- Weep-Worthy Platformers! - 3 April 2026
Our first bundle had Billy & Amy teaming up against the world.This new bundle teams up two hapless, hoppy, heroes that will have you crying all sorts of tears as you fling yourself across challenging levels in Spritz The Happy Onion or move through the heartfelt story in the narrative-driven action/adventure platformer, Billy Saves the World.Fun Fact: The artist behind Spritz The Happy Onion also did some work on Billy Saves the World! He even whipped up this whole new look at Billy for the promo art for this very bundle!:I guess that solidifies it as cannon: Billy wears white socks.Anyway, if you'd like to support two (very) small indie game creators that can barely afford to buy their own onions in real life, please consider grabbing this bundle that's packed with value. If you already own one of the games, you can also "complete" the bundle and get the other game at the same discount…

- STEAM SPRING SALE - 13 March 2025
Hey all -- Writer/Director of Billy Saves the World here to say hello for the first time in 2025! Since release, I've cherished all of the feedback I've received in Discord from our very small player base, the YouTube videos, and the positive reviews. I especially love the hand written letter from Tom Cruise who said our game is better than both Top Gun's combined! It's been very rewarding watching people stream the game, spending well over 20 hours exploring a world I created, finding secrets I never thought anyone would bother with, discovering unique paths through the main quest, and experimenting with different play styles to finish side-quests. I'm also really happy to see the narrative resonating with those who've put the time in to complete Billy's story, even down to the unconventional ending that seems to have hit with people in the best way. So... thank you! But, I'm not here…
- Patch 1.2.7 - 6 December 2024
Back with a quick hello so insignificant it's barely worth raising a hand to wave back. Here's what we did in this update: CH2: Minor design tweaks in the Mainland. CH2: The Pit level now requires Rogue Gloves to enter it to save players who don't have them from wasting their time. CH3: Removed "wind" ambience from the level "Speed Test". CH3: The reason for this update. Fixed a bug in which if players visited the Grotto after choosing to go to Machina, the game would stick when talking to the NPC named Stubs. The game will no longer stick here. ALSO: We are now officially verified for Steam Deck! If you notice anything odd, don't be shy. Please feel free to join the game's official Discord and let it be known!
- Patch 1.2.6 - 2 December 2024
Ho, ho, ho! Merry December 1st! I'm here with the first update to the game. Nothing super major, but after watching complete strangers play the game online, I decided to add a few fixes I noticed to improve the overall experience of the game. If you notice anything odd, don't be shy. Please feel free to join the game's official Discord and let it be known! In the meantime, enjoy the following improvements: -Prologue: Edited the movie sequence scene so that if players stand still, Billy is pushed forward with the moving auto-scroll. -Prologue: Edited the camcorder art asset in the movie sequence so that it does not appear over top of menus if players press start during it. -Prologue: Added an executive producer credit in opening credits. -CH1: Fixed minor issue that allowed players to purchase the sold out app called "Questier Quest" that is meant to simply be a joke. -CH1: Edited the "c…
- RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED! - 10 November 2024
Hey everyone! Cooper here to tell you that November 26th, 2024, is a big date! When I was five years old I would tell adults that when I grow up, I want to be a "computer game designer". 12 years ago, I decided I would try to make that a reality. 12 years later it is a reality. Yes, you read that correctly. This game took me 12 years to make. It is the definition of a passion project. I started out all alone with no idea how I'd get from sitting on a laptop with zero knowledge of how to make a video game, to a finished project. It was a very long road. It nearly killed me. There were so many times where it felt like the universe wanted me to give up. There were so many times where it felt like there would be no way the game would ever get done. I learned a LOT and I would do everything completely differently if I could go back, but that's what learning is all about. I cannot emphasize h…
- The Perfect Game For Steam Deck! - 17 June 2024
I am pleased to announce that Billy Saves the World is fully compatible with Steam Deck! While the game currently does not have the official verified icon, I've been told that this is due to Valve's work-from-home status which is slowing down their ability to test and approve games. They've instructed me to make a post so that until then, people will know they can use their handheld of choice! Yes, that means not only does this make the perfect adventure to take with you on the go using your Steam Deck, but also the ROG Ally and more! Billy Saves the World was thoughtfully designed with handhelds in mind. What this means is that whenever you play the game you will be able to accomplish something in a short amount of time. The open world is small but dense. Every few steps you'll encounter an enemy to take out and loot, discover a Cave to explore and complete, or activate a new side-ques…

- Official 'BSTW' DEVLOGS - 23 April 2024
I'm back! Who's "I'm?" you ask? Why, it's me! Who's "me!" you ask? Why, it's your least favorite Writer, Director, Designer -- Cooper Bibaud, of course! Happy 2024, hope everyone has been doing well. Anyone got any resolutions? Mine is to play more games and watch 52 movies this year. Oh, and I'd love to release my first indie game this summer, too. And honestly... it's looking very, very likely! To respect your time, I will get right to the point of this announcement. Starting... right now: I will be sharing a series of video DevLogs of my game! These videos will be long-form showcases that go over the game's mechanics, show off its environments, reveal gameplay, and much more. I'm really excited as this is the first true deep-dive of the game, and I hope you'll enjoy watching each one. Below are a couple that I especially enjoyed making, but there's several more already on my channel,…
- DISCORD: Now Open To The Public! - 18 August 2023
Greetings everyone! Writer/Director/Designer/ManyOtherThingers -- Cooper Bibaud, here once again! This time, I'm talking about the next exciting step toward releasing our game. If you missed my last post, go give it a read so that you can grab your FREE copy of our game's soundtrack. For everyone else, let's get down to business. So I guess there's a thing called Discord and people like it quite a bit?? I know the train left the station years ago, but in an attempt to chase after it and be a part of all the fun, I'm finally here to plant my Discord pole into the ground, scream into the giant void of the internet, wave my arms in the air and let everyone know that: I'm here too! Look at me! I'm cool and relevant! I swear! Or something far less desperate, I dunno, I'll have my marketing team (me) take another look at my messaging before I officially go with that. No matter, it's true: Bil…
- FREE Official Soundtrack - 15 June 2023
Hey everyone, writer/director/designer -- Cooper Bibaud here! I am terrible at using Steam but it's my new goal to learn how to use it to communicate what's going on with this game and even give out little treats, like the one I'm about to give you all! First, I want to thank everyone who has Wishlisted my game, sent me fan letters and cool fan art, and even the few who've gotten tattoos of BSTWs logo! You're a crazy dedicated bunch! Just kidding, nobody has gotten a tattoo, and I've received zero fan art, but the rest is all true (except the fan letters, that's also a lie). But seriously, thank you for your patience and any interest you've shown my little game. As a thank you in return, I wanted to let everyone know that I've uploaded the game's entire soundtrack (save maybe one or two songs) on YouTube to stream, entirely for free! Music in video games is really important to me and it…
