⭐ Welcome to the world of "Bary & Friends" ! 🌈

Bary and Friends, BaF or BaFs for short, is a show within the game series and project of the same name. BaFs has been in production since 2019, the plot and characters going through many changes until the finalized versions in late 2022.

The show, "Bary & Friends" was released in 1983 by RainbowCO in California, which was owned by two men called Oskar Williams and Sebastian Walker. In of itself, Bary and Friends was just like any other kids show. But the way it taught its messages let it become a national success in 1986, slowly but surely.

"Now, where is the twist?" - You might ask yourself, as the project does include horror and would, of course, not be happy forever.

Back at the near end of 1990, Oskar Williams was reported missing, and his corpse was found later in 1991. Not soon after, a man named Larry Chester took over production and would expand the world of Bary and Friends outside of television programming.

This was the start of "Bary's Rainbow World", an indoor playground with a massive array of attractions spanning from huge dining areas to even an arcade called "Bary's Arcade".

Now talking development.

The current game that I'm working on will be playing in "Bary's Arcade". The game itself will be some sort of mini-game simulator that will help me test out my skills in development and coding. The game is still in a pre-production phase, and I'm planning on building a community that would both help me with feedback for said development, and support for the characters.

If you're interested in seeing more information about the characters and production, feel free to scroll through the blog and check out the intro pages for each character:
