What is BUDD?
BUDD is a retro sci-fi adventure platformer game I've been working on since 2021! It's loosely inspired by retro SEGA games I loved, like Monster World IV or the Phantasy Star games.
It stars Eris, a rookie bounty hunter that's found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. She needs to use friendly robots called BUDDs to help her repair her ship, finish jobs for her colony, and then eventually uncover a conspiracy spanning the entire Lumina System.
You can find more concise info and features on the game's Itch page. I'd like to use this page to get into more nitty gritty detail.
SAGE 2023 Demo
I just released a demo of the game for SAGE 2023! This demo has Verdeo, MARI-XIII's hub, a small part of Mizuli, and two top secret satellite missions found in the post-game!
The current patch, version 1.1, introduces a TON of quality of life additions and improvements. You can check out the patch notes on Itch.

The History of BUDD
The development of BUDD spans from 2020 to 2023, at least at the time of writing this. I tried to catalogue the entire history of it up to this point, but it actually ended up being a bit huge for this page alone!

The Characters of BUDD
There are a fair amount of characters Eris gets to know over the course of the game. If you're curious, I wrote up some bios for each of them! There are a few spoilery exceptions I had to leave out, though.
