Hey all!

No video this week, unfortunately. I was prepping for one and this bad weather came in, along with having to travel.

But I’m not leaving you all empty handed! I’ll be dropping my first dev log video for MY GAME Bigfeets (name can change) in the next month or so. Many in the discord and in the streams have been following the game grow over the past few months since I’ve gone public with it so I feel like it’s time to share it here!

Here are just some images and concept art. I am avoiding teasing a lot of what we have but let me breakdown Bigfeets to its core:

Bigfeets is a casual, cozy, social multiplayer game with minimal survival elements. No, you can not die. But in certain zones, there MAY be a chance you have to “go home”. You’ll be placed in random servers (just like Palia) where you can:

- fish (dropped some concept art for some of the fish)
- catch bugs
- mine
- forage
- craft
- cook
- hunt (completely optional)

We will focus a good bit on social and multiplayer features, along with having discoverable lore. I can go ahead and tease some of this, just a wittle (uwu) bit.

We are building the world of Bigfeets in a place called The Otherwood, a dimension that is next to ours. We got this idea based after the book Goblin Universe. It’s not COMPLETELY from the book, I do want to make that clear. I just always enjoyed the idea that Bigfoot was a being that can travel between dimensions. Absolute looney concept that I felt like needed to come to life.

The Bigfoot asset you see here is just our alpha version. It can, and most likely will change. But I wanted to step away from the idea that Bigfoot is this hulkish creature. In the lore that we have created, Bigfoot is this gentle being, just looking to hangout with its buddies and have a relaxing good time.

One thing I do want to hammer in. We will have a homestead, but that one bit will be a single player experience. On top of that, there will not be major decorating. You will be able to:

- garden
- beekeep
- animal husbandry (to an extent but that will be explained in the future)

Questions that are asked a lot:

Why no major focus on decorating?
Truth be told, that’s the last thing I think about when I game and I truly believe that if Bigfoot were real, I don’t think they would care what shade of purple to dye their couch.

With that being said, you will get to decorate your homestead/cave to a very small extent. Main reason why that’s even coming into the game is cooking. But there will be other furniture items that can be placed around.

Can I customize my Bigfoot?

Yes! Abso-fuckin-lutely. Right now, our two testing body types are attached with a masculine and feminine body type. No real major difference unless you look hard enough. But some customization we will have:

- body hair color and hair color, along with two tone hair colors.
- hair styles
- beard styles
- foot size (listen, I know that’s weird. It was just requested and it actually makes sense)
- cosmetic items like flower crowns, thorn crowns, head pieces, stuff like that.

Will there be collectibles?

Hell yeah, dude. What cozy gamer doesn’t like grinding out plushies? Except, our collectibles will be ✨backpacks✨

I thought about this one for a long time. A collectible cosmetic that you can flex in-game but also grind out the backpack that matches you. You can even trade them if you wish.

Backpacks will also be attached to achievements, can be bought with shinies (our in-game currency, not a premium currency) fished up, dug up, etc. You can change your backpack at anytime to show your accomplishment or absolute dumb luck.

It has been asked if we can bring plushies in the game in some way and if we do, they will be keychain plushies that can be attached to your backpack. Not saying we will, but it’s a possibility.

Will there be pets?

Yep! We will have different types of pets, all ranging in rarities, all completely tradable.

Will there be mounts?

Nope! Well, not off the rip. But maybe in the future. The world will need to be big enough and the introductory zone is half the size of Kilima, while the first “zone” is the size of Bahari.

Plus, you’re a Bigfoot with magical powers. Trust me, there will be OTHER WAYS you can travel around the map.

How many people are working on this game?

Right now, there are six of us. We plan to grow and add more to the team in the future. No, we are not hiring. Most of this is just people wanting to make a game that we feel like needs to be made. We have agreed revenue split from game sales is the best course of action. Since I know many creators in this space, I have an audience, and I have a thriving discord of over 3000 members, I believe we can really push this project to something great. But if you want to volunteer some time and you have some experience, shoot me a message on discord. We can chitchat.

How much will the game be and will there be a premium shop?

This question is asked a lot in the streams. This is something we do not have a direct answer. We have the option of just putting the game out there, free to play and have a premium shop. But then Steam won’t push it as hard. Now, we are not focusing on making the greatest game alive and have zero intentions of making a game that becomes your main game. But we do want Steam to push our baby. We are thinking $7.99 and have a premium store with cosmetic items, fur colors and backpacks. However, the store isn’t going to have complete sets for like $20.

If we take this route, cosmetic items will range from $1.99-$4.99 and that’s it. Nothing crazy and we feel is affordable.

However, premium and price are not our focus right now at all. But to add, we do want to make sure our team eats good at the end of the day so everyone remains on the project.

Finally, our last question: How are you paying for this?

Buddies, you guys are paying for this. With your views, your twitch subs, your love has all been filtered to this. I have taken my creator revenue and pushed it into this project and I’m thankful for every single one of you.

What I have done in the past year with my “what are your thoughts” at the end of my videos have been my main source of what to add and what not to add to this game. Many of you have contributed in many ways without knowing.

But I am also thinking of ways to gain more revenue for this game. I don’t want to create merch like sweaters and tshirts to push without a product you can play. My thoughts are to get a cookbook and plushie made, open the store and if you guys want to support, you can. Completely optional.

With a cookbook, you can still use it and make foods that will be in the game. With a plushie, you can snuggle the wee bastard.

But yes, this is Bigfeets. We have a closed alpha that’s invite only in the next few months with some handpicked people from my community and I am very excited.

Eventually, I’ll make Bigfeets its own YouTube page so we can tease stuff there. But for now, my YouTube channel, discord, streams, will be the main source of information for the game.

With Love,

Big Perzy

Me when animal husbandry drops

For the ones that are not in the discord and will not see the post in the morning, I want to point out two things and why I believe Animal Husbandry is only an update or two away!

In the most recent patch notes, when they were doing flowery stuff, the top left icon was the animal husbandry icon.

Next, the use of the phrase “right around the barn” by Lacie.
