We've gotten a few questions about what it actually means to play as an Inspector vs a Hero in BFAA, so here's a little breakdown!

I would die for Ted.

The Bureau has received multiple reports of egg-related disturbances across the realm. We are looking into it. Happy Easter! 🐣

Are you prepared for the Hero’s arrival? 👀 #indiedev #crashoutcore #gamedev

Every game needs a strong hook.

Sound effects are cool! Like this medieval building sound effect! #SFX #GameDev #IndieGame

We’re really proud of the animation team, so here’s Elliot, our lead animator, giving a quick look at our animation process. Let us know if you’d like to hear more behind-the-scenes insights from other parts of our team!

A little late to the New Year, but we wanted to say thanks. We’re really proud of what the team pulled off last year and excited for what’s coming next. Happy 2026! Demo planned for the first half of the year. #indiedev #gamedev

A little late to the punch, but here’s IGN talking about our game after our last showcase, it’s always cool to see stuff like this :)

Things have been slow on our marketing front, but I think this next trailer is really something fun, can't wait to show it to y'all.

Because our game is relatively large in terms of content, we use a good number of assets. Here's a peek at how we are adjusting those to better fit our world :)

Do you like cute sentient mushrooms? Of course you do. Here's some cute sentient mushroom concepts by our artist: @erinmchughart.bsky.social

Small bit of early grey-boxing today

Hi! Idk what happened, but we’ve had a bunch of new followers lately soooo welcome, friends! 👋 We’re making a game about being a bureaucrat in a fantasy world. Hopefully, that sounds groovy to you. And uh, if not, then hopefully you'll stick around for our cool game dev updates and/or sharp wit.

I present to you a very early WIP of our menu and of course a lil video showcasing the logic behind it.

Red alert! Video of me following around a skeleton with a clipboard has just come out!

Who among us doesn't love a good game soundtrack?

Please be quiet, our dragon is sleeping.

Thanks y'all!

I bring to you a video that showcases our 3rd-person accessibility feature.

Thank you, everyone :)

Heard that there was some concern that our game, the BFAA would utilize AI. I am proud to say that is 100% NOT the case. This game is being created by real people with real passion. Our 100+ characters will be voiced and written by living, breathing, people. #supportindies

Here's a link to the trailer for you lovely folks. Thank you to @futuregamesshow.bsky.social for having us :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP3P...
