BallBuds The Game

Ballbuds is an upcoming creature collection game that hits different--this one's for the grown ups.

Thank you so much for your support! We're doing great, and we're gonna keep at it. Just posted the update video. Quick caveat--the content itself is a couple of months old since we recorded and screengrabbed, so things are actually further along than the video suggests, but we will keep updates coming more regularly in the future.

Seriously, thanks again for the support!
-Jon "The Chairman" Lau

My Dearest Gamers and Lovers,
Quick blurb here: we are behind on releasing the update (with visuals!) I mentioned, for which I just ask for continued patience and understanding. In addition to rolling power outages affecting half of our team due to the energy crisis being cause by the Iran war (half the team is in Pakistan), our only video editor recently went to the hospital. We have confirmation that he is alive and not dying, thank God, but not sure when he will be back to work. Hopefully in the next week or so, but we actually have no clue as of this moment. Once he is back we will drop a quick video update including some screengrabs from our team ASAP.
All this is to say the most important thing remains 100% true--we absolutely are making this game. Progress is slower than we would like at this moment, but progress is NOT zero. The war has slowed things down--but it definitely hasn't stopped them. The devs and artists across all locations are still working as much and as hard as possible to build this game into something f*cking incredible.
As always, thank you for your support.
Love,
The Chairman (Jon Lau)
(recent sculpts for attention)

Hey, Chairman Jon Lau here.
Today is the LAST DAY of the BallBuds Kickstarter campaign… which will NEVER again be offered for a price this low after tonight.

Share the campaign with your friends, ex-lovers, coworkers, therapists—whoever you think can handle it. Let’s send this thing off like the glorious dumpster fire it deserves to be.
https://t.co/djxcvL73w7

Yesterday we smashed the $140K stretch goal, and that means the BallBuds Modder’s Kit is officially unlocked! That’s right—with that you’ll be able to create and customize your own content for Single Player and Co-Op modes.

This is the last major stretch goal of the campaign—and it’s the perfect way to end: by handing the creative power right back to the community that made this insanity possible. From the bottom of our dark, caffeine-soaked hearts: thank you for believing in this madness, funding it, and helping us prove that monster-taming can, in fact, be metal as hell.

Here's the link one more time: https://t.co/djxcvL73w7

Let’s finish strong. Let’s finish loud.
– The Chairman

Kickstarter Update: $120K REACHED – EXECUTIONS ARE IN
You wanted it—now you got it. At $120K, we’ve officially unlocked custom melee capture execution animations for EVERY BallBud. Yep—you can now capture your creatures the way God intended: by murdering them with extra brutality! (Humorous "Kid mode" versions of each execution will also be coming)
Nintendo-proof creature capturing at its finest!

But wait—that's not all! Our Discord degenerates came up with something so cursed we couldn’t not do it. So now we have a NEW STRETCH GOAL! Don't worry—it doesn't affect the stretch goals that were already there. At the new $130K goal, we’re unlocking:

SEXY WAIFU EXECUTIONS
That’s right. Waifu BallBuds can now execute YOU (and NPCs) with moves straight out of a special-kind-of-dream:
Smothered by thighs
Strangled by tail
Tender “Monster cuddles” gone way too far

Next stop: $130K. Let’s make it weird.
–The Chairman

BallBud Name: Infernotail
BallBudpedia Code: F1.C
Maturation Stage: Adult
Element Classification: Fire
Combat Classification: Artillery
Engagement Protocol: Land/Sea, Ranged

Description:
Infernotail’s ultimate move, Sunspike Beam, is basically a giant middle finger to everything in its path. It fires a concentrated inferno so intense, it looks like the sun got drunk and started a bar fight. Enemies caught in the blast don’t just burn—they cease to exist. But don’t get too cocky—Infernotail’s defense is weaker than your excuse for skipping Thanksgiving with the in-laws. One well-placed hit, and this glass cannon’s toast.

Sounds like we should get a trophy for that or something. I hope we didn't ruin your day too horribly! Like, if you were about to have sex, but then saw this, and not even Viagra could get you hard again, I'd feel awful.

Our sincerest and deepest apologies. We'll change anything and everything, because we want you to be rock hard for the next time!

BallBuds: The Game is an open-world first-person shooter meets monster-taming chaos set in an alternate Earth where powerful creatures called BallBuds roam free. After a catastrophic shipwreck strands a group of survivors on a mysterious island chain, two warring factions form—one driven by toxic bravado, the other by performative woke idealism. Armed with ancient alien tech and deadly BallBuds, you must choose a side, uncover the dark secrets of BudCorp, and fight for control of the islands. Along the way, you’ll tame, train, and battle over 150 unique BallBuds, each with devastating abilities and twisted personalities.

Whether you’re going solo or teaming up with (or betraying) your friends, you’ll face brutal combat, explore sinister research labs, and make choices that shape your story in a world of high-stakes adventure and dark humor. Will you master the power of the BallBuds—or get crushed beneath their claws?

@AndrewT20555937 Hahaha, I can see similarities for sure! I appreciate your thoroughness! 😉

[BallBuds The Game @BallBuds]

@BraveSirJon Thank you! Yes, there is DEFINITELY more coming. This is just the start!

[BallBuds The Game @BallBuds]

Dude, it's Sunday! Lighthearted trolling is a fantastic way to blow off steam from the week (as I'm sure you know from experience 😉)

Well, if you follow our posts over time, you'll see more and more of our content, and we hope to help you eventually realize this "game" is actually a "GAME!"

Still baby stages, just under a year into development, but creators have to start somewhere!
