Bru & Boegie: Episode 1 - Get da MILK! News

[p]Friends - Bru & Boegie: Episode 1 - Get da MILK! is a whole whopping 50% OFF for the Steam Spring Sale! That is like... half. In fact, it's not only like half - it is half! I hope that brings you value if you haven't yet got the game yet.[/p][p]Well, that's it - that's the update! I'm working hard on Episode 2 - the demo is coming along well - the music's been made by Wayne Simpson, many voices are being recorded this week by Martinus Van Tee and Pete I'Donoghue's starting on sfx and ambience audio this week too. Those who may have a vague idea of the production pipeline might know this is a good sign since these things happen towards the end of production - at least that's how I structure things. So, all things being equal, still targeting a public release of the demo next month (April) if I can make it happen. I look forward to releasing it since it feels like I've been working on it for a long, long time.[/p][p]Happy days, thanks for reading. 🙏[/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello friends! A wrap-up of news in the Bru & Boegie Baldiverse![/p][p][/p][h2]Flash Game Vibes 2026 Festival + 35% Off Discount[/h2][p]I'm thrilled that 'Bru & Boegie: Episode 1' is included in the Flash Game Vibes 2026 festival that takes place here on Steam from the 7-20 Feb 2026. As part of the 2-week festival, the game is 35% off - the lowest it's ever been! It's already pretty cheap, so hopefully the discount will attract new players to the world of Bru & Boegie, and I hope peeps stick around for and are looking forward to Episode 2 and 3. Episode 2 is already panning out to be a couple orders of magnitude bigger than Episode 1.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Korean[/h2][p]The latest v1.26 update includes a KOREAN translation of the game's text dialogue and UI. The game has now been translated into 3 languages:[/p]

[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Episode 2 & 3 WIP[/h2][p]I've been hard at work on Episode 2 (and some of Episode 3), and it looks like the demo for Episode 2 should be ready for launch some time in April - almost exactly a year after I first released the first build of Episode 1 on itch.io. I include some work-in-progress images of Episode 2 and 3 below. I don't yet have a Steam page up for Episode 3, hopefully that'll be up in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, please be sure to wishlist Episode 2 if you haven't already![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for reading, and I hope you've had a great time playing Bru & Boegie: Episode 1.
