- Please read this if your game crashes on startup - 19 March 2025
If your game is crashing on startup, it might be due to a recent change on the Steam Beta Branch. You can try switching off of the Steam Beta Branch (located in Steam > Settings > Interface) and see if this fixes your game. This isn't guaranteed to fix, but we've seen it work in a few cases. We'll be further looking in to why this is the case. https://i.imgur.com/8T6Ocw5.png (To clarify, this is the Beta Branch for Steam itself, and not specific for BAPBAP)

- A Whole New BAPBAP - 13 February 2025
BAPBAP HAS BEEN REBORN We fucking nailed it. So far, all the early tester of the new version of BAPBAP have been telling us that it’s the best version of BAP they’ve played, which is a good sign (we hope🤞🏻). What’s new? Oh just like… everything… We kiiiinda remade BAPBAP from the grounds up into a whole new game. Oops. Think Smash meets Roguelike with BAPBAP combat. The games go by fast with more chaos, more antics and more yelling at your friends for not focusing the guy that’s winning. Our goal is to make a game that focuses on playing with friends and captures everything BAPPY in a clean, fun package. All the information can be found at the blog linked here. In case you missed it, BAPBAP Battle Royale mode is cancelled. We faced too many challenges as an indie team to keep up with a ranked, matchmade playerbase. For more information you can check it out on our discord announcements.

- #003 - Liking Rogue - 9 January 2024
Alright, we shared our plans for adding the Roguelike moniker to BAPBAP around a month ago, so I guess we should talk a bit more about it, eh? I’ll try and share as much detail as I can without getting fired 👀. Also no, I’m not going into the roguelike vs roguelite argument. Just read it as roguelite if it bothers you 👿. Summary Roguelike passes the vibe check We have systems (like rare equipment) that we’ll flesh out more Map modifiers will give you reasons to pick different spawn spots Augments will completely change how your character plays each run.
