| Community | Expedition Log #5: Meet the Bosses! Hey guys! Today I will tell you about the boss encounters of OUTBUDDIES .

| Community | Expedition Log #1: The Beginning of a Journey Greetings! In 2013 I started the journey of my life, the challenge to create a metroidvania in the spirit of Super Metroid as a single man, and I did this next to being a daytime employee, husband, and (meanwhile) father.
