What, would you say, is the gameplay to cut scene/non gameplay ratio in the game?

1.5-2 hours of cutscenes and probably 8 hours of gameplay? I find estimating gameplay length hard because we all play differently and also I’m like an expert at playing our game uwu

Hi I'm Darkii and I just want to ask you a question

Fantoccio has organs or something like that?I know is a very creepy headcannon that I have been wondering myself bc by some reason maybe that's why he can eat and drink ._.

He’s functionally a tree. So he still grows but slowly, and has sap

How old is Billie as an adult?

I’m not sure yet haven’t really done the timeline for the future stuff. I’d want to plan it all out before I gave an actual age.

I was planning on ordering the keychain bundle 3 but someone told me not to until closer dates, so when will the current backerkit end?

The backerkit is over, but we have a shop for a few weeks. I’m not sure when I’ll take it down, probably once I do the big bulk order of keychains

We do have a shop now https://billie-bust-up-orchestra-edition.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

On the fandom wiki it said Belle is a “weak magic user” does that mean she had magic of her own? Back then was she good at magic?

In this universe you have something called a magic capacity. You don't produce magic but it exists within the universe. Magic capacity is how much magic you can channel through you at one point. So someone with high magic capacity can perform more complex and difficult spells with training, whilst someone with low magic capacity is unable to.

Gems can provide the user some magic capacity in their own right, either boosting someone's capacity, or granting them one, allowing non magic users the ability to cast magic. The amount each gem has can vary from gem to gem.

Spell casting still requires training, regardless of your magic capacity. Casting magic can be mentally and physically exhausting, so training can allow a user to cast spells for longer or more powerful spells without tapping out. You do need to practice frequently, just like weight lifting or exercising.

Belle probably has a low-medium magic capacity? She's still capable of casting magic but she isn't actively using it often due to the nature of where she lives. She probably was more experienced back in the day, when she could use magic more freely.

So, will people who bought the Barnaby chase sequence still get it or do they gotta buy it again? There's confusion here.

They’ll still get it, if you mean the backerkit. Unless their payment failed

[billiebustupofficial]

How do you guys feel about those ask and roleplay blogs where people are writing as your characters?

I don’t really know of any but we’re comfortable with the idea

[billiebustupofficial]

When the game releases will we get lore between Belle and Arthur?

There is a little in the book

[billiebustupofficial]

Are there any large, big city places at all? I have a character idea, but it would only really work in that kind of setting- so I wanted to know if I should change it :3

Yep!

[billiebustupofficial]

Is Fantoccio gonna have a sorta backstory or any kind of "Fantoccio lore" in the game?

Yep! Tons

[billiebustupofficial]

Save the date!

April 8th at 12 PM PT, artist and voice actor Ashley Nichols (voice of Belle) will host a hunicast featuring the talents behind BBU!

It's going to be fun!

[billiebustupofficial]

Does the "not having a last name" thing only count for Billie's village or the whole BBU universe

Just Billies village. There may be other villages that also don’t use last names. Its very specific to the history and culture of the location.

[billiebustupofficial]

So who has more money between Elaine and Dutch?

Dutch

[billiebustupofficial]

Will “The pirate queen’s cave is the worst” be on Spotify if so when?

It will be, but Daniel is making an extended version for streaming platforms.

[billiebustupofficial]

when will the aristotle and arthur book release?

It’s written but we need Ash do a pass on the dialogue, but it came out really good! Probably in a month or two.

[billiebustupofficial]

How does Aristotle talk to billie through the bell? Do they use a spell or do they have another item that he uses

It’s an enchanted item. You can enchant an item that can produce sound waves to work similar to a telephone in our universe

[billiebustupofficial]

i recall seeing a post that said the bbu universe had completely different names for months, does the same apply for days of the week?

Yep! I haven’t said what they are yet because I don’t want to commit to the names yet
