Description
The Adventures of Bluke Bifton is a bizarre, hand-drawn adventure game set in a world of absolute absurdity. Journey across the once-peaceful Isle of Flungo, crafting alliances (or making enemies) with a wide cast of strange, fully-voiced characters. With a major focus on interactions and choices, every decision you make impacts your journey. It's time to meet some new friends, make some unexpected choices, and stand up against some violent, quite-possibly-insane foes! Uh... hope you're ready for an adventure!
History
Long ago, in the ancient year of 2019, two homies - Josh Edwards & crelish - had a strange idea for a game, and development on The Adventures of Bluke Bifton began. Inspired by choose-your-own-adventure books and choice-driven games, the two set out drafting a branching storyline, designing characters and coding up a storm. The duo had worked on some fun smaller projects before, but this marked the beginning of their first full-on endeavour into game-making!An initial version of the game materialized over about a year's time, and in August 2020 a group of very rad people on Kickstarter helped crowdfund the first chapter of Bluke's journey. In the years since, the Brainloaf boys have worked with tons of talented people to polish up and complete this opening chapter, including voice actors, a composer, and many friends. They've also participated in a bunch of game jam contests for fun, and won a few awards along the way.Now, with the game all polished and eye-scorchingly shiny, Bluke's adventure is finally ready to begin! Well, it's also the has-been mascot Captain Munch's story, and that shirtless, buff-as-hell duck's too. Don't forget the sentient block of parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

JOSH EDWARDS
Code Wizard
aka programmer, but that doesn't sound as cool
Josh has been making games since he was nine. Well... maybe it's a bit generous to call what he was able to put together back then "games," but it's the thought that counts - he's always loved the medium.It's Josh's job to keep the inner organs of Brainloaf's games from failing. He does okay. He also writes a lot of dialogue for said games. If you have any concerns about how stupid that dialogue is, don't come to him. He wrote it that way on purpose.In the past few years, Josh has been concocting The Adventures of Bluke Bifton in his magic code cauldron while also taking on some game jams for fun!

Crelish enjoys only the most sophisticated of stories and jokes. Haha just kiddin', he likes poop jokes. He aspires to maybe make something with a serious tone some day. Today is not that day.
