Hello everyone! It's been a long while, isn't it? like a year or so. There is a lot to address and mention, but just to make it clear, I'm okay, and development of the mod has made a lot of progress relatively recently.
Nonetheless, I apologize for the lack of updates on what occurred with the project, seemingly like silently cancelled, but don't worry, it's here to stay under my watch.
before I continue, i want to personally thank to my good friend pans_and_art who made the wonderful banner artwork you are seeing right now. Absolutely marvelous and very thankful for the work. Check out their stuff if you're interested!

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED BEHIND THE SCENES???"
Well, a lot of stuff happened behind the scenes, mostly stuff that I will not address since they can get personal and I don't feel comfortable sharing them publicly but to explain in a vague way; I was busy handling something and now that it's over, my attention for BBN has returned to one of my top priorities as of now.
I've also been busy with other FNF mod projects, especially made by close friends, so you will likely see my work through their upcoming projects too!
In terms of what happened with BBN development at that time, lots of changes behind the scenes and the direction of how I was approaching this mod. Essentially, the biggest problem with the mod was that it was way too bloated and ambitious for its own good. That is considering that I was the only one working on the mod, so I made the decision to reduce the amount of stuff planned to make it realistically reachable.
For instance, the demo is going to now only include three songs as a free sampler of what to expect, these songs themselves are not going to be like the final 'experience' just to demonstrate the songs, setting and characters to get a feel for this new take I'm going for.
I'm going to take my time to go through some of the new stuff completed and changed for this new direction I'm going. I hope it is understandable and I'll try to keep you guys updated what occurs with the project

THERE IS FINALLY OTHER PROGRESS OUTSIDE OF MY WORK!!!
During recent months, I had actually assembled a small team to help out with the project and I've never been grateful to be with close friends and people helping out to make this dream project come into a reality.
For the first thing I want to demonstrate, here is a teaser snippet of the upcoming song called "Sound of Silence" made by @KaneSucks 
it's subject to change overtime but as of now, I'm incredibly happy with how the song is going and honestly made me incredibly happy that all the hard work is paying off. Can't wait for you guys to hear it!
Other news, I got other close friends to help out with said project, such as wulsy helping out with the coding of the project and Billy with helping certain parts of the art direction if I seem to be stuck. There are others but I'll remain them private and their work too until further notice.
But I can definitely demonstrate some other stuff done for the mod since then
Official redesigns for BF and GF
Last year, I felt motivated to simply rework the designs for the characters to make them different and more of my liking for this brand new take. They will also be vastly different from other mod interpretations, but overall, I'm way more content with this.
Finalized note designs
The previous notes got lost and no way to get them back so I took the time to reuse ones I've wasn't using anymore and made them for this mod and it worked out well! can't wait have this implemented in game
3D models for characters
Yup! and made by yours truly! To tell the truth, I wasn't even sure if I was going to keep this idea with how ambitious it is, but after some consideration, I think I found the perfect way to integrate this into the mod. I will not reveal how yet, but it does involve Roblox Studio... You will just have to wait and see
(behind the scenes picture test)
UI progress too (mockups) (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
For this, I've been working to finish the UI so we can implement it in the mod once and for all. These mockups above are pretty old, and the new ones will be better, and I'm sure you guys will enjoy it when it's released.
Redesigns
I've also gone through the process of redesigning a lot of stuff from last time, most notably being John Doe, because it was kinda plain and I wanted to throw out my own take, different from the rest.
there is another character redesign, but you guys will have to wait till the mod is released. It's a bit ambitious, but I think it's manageable and you guys will enjoy this brand new retake
also in other news

Fixy1332 is dead and no longer coming to the mod
the reason of this is with complications with it's creator and felt it was appropriate to let the character go and rest. I apologize to like... the two people who were exited to see fixy in the mod but it's no longer happening
But don't fret... WE HAVE A REPLACEMENT!!!
with the help of my friend Bill, we have worked and have the new replacement character ready for the future... you guys have no idea what to expect. For now, have this little teaser of whom that character is

and that is pretty much it lol
so there is still a lot to do but I'm very confident to be able to get the free sampler demo out sometime in the future, and I'm gonna make sure that happens, despite what happens. I've now worked on this mod for three years now and nothing is going to stop me now
Thank you guys for the ongoing support and help throughout the years and I'm very exited to see this project come to light in the future. Genuinely thank you
Take care and see you guys in a distant but not far away future
