Buddy’s Bulletin: XIV, September 8th
Howdy Friends,
Let me tell ya'll, this is the Buddy's Bulletin you've been waiting for. We're making up for the fact there wasn't one last week with TWO announcements today.
The next few weeks are going to be very exciting all over Friendtown with one big thing happening after another.
We've been keeping busy and there's a lot to get through so let's just jump right into it...
[h2]Reveals of the Week[/h2]
So we have TWO announcements to make this week. And they're all intricately related and equally exciting.
The first - beginning September 14th we will be having a STEAM FREE WEEKEND! That's right, running through to September 18th, you will be able to play Friends vs Friends on Steam for FREE. So if you've been wanting to dive in and check out Friends vs Friends, there's never been a more perfect time.
We're so excited to partner with the folks at Valve to bring you this amazing opportunity and know this is something many of you have been calling out for. We cannot wait to welcome more Friends into Friendtown.
And if you do decide to pick up the game during the weekend, know that all the progress you've made will carry over, so ya'll won't have to worry about starting over again.
That's not all, though. To celebrate our massive Free Weekend, welcome new players and give everyone a bit of a level playing field, we're adding a new map to the rotation!
[h2]Introducing Gas Station![/h2]
Gas Station pits Friends against each other in a semi-remote setting just outside Buddy’s Boulevard. Set against billboards and an abandoned car wash, the Fossil Gas Station is the perfect battleground for all-out warfare.
Use rooftops to get a sniper’s advantage, weave in between buildings to duck for cover, and keep an eye out for the skylight to swoop down on unsuspecting adversaries.
Oh, and be sure to pick up some refreshments in the convenience store before you head out on the road again!
Phew! I'm gonna need a lie down after that.
Oh, and in case you think we're all tapped out on news? Guess again. We're gonna come in like a Wrecking Ball next week with a big ol' surprise to kick off our Free Weekend in STYLE!
Got questions? I'm sure you do. Share them below, in the forums, in our Discord, wherever and we'll be happy to answer what we can. Thanks for continuing to support Friends vs Friends. We love ya'll!
[h2]Community Spotlight[/h2]
Here's an incredible collection of Easter Eggs that can be found in the game (and there's many - trust us!) from Windoki Tarot plus some additional collaborators.

This is an incredible effort and must be seen to be believed. Thank you for putting this together.
How many have you found? Also, what if we told you there's still more to find? ːsteamhappyː
Thank you for sharing all your fan art with us. If you've been making some for Friends vs Friends, why not submit it to the fan art category here? We've seen some fantastic pieces out there and some surely worthy winners.
[h2]Mayor’s Message[/h2]
Hey folks, it's me. The Mayor of Friendtown. What a day it's been.
I'm already preparing everything ready for the influx of new people we're hoping will join us around these parts. I love meeting new people and I'm grateful to have that opportunity next week.
I'm a little sad my local gas station is going to be a bit busier than usual. I always like to grab a sneaky snack for lunch there and rarely have to worry about a queue. I guess I'll have to find a new spot.
It's crisps, by the way. They're my snack of choice. But you have to guess the flavour..
I'm very excited you're going to get to see even more of Friendtown. It's a wonderful place with even better friends and I just know we're all going to have a blast next week. Until then...
- The Mayor of Friendtown
