi love story that spans time and space, inspired by the whimsy of Monkey Island and Futurama. Written, directed, and designed by award-winning filmmaker, Cooper Bibaud.
