Barnaby Song??! Billie Bust Up-date Time!

Hi everyone! It's Katie back, giving you a quick break from Sam <3

As we progress it seems we have more and more to show more quickly, especially as our team expands! So I'm trying to update more frequently as to not bombard you with too much content each month. Let's start with the best part. Barnaby's song!

We're super excited to hear the demo on this one, especially as his voice actor will be singing the demo this time. He has a few vocal pick ups before it's ready to hear, but we should expect it by next week.

Here's a sneak peak at the lyrics (note these may change with time!)

BBU107 “Gruesome Ways To Die”

Music & Lyrics by Daniel Ingram

[BARNABY] (spoken) Hohoho! Where do you think you’re going? The party is THIS way! And trust me, deary.. It’s to DIE for!

VERSE 1

[BARNABY] I know we’ll be the best of friends

So there’s no need to run

The sooner you get dead the sooner you can join the fun!

No need to fear for I am here!

[GHOSTS] Your mortal form will disappear!

Now should we use this rusty knife

Or acid water gun? Ahahahaha (maniacal laughter)

CHORUS 1

There’s a million gruesome ways to die!

[GHOSTS] Oo oo oo oo

So why resist when the party’s just begun?

[SOLO GHOST] This is gonna be such fun!

There’s a million gruesome ways to DIE!

[GHOSTS] Why stay alive?

[TOGETHER] But I’m sure your death will be second to none! hahaha!

[BILLIE!] Uh, no thanks!!

VERSE 2

[BARNABY] Oh dynamite works quickly but it makes a lot of mess

And flattened by a cow is just embarrassing at best

Now baked into a yummy cake…

[GHOSTS] Or fall into a pit of snakes

But dropped into a lobster tank might hurt a little less

CHORUS 2

[GHOSTS] There’s a million gruesome ways to die!

[BARNABY] How bout’ impaled upon a spike?

So why resist when the party’s just begun?

[BARNABY] Maybe something on a bike!

There’s a million gruesome ways to DIE!

[BARNABY] We could bury you alive

[EVERYONE] We’re sure your death will be second to none!

BRIDGE

[BARNABY] We could put you in a cage with a hungry alligator

Drop you in a volcano with an active crater

What about ten thousand volts of electricity?

Or try a death by Shakespeare in a tragicomedy!

VERSE 3

Trampled by an elephant or turned to goat meat stew

Or try to fight a dragon armed with nothing but a shoe

How about a mummy’s curse?

[GHOSTS] We’ll put you in a fancy hearse!

Or turned into a stuffie!

Now that’s something we can do!

Hahahahaha

CHORUS 3

[GHOSTS] There’s a million gruesome ways to die!

[BARNABY] Have you tried the guillotine?

So why resist when the party’s just begun?

[SOLO GHOST] I danced so hard I broke my spleen!

There’s a million gruesome ways to die!

[BARNABY] There must be something we can try!

[EVERYONE] We’re sure your death will be second to none!

BIG FINISH

[BARNABY] Maybe you can choke upon a grape

[GHOSTS] To die!

Put you in a blender and frappe!

[GHOSTS] To die!

Maybe we can find an angry mob

Tie you on a stake and cook you up like a kabob!

[GHOSTS] To die!

A giant safe could fall upon your head

[GHOSTS] To die!

A gluten overdose from too much bread

[GHOSTS] To die!

Then you can join the party cuz’ you’re dead!

I’m sure your death will be second to…

[GHOSTS] Mister Reaper’s beckoning you

[BARNABY] Sure your death will be second to

[EVERYONE] NOOOOOOOOONE!

(*group maniacal laughter as Billie busts out of the mansion)

Song Ends

Can you believe we're almost half way through with the songs now? We're working on a Billie song next, need to check in with our protagonist and give them a song occasionally.

Speaking of Barnaby, we've started working on the physical merchandise prototypes. Here's the first draft of the Barnaby pin. I'm taking it slowly at the start to source out quality, as it's extremely important to me that you all get the best we can offer! I'm so excited to see how he comes out. I'm expected to see the prototype in about a week.

Some bonus Barnaby outfits!

Fantoccio's Best Friends!

We've concepted out some of Fantoccio's best friends! Fantoccio isn't 100% alone, but some may argue this is worse...a large city filled with mutated blob creatures, I wonder what happened here?...

Here is a WIP sculpt I'm working on now!

I'm curious how they'd sound?

More Characters??

Yes...more characters, we're actually reaching the end of this nightmare soon! and ahead of plan no less! leaves more contingency for later tasks 👍

Woah! Baby Billie?

Checking her height, can Arthur hold her ok?

Introducing Fresca!

Fresca runs a local drink shop in the marketplace

Now we have Moon, the grumpy fruit vendor!

He's also rigged and ready to rumble!

And Marmalade! Moons daughter. She's pretty keen to explore the sea with her girlfriend Fresca, sadly her father is too over protective and concerned for her (after a Kraken attacked his ship long ago)

Speaking of Claw Bay...

Claw Bay

Lets take a look at it!

Jovi is now making in more detail asset breakdowns of certain areas

Work in progress ice power up changes!

Environment Art

We have a new environment artist who has joined us! Ovie! You can follow him here He's currently working on the prologue buildings alongside myself and Jovi!

Really love how its coming out!

Some extra art by Jovi!
