New Playable Update Concern
🕑 Added 2024-08-01 20:52:49 +0000 UTCHi friends! I wanted to patch a new update for you all (this will add playable oscar) and update the testing map, HOWEVER, I've completely destroyed Barnaby's manor and updated it so it fits my actual vision for the opening of this segment. We had to rush the final art for gamescom, which is why the interior of the manor was so weird! It is finished but not ready enough for public viewing, and I don't really want to keep delaying updates to the build.
Would you all be ok if we patch an update but remove the opening segment of the game? It would go straight to the cutscene and the Barnaby chase segment and skip out the platforming and manor at the start. Potentially I could try and archive the demo somewhere if you wanted to play the older version?

HI BillieDev. I wanted to tell you that your game is highly anticipated here in Brazil, several YouTubers who managed to play Barnaby and Fantoccio's demos loved your game, a Youtuber here in Brazil posted both demos and loved it, we are excited about your game so much so that a Dub Br already translated their songs and they were very good Ícone "Verificada pela comunidade"

I think it's great, the changes are important
Braxton Cary
I dont know if mine is just broke but I’ve only got the testing map I’m missing everything else
Black Blade
I think its fine, but will be nice if maybe older versions could go into the Steam beta branch so can roll back to view the older version ^^ not only for opening but also just seeing versions as they change
Totally Human
Anything new is good, also the manor was kinda barebones

When you improve on things it usually requires you to deconstruct or remove elements that weren't working, so the entire opening sequence before the chase has been remade from scratch. The old area no longer works as functionality has been moved to the new and improved area, however, I'm not ready to show off the new area just yet.

This is fine. The final build will have the manor but this is just the playtest. It’s not ready so it doesn’t need to be playable right now
Erl Moncevial Erno
Yeah, that would be okay, this builds isn't supposed to be the actual game anyway, it is a test playable builds and there's no point in testing something, that isn't created yet, so I think it's completely fine to delete this part.

You are the boss! In any case, I think it is fine. We have already been able to play it enough
Foox
Yeah, I’d prefer to have the update :)
Joshy
That’s fine by me
Arctickyn
yess, its totally fine with anything dont stress a scale
Kirbygal
I'm fine with the change, do what needs to be done.
SelenoWolf
Don't worry and strss yourself. If it needs to be cut out for now, so it is 👍
Kiln Lockhart
It'd be a bit weird. Maybe keeping some parts of the manor but a much shorter walk that eliminates the parkour?
Goulash
Of course that's fine
Lagoosh Yt
I don't mind
Marsh
You... what? Wdym by "destroy"
Caybee
Sure. As long as the original manor area is still accessible.
Samuel O'Doherty
I'd be fine with losing the manor as long as we get to try new things
Junkclops
Totally understandable! As much as I liked the opening segment of Barnaby's Manor, after replaying it dozens of times it's an just an annoying obstacle in a very narrow space.
Allison
I don't mind at all! Do whatever you think seems best :3
TommyMaeJoJo
I wouldn't mind as long as there would be a downloadable pre-update version available!
Enipluuv
Is it possible to keep the manor and still add the Oscar stuff? If not I think my vote would be get the update in, since the manor part then only serves to show the general platforming mechanics and general vibe of Barnaby's level, both of which are covered by other aspects of the demo. At least, that's my own view and opinion on it.
BetaJams
I’d like to have an archive, but what ever works best I don’t mind at all!
Haddle
You should be able to make a beta branch and put it in there on steam. Sounds cool though!
💫Holy Lamb!💫
I don't mind! Do whatever works best for you!
Joseph Penor
Whatever you need to do.
MariofanL1VE
I do not mind at all, we still got the chase sequence itself which is the main part of the level!
Joshua Burdi
I'm okay with this too! Excited for a new update in general!!
Terrabi
Honestly that works just fine I'd rather lose the opening stuff so that it could be properly finalized.
Revolesto
Yeah that sounds fine
Zorrena
I'm personally OK with either way as long as I can try moving Oscar around. While I do like looking at the manor it's OK to cut it out and other bits in my opinion if you need to as it's old.
Lauren McCall
Do what you have to do! We are excited to get whatever! Lol
BraixenFan
I think it’ll be fine, a small price to pay to try Playable Oscar!
BenAgain115
I have no idea how it works, but Steam allows for different branches of games. A VR game I play, Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Handgrenades, lets you swap between having the latest full update, the weekly beta builds, and sometimes the previous full update if the latest breaks mods.
Billie Bust Up
yep!
Shelby Kinkead
Actually now that I think about it, when the update goes live should we expect a certain animation focusing on goat ears to be implemented?
Demator 21
It would suit me perfectly.
CrankyTemplar
Cool with whatever.
Shasta4123
Sounds good to me.
WhiteKIBA
I would really like to see the broken opening segment :D Sounds like fun to experience the entire development process
Frederic Nicolas Schneider
I'm fine with it. It's 'only' a playable teaser/demo for a inner circle and not for the public.
Keaton Hammack
I’m cool with whatever! If it takes longer for a new build though to have that, I’m 100% ok with waiting!
Daniel Latts
Yeah, I’m completely fine with that, you guys do what you need to do.
An Angle 😇📐
Do what y'all gotta do, I'm just excited for Oscar 😆😆
pie19988
As long as there is an archive I'm down
SHMidler
I am cool with that, do what you feel is best. I personally rather you guys take the time you need to get it done well and right if that makes sense
BirbBeans
Go for it! Shifts like that are to be expected during development.
Cxxd Gaming
Yeah, I'm ok with it.
5ph1nx
Let's do it
Aurèlien Astral
I'm fine with it being archived for us to still play it until the new version is ready!
Travis the Dragon
I’m ok with it
mochymoo
Absolutely! Go for it :3
Cyber Starlope
Yeah I'd say go for patching it! I think it's to be expected that certain parts will be unavailable while being updated imo Excited to see what's to come! -☆
Bradford Wesner (Wtbs)
If possible I would like to have the archive of the opening, but if not that’s totally understandable!
Star Katzz
I'm cool with it!
RhinoRapscallion
I see no problem, do what ya gotta do.
Drell
I think it'd be fine imo! It'd be cool to see more done in the world so whatever you need to expand it!
Shelby Kinkead
I don’t mind if you patched the update, I look forward to seeing Barnarby Manor 2.0 when it’s ready! Edit: you can still archive the original if you want
Wolf
Works for me
Drew Mendoza
👍👍
