Did some testing today. We now have our first entries in the official bug tracker!
Click to expand...
Just one detail: the default controls have changed a bit. They'll be listed in the build description I'm preparing, detailing what's missing and what's placeholder, once QA starts officially.

- WASD to move
- left mouse button to shoot
- Q or Shift to pick up/throw stuff
- E to cycle through your weapons
- Spacebar to jump

The mouse wheel should be added as a secondary way to cycle through your weapons later down the line (not in the QA build), and the right mouse button will be assigned to slicing (slicing is not in the build yet).

Today I sent dentoomw a description of the build: how it controls, what's in, what's still out, what's placeholder, what are the desired behaviors for some elements, and what kind of feedback we need besides bughunting.

Hey Dudebro fans,

Apologies for not having posted here for some time, but glad to see a lot of excitement over the upcoming QA :)

I still need to get around to updating the test plan I have up on the Wave with the developer notes, It should be ready within the week. At the moment, I'm just getting the Brosquad testers up and running with access to the Wave and stuff. You should have received a PM from me about this if you signed up and were accepted before in the old old thread (which I can't seem to find at the moment, grrr)

cooljeanius actually went ahead and started testing even without all the documentation ready :D thats cool with me though, glad to see at least one of our testers is excited :lol

We're not leaving it to the fans to put things in order, but you can bet there will be the same amount of discussios. It's A LOT deeper than you would expect.

I'm still here! Just thought I'd do some chiming in. I've gotten ridiculously busy the last several weeks or so. But I'll be coming into a fuckload of permanent, daily free time in 2 weeks. I barely even have time to check GAF anymore, let alone bro some dudes, or even game.

2 weeks baby. 2 weeks.

I'm surprised you guys aren't switching over to Source after Alien Swarm just came out. it's tile based, has the 3rd person shooting, and is very easily mod-able. not to mention fantastic lighting. just something to think about... :)

... this is one of the biggest reasons why I believe we shouldn't.
We already sunk a good deal of time with Unity, switching over would mean redoing a lot of things from scratch, and we're already behind our schedule.
Unity is still a capable engine, and version 3 (scheduled to come out this Summer) has some really neat stuff.
If we started development today instead of months ago, we'd probably go with either Source or UDK.

If marketing wants some additional promo art for t-shirts, just give the word. Dudebro deserves to be everywhere in many varieties!

i hope i wont get banned for this but is there a console version planned? Does Unity work on the consoles at all?

Unity supports iPhone, iPad, WiiWare and PSN, and XBLA support is heavily rumored to be coming soon.
That said, we're focusing on finishing the game first. Honestly, I'd love to see it ported to every platform under the sun... but no one would want to play a bad game, so we need to make it good first.

Just wanted to update everyone that we've officially started the QA process :) Should be an interesting next few days... :D

Also, if anyone has sent me a PM and I have NOT replied, please just resend it again. I have to constantly clear out my inbox since I'm still capped at 50 messages lol :( so I may have read your message but simply forgotten to reply. My apologies if this has happened.

Hey, has anyone else here played Guerilla Bob for iDevices? I've been playing the lite version on my iPod Touch, and it's been reminding me of Dudebro for a few reasons:
• Character design is somewhat similar
• Looks like it's made in Unity
• Both are "dual stick" shooters
• Both are humorous
What do the rest of you think?

I did! I found out about this game back in February. At first I thought it was quite similar too, but it's actually really different (which is good) :)

Is it fun? I may have to put it on my iphone. Has anyone tried Alien Swarm yet? It looked pretty similar from the screens I saw.

2010, year of the top-down shooter?

Since we need more designs for shirts I'm gonna see if I can get my brother to design some stuff if he has time. Guy is magical with graphic design.

Hmm, thought Dacvak would make a new thread. Guess you guys have enough people without it?

Yeah, more T-shirt designs would be sweet. I really like the ones we have right now, too. The problem is that we'd need to spend money to upgrade our shop to put multiple designs on the same type of shirt ... right now, I have each design on separate types of T-shirts. And spending money to upgrade the shop kinda defeats the purpose of the shop, especially when we don't get many sales :lol

Okay just want some quick feedback. I was messing around and came up with this. I just want to know if it's worth continuing and finishing, otherwise I'll just scrap it.

It's totally worth it, man.
Extremely badass, as Sill4 said it would work perfectly for act 6-2.

Honestly, I didn't like Guerrilla Bob much. I hear it had a major update, though, so now it may be worth it.
Basically, you (used to) walk through linear levels with a small number of bullet sponge-ish enemies attacking you (3-4 tops at the same time). Kinda fun at first, but it got extremely repetitive fast. Hopefully the update fixed that.

EDIT: Sorry, I should have specified I was talking about Guerrilla Bob, not Alien Swarm.

Although I'm not involved with the project, just want so say: "I love it".

@Jocchan

It's not a very major update, mostly bugfixes as far as I'm aware of. But the game has many mod potential (source code will be made available, tilebased editor, add-on support etc.).
