BFDI: Branches is a fan game, and is not canon to BFDI.
How to install BFDI: Branches Demo (Windows):
- Click the download button on the BFDI: Branches itch.io page, and wait for the download to finish.
- Open the File Explorer (Win + E).
- Open the Downloads folder.
- Right click the downloaded BFDI Branches folder, and click Extract All.
- Open the extracted folder, open the second BFDI Branches folder inside.
- Right click bfdibranches.exe, and click Open.
- The "Window has protected your PC" window will show up for the first time only. Click "More info" then "Run anyway." You may have to whitelist the program in your antivirus software to open the game.
- If the game does not automatically open, right click bfdibranches.exe, and click Open.
How to update BFDI: Branches Demo:
If there is a new update, it will show up as a button in the bottom center of the home menu. They will also be announced in the #update-log channel in the BFDI: Branches Discord.
- Click on the update menu of the bottom center of the home menu. DO NOT click the update button a second time, and DO NOT close the game before it has updated. This can corrupt the update process, which will make you have to reinstall the game. When the game has finished downloading the update, it will forcibly close by itself.
- After the game forcibly closes, open bfdibranches.exe again.
Troubleshooting:
The game is not opening: Try right clicking bfdibranches.exe, and clicking Open again.
Updating the game does not work/My account info does not save: The folder is likely in read-only mode, which prevents files from being edited. Right click the main BFDI: Branches folder, and go into its properties. Change the read-only settings to allow files inside of the folder to be overwritten.
My game data not saving: To fix this, do NOT run the game through a shortcut, run it through the application in the BFDI: Branches folder.
How do I log in/use Online Levels/use Gelatin's Shop: Accounts and Online Levels are unlocked after beating the demo's Story Mode, which is a tutorial and 4 levels. Account login is in the bottom right of the Home Menu in the person and gear icon, and Gelatin's Shop, Inventory, and Profile Settings are in the profile icon in the bottom right of the Home Menu.
How do I get Branch Coins for Gelatin's Shop: After beating Story Mode, go to Online Levels and beat Spotlight Levels. The higher the difficulty they are, the more Branch Coins you will earn.
How do I go back to Edit Mode after playing a level in the level creator: Press Enter.

Ideas:
Add a 4 and X boss game
Add a character Randomizer Item that when touched: Randomizes your character, this will add for difficulty and strategy maps
Make it easier to change your character in editor please, it will be easier to test which characters can complete the level
Add Dynamic Rotation, so when a character is on a slope, they rotate to be properly standing, like on hills for example. This will make the game feel cleaner
this game is awesome keep up the work cant WAIT for full game!
give me more shellmet variants!!!!!
i think my game uninstalled itself
(it vanished from my files)
also i believe it did that because we have a software that deletes games that have malware
beefy branches has MALWARE???
i mean a lot of itch.io and gamejolt games get flagged as malware by computers and stuff so its nothing
i wonder what software did devloper use to make the game
they use godot
specifically apparently godot 4.2.1 custom build (or Godot 4.3) as TileMapLayer didn't exist until Godot 4.3
i dont get what are Win Tokens for can someone explain what are they for to me?
like are they just some silly tokens to collect or are they for something else?
yeah,theyre just collectibles
9/10
the only thing that you can improve is the incomplete story mode i guess idk
its only demo
so, I see videos of mobile players playing Bfdi branches, even though you can’t, how do they do this?
there's some method, most likely getting it off the internet (even though simplest, it's not the safest, thanks to potential viruses), the other way is if you have experience with Godot itself, you can just decompile the game (you may wanna extract the svg from the pck itself since it's webp and you gotta convert it to svg) and make it mobile [there's actually a mobile controls that went unused, but you could make it used]. (not the simplest, but it's the safest)
idk
Uhh I'm pretty sure this isn't intended behavior: For some reason, whenever I try to update (from 0.1.3 to 0.1.6.1 if that helps), the bg music fades out and completely crashes me out of the game once it fully fades out. It seems to happen randomly, but 99.9% of the time immediatly when I click update, though it DID happen once when I was on 200 megabytes downloaded, which also only happened once I launched the game with admin perms. Should I be concerned? Could have my data become corrupted in that one time? How do I fix this bug and actually update without any crashes?
Edit: Didn't notice the "how to update" section,.., Still didn't work though, even though the game did close as intended, it still says I'm on v0.1.3.
how to get level spotlighed?
make a gud level with time i guess idk
how do you login?
why do mfs make their levels unplayable
no pain no gain
have you ever heard of kaizo
please fix downloads make faster downloads
thats an issue with your internet connection and/or itch.io, team branches cant do anything about either of those
guys why cant i go to the online levels??? it says "outdated client, please update the game"
just update the game then
i cant save game progress,instructions on itch io dont work.
i want a patch that runs on unsupported hardware
its updated guys
