Hey guys! DeMarco here, back with another devlog. You're going to hear a lot more from the rest of the team and me as we progress through the development of the game. Before I get into the m e a t,  I'd first like to share with you all the plan going forward and what to expect from us as we continue development.

BUDDY BASH 1984

First things first, since it hasn't been announced here, we'd like to once again congratulate Aoife "pebbles" Baines on her submission, Friend or Phone, for winning the #BuddyBash1984 competition! We absolutely loved the character, and felt it had a lot of potential in the world of our game!

As promised, here is how Friend or Phone will appear in-game. While I can't say much, this character will be contributing to the main story, and we're excited to share it with you upon release!

SCREENSHOT SATURDAYS

If you aren't following our Twitter, we've been trying to consistently upload little clips to share with everyone. Below is a collection of everything we've shown so far, so if you haven't already caught yourself up, feel free to check these out! Forgive us, but the first two videos do not have sound because they were originally uploaded to our Twitter as gifs. Please enjoy!

GOING FORWARD

We have a few announcements regarding what to expect from us in the future leading up to the release of our game that I'm very excited to share with you all! We've been very hard at work, and while we still have a long ways to go, we have a lot of fun things planned before the release!

DEVLOG UPDATES

One of the things we really want to improve on is our online presence, and we're doing so in a number of ways!

• Twitter - We want to continue doing weekly Screenshot Saturday updates with little snippets of the game! Check out our Twitter here!
• itch.io - In addition to posting our Screenshot Saturdays, we will additionally upload them to itch.io  little extra updates  and potentially some behind-the-scenes of the progress of our game.
• Discord - Our community is growing, and it's been so fun getting to know everyone who has joined so far! In addition to receiving updates, if you are interested in talking with me, the other devs, or our followers, you should consider joining the community! We share art, music, memes, pictures of our pets, and our favorite printers (my personal favorite is the HP LaserJet Pro M203dw Wireless Laser Printer Powered by Jet Intelligence Toner cartridges <3 ) Check out our Discord here!
• Emailing List - One thing we're considering doing for some of you old-fashioned folks is an emailing list. We'll share more details on that once we get everything figured out.

STEAM

We're getting very close to setting up a Steam page for our buddies who are interested in wishlisting! We're currently working on the game page as well as our first official trailer for the game. Our goal is to get that set up sometime this month!

RELEASE

We still have no definite release date planned for the game, but we can confirm that it will be released in the year of 2020. More details regarding that information will see light in the coming months.

That pretty much wraps it up! We couldn't ask for better fans, so thank you all so much for supporting us. You mean a lot to us :)
