No one's made a GAF > Internet > GAF joke yet? :lol
But seriously, thank you to everyone who picked up the Dudebro story, we really appreciate it. There will be more to come =)
If any GAFfers volunteered and then fell off the map a bit, (there are a few of you, I know) we'd love it if you hopped back on the project. Post in the stickied thread, get on IRC and/or PM me to let us know you're back in the game!
And if any GAFfers would like to volunteer for the first time, by all means, PM me to let me know what you'd like to help with and I'll give you details on where to get started.
Lastly, I thought you guys might like to see what we've accomplished in the last two months. I make these progress reports every month, so this was as of a day and a half ago:
- Amassed an army of 107 volunteers
- Implemented an efficient means of collaboration with Dropbox
- Decided upon a game engine, a platform, a genre and a style
- Drawn up a game design document
- Created a playable pre-alpha build, with enemy AI and some art assets already in
- Finalized the scripts for the attract scene, prologue and first three chapter, and written a rough draft of the fourth chapter
- Written more than four dozen lines for Dudebro to say during gameplay
- Composed 50 original pieces of music
- Recorded 37 original sound effects
- Recorded 84 voice samples
- Created about four dozen pieces of concept art, as well as dozens of mockups and meme images
- Created a new Dudebro logo
- Rendered and textured 15 3D objects and characters
- Set up a Twitter account, a Facebook page, a CafePress store, a wiki and a teaser Web site for promoting Dudebro
- Created a name for our team, Grimoire Assembly Forge, as well as a logo and a simple yet functional Web site
- Purchased www.dudebro2.com, www.dudebrothegame.com and www.grimoireassemblyforge.com
- Written a press release to announce the game, which will be sent to media outlets 27 hours from now
You guys have come a long way and I'm excited to see the finished product.
