THANK YOU SO MUCH BILLIE BUST UP !!
can't, wish I could
Happy halloween billie!
That was awesome! Sadly, I can't pay for it through Patreon, but I can pay for it through Steam though!
I like how the concept of not dying is so absent from Barnaby's brain that he views choosing "none of the above" when suggesting murder ideas as "pick a random one my guy idgaf"
well to be fair? Barnaby's a phantom owl.
the concept of self preservation & will to continue living is alien to a being that never lived or is deceased to begin with.
to him death is merely the door to the next stage of existence.
i mean he's a crazy little bastard

Barnaby feels like the type of person to be Barnaby
I agree
Yeah, Barnaby would 1000% barnaby.
Indeed

Dude that’s so genius 0,0
I literally had a dream with Barnaby in it, and woke up to this. This has to be the most perfectly timed video ever lol.
What happened in the dream?
@@brodyhutchens9819 It was a video game character convention, where a ton of characters would go and chat. I was there (for some reason) and just hung out with Barnaby and a few others. We even shared a chocolate cake, which was nice. :3
Lol
Good ending: you become friends with barnaby and eat chocolate cake
Cool
@@hanapinke Barnaby almost forgot to put this video up 💀💀💀
I love the detail of Barnaby being immediately pissed off at you interrupting him so rudely, only to take joy in realizing you are alive and not another ghost.
Where?
@@K1ttybeeat the beginning
@@K1ttybee0:35 you seem hit turn his head turn shakingly while he makes a frown and the wrinkles under his mouth and eye.
*Billie interrupts Barnaby*
Barnaby: There's a million gruesome ways to die, little goat... LetS TRy TheM aLl!
Barnaby is the perfect balance between unsettling and cartoonish, the little unhinged expressions he does between the lines are perfect, I love him
I love how Billie grabs her own pudge when Barnaby says "well you can't go like THAT". Every little extra detail like his face spinning when he's talking to her, the cracks on the gemstone itself and all is just a feast for the eyes and coming out today was a top notch flavor win.
It was pretty funny for Billie to do that, I agree.
The look on her face that says “I’m not fat… Am I?” Super cute.
Billie’s a girl?!
@sollunadonis1995 Well, technically doesn't have a gender. But she calls herself she. Unless the game designer has changed something about Billie's backstory.
Shes so cute i love a tiny chub in characters
I love how they incorporate another art style into the game by way of a few characters instead of a whole region.
I agree

List of all the changes spotted so far!
1. The gem has more texture and detail.
2. There's a bed/chair where Barnaby disappears during the cutscene instead of nothing.
3. Barnaby wears the gem on his chest instead of just a yellow circle.
4. Sometimes you would see Barnaby pop into place for the chase right after the cutscene but that is not present in this footage and the chase starts with him properly in place.
5. Barnaby's knife swipe has a red and more detailed glow before he strikes instead of blue.
6. Barnaby no longer instant-transmission teleports down the slope and instead slides down the slope behind Billie.
7. Barnaby no longer swipes his knife through the giant pillow and instead swipes after it.
8. The meme pose that Billie does is next to a tombstone with her KO face on it at the end instead of the tombstone just saying "Press Any Button" which is amazing.
9. Even more changes spotted in the replies below!
Edit: On 8. some people are mistaking that I'm saying that they added the meme pose, but I'm only referring to the KO face on the Tombstone.
I still wish there were more sound effects during the chase; it just feels weird to me, having everything else be mute. 🤨
@@mrbenio during the actual game there's sound effects, they just muted everything but the song for this video
They showed the ko face tombstone in the teaser trailer
There's a cook book with Billie's body on it, I don't think it was there before.
@@mrbenio looks like they muted the actual gameplay and played the song over it. the lip syncing is a little bit off i think. you should be able to hear Billie jumping, taking damage, and the knife swooshing.
honestly, Barnaby is the kind of villain i like, chaotic, kinda unhinged, but overall seems like a decent person that just enjoys having a good time
He sorta feels less like a villain and more like an antagonist.
He reminds me of Jevil from Deltarune. Crazy, unhinged, but overall good intentions.
I love it when animation can use its unique medium to make people move in ways you just can't really do in real life footage. I absolutely adore how Barnaby's animated in the first cinematic, it's so creative.
For VAs, this must be the mother of all voice acting flexes.
The characters I've seen so far (Barnaby and the theatre guy) are extremely cartoony. You really have to do chaotic things with your voice to get it to match the characters energy. And _THEN_ you have to sing while doing that. You have to keep the rhythms within certain parameters, you have to hit those notes (especially for Barnaby, he goes _high_ ) and you have to keep good breath support. All of that, without slipping out of character even a little bit. And since it's a cartoon, any pulling back from the chaos becomes all the more noticable. There's not much wiggle room there either.
Props to Micheal Kovach and BlackGryph0n
It is for sure difficult and commendable but at least the upside is that higher notes takes less air. lol
@@meanncat3050 true
❤🥹
@@BlackGryph0n I've heard a couple different things you've sung at this point, and you've got a very flexible voice. The roles you've done really don't sound like each other, they sound like their own unique characters. It's pretty awesome
@BlackGryph0n I remember auditioning for Barnaby. I didn't even care that I wasn't chosen, I was so happy for you, getting to compete with you was a privilege and truly you fit the role like a glove, my take was a bit too ghoulish sounding xD
Gotta say I REALLY like Barnaby’s new design. More bird like, and more sinister, yet just as fun and well designed. Very well done.
It's impressive they've made a 3D model feel this convincingly 2D, and twisted. I adore it.
So the design hasn't changed much, lol.

That song is easy to get caught up in the rhythm
I like how Barnaby's eyes and mouth light up the area. It's a cool detail.
It's like helluva boss and hazbin hotel vivziepop does the same technique
@@spellsnareguy who has only seen vivziepop seeing a light source: holy shit hazbin hotel
@@spellsnaremurder drones
The family guy fall at the end had me.
Also I love Barnaby, I love their chaotic personality, where they don’t even view what their doing as wrong.
Its amazing how someone can come up with a villain as amazing as Barnaby, he's so sickeningly charismatic
I love how expressive Barnaby's facial expressions are. Especially at the start of the chase.
But in the middle and in the end he's face does not express emotions and this sad :(
I need more expressive emotions throughout the chase
@@DOEZ_BBI also needed this😅
Immortal ghostly beings really never understand how we mortal's feel about letting go of our Earthly bodies so haphazardly XD Beautiful animation job everyone!!
Thank you!!
@@BillieBustUp You're very, very welcome ^^
@@BillieBustUpwhen does the backstory for him get revealed? the silliest boios have the best trauma
Гоідєо💗💗💗🖤🖤🖤😊😊@@BillieBustUp
Maybe if Billie just told Barnaby she didn't want to die he'd probably get the memo...
I love that you added that little twinkle in the knife animation, makes it so much easier to time the jumps

My 8 year old sister found this on her own, and won’t shush about wanting a Barnaby plush, I just watched this to see why and I understand now.
The fact this was Alastor’s original singing voice is amazing!
I could’ve sworn that was Sean Chiplock when I first heard him speak.
@@kidz4p509the va for alastor is when hes singing im pretty sure. Im not sure if its when hes speaking aswell tho
This sounds like the kind of thing Alastor would do tho
@@kileygormanthe person who voices Barnaby did the singing voice for alastor in the pilot but not the talking voice the talking voice for pilot alastor was Edward bosco
After watching a lot of clips of the development of this and the demos shown off in the last few months, I am so excited for this
I honestly can't wait till this game releases.
It looks like so much fun.😊
Oh this is going to be great, every animation video they make is great, that's why I love this game, the music and the animation is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen (now it will always be my favorite game), very good job, Greetins!

Yes very barnaby

Liking how the running goes along with the beats. Nicely done.
Thank you for noticing!
I like how his character, while similar to Snatchers design from a hat in time, is so different you could hardly compare them. It’s quite lovely
Also, "turned into a stuffie, now that’s something we could do" is pretty genius.
To be fair, I would buy a Billie plush.
Everything about this is amazing! From the animation, facial expressions, voice acting, scenery and setting and also THE SONG. OH BOY THAT SONG IS AMAZING I WAS JAMMING LIKE CRAZY! Thank you Billie bust up developers and voice actors for bringing this masterpiece of a game to life!
Barnaby's my favorite villain so far along with his song! His cartoonish yet dark personality is unexpectedly charming.
I love that barnaby literally reminds me of that quote "if not friend, then why friend shaped?*" as he chases you. But it makes me laugh how hes chasing you to kill you BECAUSE he LIKES you and wants you to come to his after life party. It makes him a strangely endearing villian. 😂😂😂😂
YES OH MY GOSH YES
MY FAVORITE SCENE of where Barnaby and Billie first met! :D

Barnaby is a hyperfixation that just boosts my serotonin every time I see him. He's just an epic character to see.
I feel the exact same, I only found him 2 days ago and I haven’t stopped obsessing over him since
There's a million gruesome ways to dieee!
I think I would actually buy this. I like the premise of a musical videogame. Sounds fun! And looks both fun and pretty.
“There’s a million gruesome ways to die!” Why bbu why must you make all of your songs stuck in my head. WHY
I love how you made Barnaby laugh like an owl. That's good writing! 'HOHOHOHOHO!' Me playing this when I was a patron is one of my most watched videos on my channel!
Well he IS an owl, so it would make sense for him to laugh like that! XD
for the longest time when watching this animation, from the storyboards to the previous version: i never got that Barnaby used his legs like hands and it was only until like maybe two days ago when i found that out and its such a neat and unique detail but i absolutely love it.
Q
This. Is. AWESOME. The fact that the chase music literally is on sync with the place you’re in IN the chase is epic! (And love the meme of Welcome Home ARG being in the game 💀)
Barnaby dying a second time while screeching "eLeTrIcItY" is funny af
The way everything works together, and how chaotic it all feels all while fitting together with the song without missing a beat really nails the immersion factor. Deffo feels like youre stuck in the clutches of someone thats absolutely toying with your mortality just for the fun of it.
Very well designed segment.
his expression at 2:04 is so good, i love the eyebrow raise and little hand wiggle
Barnaby's voice actor did a phenomenal job! He seemed very into the character and the scenario!
"Put me down!"
"Very poor choice of words..."
And here I thought I couldn't love BBU any more than I had. Keep up the amazing work!
It’s kinda funny that he rarely blinks… and he’s just staring at Billie 😂
“What about 10,000 volts of eLeCtRiCiTy!”
He's a owl
*E E L E C K T R I S I T E E !*
- Barnaby.
i think he really likes her
@@SyrailiaI can't get over the fact that when he says electricity he momentarily turns into Doofenschmirts and it's all I can hear
@@TheSleeplessSleeperAgent _wheeze_
The animation was so smooth and beautifully done! I loved the bits of comedy thrown in as well! Everyone did an amazing job!
Even after all this time after it was revealed, this has to be one of the greatest villan songs in the last decade.
I like that the most replayed moments are the most banger moments in song
Absolutely freaking amazing how animated Barnaby is! The creativity to make such a game with it being a 3D musical platformer is just something I absolutely adore and seeing how the levels are heavily influenced and timed with the songs is absolutely incredible to see. All the devs on this project deserve many standing ovations ❤❤
Oooo! I like how he morphs out of the stone. Before he just..appears. great to see how things change and grow better over time.
Gotta say, this is shaping up so beautifully with all of the additional efforts you all are putting in to this project. I am admitting that I wonder if Barnaby has different statements if you die to each of the obstacles, if at all.
Whether he does or not, this more finished form of this match has solidified my drive to purchase the game when it is released.
He has unique death lines, unsure if this person got all of them ua-cam.com/video/_fw7h1z5gx4/v-deo.htmlsi=CtCnVOaovmj1PklO
@@BillieBustUp That's a really nice touch that a lot of games don't usually add, props to you!
Honest.... This is awesome!!!!!!!!, Awesome song? Awesome effects, awesome fights, and its seems to be extremely hard.... This is what we need!
One of the things I love bout this, is that for some reason it gives me retro PS1 vibes (though obviously more advanced) and I mean that in a positive way. This game also looks really unique, and like something I haven’t seen before.
I only discovered this game yesterday, but now I’m really excited for it. Well done to the developers.
I love it when Billie said “it’s busting time” and then proceeded to bust up all over the place
LOL😂😂😂

Im so proud of this team they have been working so hard for this! I'm really excited for the game when it comes out, I love your progress! ^^
I love how polite and enthusiastic he is
This feels like an upbeat cartoonish version of “dumb ways to die”
If he's not the final boss, I'm really excited to see who it will be

Barnaby’s the best character in this game
And you can’t change my mind
HOLUY MOLY
This song is a banger, and Barnaby is becoming my fav😭
since he reminds me of snatcher from a hat in time :33
I'm sold.
The voice acting, the music, the animation, the gameplay. The entire thing looks so captivating and fascinating!
I love the little detail with Barnaby's eyes at the beginning of the song! They change to different expressions. Those small details I adore in games, ones that people wouldn't normally notice for a variety of reasons (In this case running away and needing to focus on where you're going)
I think the creator said that the song will have the expressions thought out the song in the full game when it comes out.
Ooh-hoohoohoohoo! I’m so excited for this! I’m a huge Barnaby fan!!
Just found out this exists and I already love Barnaby. I wanna hug him
Barnaby gives me heavy Discord from MLP vibes, but if he was a funky and fun guy instead. LOVE HIM!
SAMEEEE
He's so husband shaped ❤ I love his character design
Billie is so adorable I love her so much she is so cute and the song is always a beat I love it from the start to finish
This is a work of art without a doubt, congratulations Billie, and greetings 😊❤
I've been invested in your work for around 2 months now, and I just love seeing the little changes that will eventually lead up to a (hopefully) amazing game.
Barnabys eyes are awesome! His top layer just looks like eyelids which makes him look a little odd if that wasn't intentional. This is such an amazing game! I absolutely LOVE the visuals holy moly its so creative with the song!
I love me a good villain song, and this is a BANGER!!
Awesome relighting and touch-ups! Cant wait to see more!

This song is a worm in my brain i had to come back and see it again
It's fantastic to see this cutscene finally done!! Happy Halloween!
this game will bring world peace
yes!
Yes

It will bring furries, magical Pinocchio knockoff and a million gruesome war crimes (not hater btw it’s just funny to think about)
I love breaking the chain
i am SO in love with this game’s cutscenes and animation AUGHGHGHH, EVERY ASPECT OF BBU NEVER FAILS TO IMPRESS. UR ALL HECKIN AMAZING LOVE U GUYS!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
as someone who likes musicals like this with a dark tone i can see myself playing this
Barnaby trying to steal the soul stone from Thanos is a death wish
SO FLIPPIN HYPED!!!!
Fr!
Yes!
I love this game with all my heart
I get massive Hat in time vibes from the art style (I mean, there will 100% be comparison videos), but holy heck I love the idea of the song literally being the boss battle.
The fact that he is T posing the entire time makes it more fun
This song here is a real toetapping earworm, and I love it. Top of the notch, wonderful to listen to over and over again, no lie. I hope this game does incredibly well if this is what your putting out! :)
I like what he has kind of a 2D art style
So cool to see this cutscene in full fruition!
Now that was something, such an incredible feel for the game! Wishing you all the best of luck 🤘
4:34
I think itd be cool if when barnaby says shoe, a giant shoe should fall down and smack down with a very audible *THUD*.
I think itd fit the song well, and be an extra challenge in the last part of the song, as it seems a little barren during this section.
You could probably have a shadow start out small, then get bigger and slam down on the ground as soon as the word "shoe" is said.
Thanks for reading my comment if you see it, the game looks like it will be fantastic and im highly looking forward to buying it.
Oh god that's actually clever 🤣
The screen shaked a tiny bit after Barnaby said "shoe," so maybe they are planning to work it in.
Can't believe you didn't take such an invite, you're missing out so hard, Billie. SO hard.
SQUEEEEEEE!! My FAVORITE cutscene! And the game isn't even out yet!!
But in all seriousness, You guys are amazing, The cutscene and game are amazing, and I'm wishing you all of the luck of the Multiverse! (That Barnaby can jump through)
so hyped for this video and this game!!! love the artstyle and the songs and everything AHHHH
Столько стараний вложено в этот шедевр
Mischievous cartoon characters that move and stretch in impossible ways are just my jam. I love everything about this, extremely well done.
Literally the best part of all of this]
