Hey,
Shaz here, game designer on BFF or Die. This week we’d like to show you a 5 minute mini documentary about BFF or Die which was made in November 2017. Making this game has been a journey of over four years so far. As a small team there are a lot of different things we do other than make the game itself…!
In this vid, videographers Tom Lafferty and Jack Hynes tag along with me to co-working office Space4, the games showcase at Reading Comic Con, a meetup/party at UKIE who are one of the UK trade bodies for video games and to a London Indies meetup which is a game developer community group I’m part of.

It tends to be me who takes the game around to public events, that’s why you don’t see Alex, our artist, or Anj, our programmer in this vid. Hopefully you’ll see them in a future video if they let me do that..! They usually prefer to be left to work on the game is their secret bunkers :D
At this point we’ve seen around 2000 people play the game at various stages of development over the years at many different events. It’s been a great way to help us see how to improve the game by listening to feedback and also a lot of motivation to keep going after seeing all the positive reactions and hearing the nice comments. We’ll post something more in depth about that another time..!
Btw the gameplay shown in the mini documentary is, of course, now old and outdated so check out the latest trailer below for more recent gameplay footage.
