Just for the hell of it, here's my attempt at Dudebro/dictator Fem: http://www.mediafire.com/?x02mz3yfmf2

I think scitek has by far the best voice for Dudebro so far, he absolutely nails it.

This needs to be addressed. I think beard whip should be replaced by bayonet slash/stab or something. Beard Whip can be a special attack or something.

After a couple PMs, thetrin informed me Dudebro's beard holds a machete, so there's our slicing. =P

 

[Irish]

V_Ben is definitely our British Chicken, but he has been usurped as DudeBro.

Can you give us some Brolling Stan, Reverend Brahnson, or Pesquali lines, thetrin? I'm going to pick up a cheap mic later on and try to record something (even if I'm not anybody, it should be extremely fun.). My camera just wasn't cutting it.

 

[-COOLIO-]

Here we go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaDzyEn2Tt8

that works

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I'd like the writing/dialogue to be less PC and generally make Dudebro seem more of a dislikeable cunt - A bit like Em Cee Gamer's dialogue but more extreme.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

"Want me to fuck the whole area, in the general area, if you get what I mean?"

:lol :lol :lol

Oh man this script is gold.

 

[whitehawk]

Can I sign up for sound? Would be really cool to be a part of this

 

[Billen]

Coop achievement from standing close heated situation: Feels Good Man.

 

[broony]

Browidth exceeded on on the OP. Surely a bro can be as wide as he fkin wants.

Kommie bastards.

you still need to find coders no? and figure out what they're coding in?

edit: nvm

just noticed programmers

 

[Why For?]

I think a Marcus Phenix type voice is perfect for DudeBro. Not that John DiMaggio would be interested.

 

[Scythesurge]

Dudes, this is totally shaping up to be something awesome. Super DudeBros.

 

[Monroeski]

This game needs more character art. Are you guys going to stick to the manly bearded guy as Dudebro? Shit I hope so. He should be a man's man. No emotional ties, no sentiment. Just adrenaline and manliness, with some collar popping and hot babes.

I just finished seeing Commando for reference and I started saying this in a trailer movie voice: :lol

WITH COLLAR POPPING COMES COLLAR BREAKING: DUDEBRO, MY SHIT IS FUCKED UP SO I HAVE TO SHOOT/SLICE YOU, COMING SOON, BRO-THOUSAND TEN.

*cue walking away from explosion in slow-mo*

ITS STRAIGHT UP DAWG TIME.

:lol

no way, dudebro should be a lovable douche

 

[whitehawk]

Sound/Music to specify.

I need to be a part of this :lol

 

[tenritsu]

What type of music are we looking for? I may also be able to help in that department.

 

[Ca1amity]

V_Ben is definitely our British Chicken, but he has been usurped as DudeBro.

Agreed.

If nothing's written we can just freestyle something or I guess even if we just speak a few mundane lines from a book - since its the voice itself that counts.

Anyway, when I get back home I'm gonna try Pesquali both as "vaguely ethnic" and straight Jersey douche. Am I reading into the character right to say that Pesquali is himself fluent in Bromance Languages - perhaps like Cobra Cmdr. to the rest of the Joe's; a soldier but on the opposite side?

 

[MNC]

3D max was failing on my HARD, took longer and worse than expected but it's not rough it's manly.

Carved with his own teeth, the Bro'nade Cluster Fucker - It shoots out tiny cocktail swords and bullets.

Spoiler

hope you like

It's looking good, but modelwise I see some weird extruding things near the edge... And a certain forum (coughmodacitycough) would kill people if they had those in the model So I dunno, I'm a really bad modeler, but can you show a wireframe?

 

[V_Ben]

Well, seeing as scitek did a pretty good job on the intro, i thought id throw my own attempt into the ring :lol

enjoy!

 

[thetrin]

hey guys, was just talking to Ultim8. Here's an early demo of the engine he's working on for use with Dudebro (which of course, is different from the TD shooter we have planned at the moment.)

What do you guys think? Should we change the game to match this engine?

(I love it btw)

i think itd be best if everyone on gaf sampled what they could do and whoever could make decisions from there.

I think it looks great! If we do it that way, though, will we still go with the prerendered look?

I mean I like the old top-down shooter idea, too. We could always do both (eventually).

 

[-COOLIO-]

so whats the coding being done in? i havnt figured it out from browsing the thread

 

[Twig]

It WAS Unity. I'm not sure what Ultim8's engine is coded in. I think Game Maker, assuming GM7 (which I saw mentioned somewhere) means Game Maker 7.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Unity 3D for the top-down shooter was last i heard.
There was interest in a text adventure game using Inform and there's a nifty "D side-scroller engine they're looking at also.

 

[Metroid Killer]

I think I liked the top-down idea better(and hey if thunder monkey joins the modeling crew, plus an animator on board, will make it doable), but if this makes everything easier then sure.

Is it sprites or polygon models? I fail to see -_-

 

[thetrin]

Ultima's engine demo is using GML. (Game Maker 7)

I have to wait until Mik wakes up so we can have a conversation and all be on the same page. For now you guys are just going to have to wait.

Right now, we're still looking at Unity, but this engine is ready to go.

Give us some time to iron things out.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

I think there's enough interest and overlap in the idea and assets that they may do both.

 

[MThanded]

I dont even...

 

[Carolina-blue]

I like this as well, looks pretty polished & could easily be done. If you guys go in this direction you could even possibly spend more time on the story/script/game design/crazy "Dudebro" aspect as the coding/programming would possible be faster/easier. I kinda like it alot as well, though I was feeling the top-down "Zelda-like" description as well.

 

[Calcaneus]

There's something so cool about how awesomely this is coming together, bravo dudebros.

 

[Tim-E]

Maybe it could be like Contra and have two different level types? You could do a sidescrolling level with exploration and shooting, which would be followed by Act II of the level, which could be the top down idea where you fight waves of enemies for a few minutes, followed by a boss?

Or fuck, two games could eventually be done.

 

[Danthrax]

Browidth exceeded on on the OP. Surely a bro can be as wide as he fkin wants.

Kommie bastards.

FFFFFUUUUU--

I'll rehost the images in a little bit and ask thetrin to change them in the OP.



my poor Photobucket won't reset for another 11 days =( :lol

 

[-COOLIO-]

It WAS Unity. I'm not sure what Ultim8's engine is coded in. I think Game Maker, assuming GM7 (which I saw mentioned somewhere) means Game Maker 7.

i know mik is big on the iphone, and if you guys wanted to go commercial that probably is the best way to go. is gamemaker something you could use on the iphone? can you sell game maker games?

originally i wanted to do something flash-like which was what ultim8s thing looked like.

as for 2d vs. 3d. well if its top down then 2d isnt too much work. if its 3d i guess you could go either way since animation and art is a whole different game.

i think top down is just better game play wise because you could have branching paths and and simpler yet deep gameplay, which would be another must for the iphone.

another scenario, is that two different games could be made?

Ok, Facebook page is up: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dudebro-MSIFUSIHTSSY2/196995673070. Things we still need to do for the page:

• Link it to the Twitter account (Danthrax, become a fan, and then I can make you an admin of it and you can do this)
• Put some money toward some ads
• Post profile badges/boxes around (I'd share the code but it doesn't seem to let me paste it here), see: http://www.facebook.com/facebook-widgets/index.php

Nice. We won't need to worry about putting money into advertising until the game is about to launch, though.

So, do you guys know of any cheap, but decent mics for me to go out and buy to try my hand with some of these voice sessions? My camera totally doesn't cut it. D:

Also, here's a boss concept (no art):

Low Bro

a somewhat short boxer (broxer) known for hitting beneath the belt.

 

[elevenstrings]

Here's a sneaky little theme. . Loading Music? Or perhaps bgm for a cutscene when he's taking care of business with Brolanda.

 

[Piano]

(a) That game engine looks really good. A consensus should be made soon on whether or not to use it.

(b) I'd love to contribute in any way I can...I guess I can voice act. I've also got a solid knowledge of photoshop, so I guess I could try my hand at some pixel art? Is anything else needed?

EDIT: Also, I can write music, but I have to programs on my computer with which to 'compose' it (i.e. make notes into a decent sounding song). What programs do you guys use to make music for something like this? I need to get in touch with software like that anyways, so I might splurge.

 

[MMaRsu]

Fuck yesssss finally a real thread for this brorific game .

I wish I could contribute but I don't really have any skills .

I tried to hook a bro up with a link to this brahsome thread. Needless to say, I do not look like a bro to my bro at the broment.
Bro, I am disappoint.

Spoiler

jk obviously

 

[spats]

Haha this thread exploded! :lol

I'd be happy to help out with this! I can provide art assets, whether it's bitmap, vector or 3d. (there's a link to my blog in my profile if you wanna view images)

Seems some kind of menu music.
