Big Booty Adventures Patch Notes — January 6, 2024
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Today marks 2 years since we released into early access and we feel now is a good time to give an update on the status of Big Booty Adventures and unfortunately it's not one we want to give and one we have been putting off for some time.
Simply put, we haven't been working on it. For over a year..... Not news you want to hear and news we hate to give because we really want to make a full and complete game. We see so many early access games just "die off" with no explanation and no signs from the devs, even ones that were highly rated! We aren't those devs.
The short story is this: There are two of us that work on this project and in late 2022 we both had some major lifestyle changes that quite literally tore us from development. We both decided to take a break to focus on those for a bit and well, that break lasted a very very long time.
That being said, this isn't an announcement that we are picking up development again. But nor is it an announcement of us throwing in the towel. Steam and Early Access have put us in a unique position where we could theoretically continue working on this project for life! Of course we doubt that will be the case. Since we started our early concepts in 2017 so much has changed in the VR and development world. It really probably is best if we start fresh either with a different game or a refresh of this game entirely. But honestly we don't know.
So here’s what we do know. People are still buying our game. Not many, but enough to know we did something right. We have more locomotion and accessibility options than many AAA games we've played. We have a bigger and more open world than most VR games. We have plenty of “wonk" going on but we do know there is fun to be had for certain players, ESPECIALLY when you bring a friend in. We’ve had a blast developing this game and often find we don't want to play new VR titles because we would rather be chasing Booty!
For now the game is going to continue living in early access until we get it together or, well, until we don't and we will provide that update then…. Ahhh the life of a small indie dev team. Anyways feel free to pop into our discord to chat if you want. We aren't dead after all, just a little lost! Thanks for listening and hopefully your understanding. Until the next update, take care!
