once again we will be using the amazing talents of Ridiculon for the OST of the Legend of Bum-bo! this sound track will mirror aspects of isaac and even toss in a few remixed tracks from it, but be more of a marching pace to fit the games vibe.
Matthias will also make his return as the games narrator, but this time as the voice of Bum-bo the brave! (as seen in the game intro cut scene).
we tried our best to make sure the game's sound effects reflected the cardboard diorama aesthetic, so most of the SFX Ridiculon and Jay created will be made with household objects and a range of vocalizations, if you listen close to the intro you can hear that all the sound effects are solely done by Matthias'...mouth ( bird sounds, woosh effects and the like ).
our goal is to make the game's visual themes bleed into every aspect of the game, including mechanically as well as story wise.
the OST will be for sale on Steam as well as the Ridiculon Bandcamp page.
Monday ill start talking about enemies, combat, and bosses!

Mini FAQ:
Q: will there be difficulty modes in bum-bo?
A: yes and no. Much like isaac bum-bo's difficulty scales with how much you play/unlock. it starts out on easy with characters that are more simple to play as, but the more you play and unlock, the harder the game becomes and the more challenging the characters you unlock become.
Q: did you actually make this game out of cardboard!!?
A: not really, the stuff in the trailer that is live action is real, but the in game stuff was all modeled in 3d by James with scans of actual paper and cardboard.
Q: will Bum-bo feature the religious themes that isaac had?
A: No, the themes explored in Isaac arent explored here, but there are thematic reasons for that. there are still nods to religious items, but the themes dont go beyond that.
Q: will Bum-bo find a new home with a different publisher in the wake of recent events with nicalis?
A: yes, we are currently very focused on finishing the game on pc first and once its done we will start trying to figure out how to get this thing on Switch. Bum-bo is not a nicalis game, its self published on Steam, we just need a publisher to get it on console.
