Support NeoGAF

[ThirstyFly]

Great to hear, I can imagine there will be a lot of nice campaigns and stages that will get more exposure when the Workshop is up.

Any news when the next update is coming?

They haven't given a date, but one of the programmers said he's working on the Workshop integration for "the next week or two". I have no idea if that's planned for the next update or just what's currently on his plate, though.

I'm really excited about what they've said they improved/fixed in the editor. It should make building classic platforming style levels a lot better.

ha...that Contra Bromake is dope. I'll definitely try the DuckTales one for sure.

Any other recommended levels?

Thanks man. I'm glad people are finally checking it out.

As for recommended levels, look for this series:

World 1 - Lush Plain
World 2 - North City
World 3 - Dry Temple
World 4 - Gutter Beach
World 5 - Virulent Shaft

They're by a poster on the Broforce boards and are amazing. Well, I've only had time to do the first 2 worlds, but I assume they rest are good. Very challenging and he does a lot of crazy tricks with glitches and stuff.

You'll have to look back a few pages though as they're about a month old. I think he published them under the name "Slave Deads".

Okay, I mostly just want more characters, enemies and content overall.

Can't believe they haven't added a Dirty Harry character yet, Eastwood needs some damn representation!

Heh. Funny you should mention Dirty Harry.

There's a big Bro suggestions thread on their board and the use Harry as an example of what they look for in a "bro":

Bit of trivia!

The earliest stereotypical "bro" in a movie was probably Dirty Harry (played by Clint Eastwood) in 1971. He was a cop, and a good guy, but he was reckless, manly and not afraid of violence. He used guns to get the job done and doesn't show a moment of fear in the movie. Like when he says "Do you feel lucky? Well do you Punk?".

Though it is arguable that Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name is an even earlier incarnation of a bro.

No mention on why he isn't in the game though. I can only assume it's because the weapons he's seen using in the movie are a little plain, but I wouldn't be surprised if he made it in at some point.

I'm hoping for Mad Max, myself. The trailer for Fury Road got me all hyped up and I really want to make an original level based on Beyond Thunderdome.

 

[ThirstyFly]

So the devs made a comment on the steam boards about the new update. This is a couple of days old but my computer died so I just saw it now:

Hey, sorry for our radio silence. We did expendabros, and after that we went to gamescom which took quite a bit of our time. It looks like our next update will only be ready around the end of this month, but it will be a large one. Then hopefully we should be back to doing approximately monthly updates.

So, big update around the end of the month!

Workshop support is coming along nicely

Awesome. Throwing we've requested and have been talking about on the official boards. So glad they're adding it. I wanted a full on Super Mario Bros 2 style character, but realistically, that would probably be way too hard to add at this point and introduce too many glitches.

Max is the character I was waiting for too. Time to start making my Thunderdome level!

 

[More_Badass]

Mook throw, bro!

 

[More_Badass]

So...

1) Update coming Tuesday or Wednesday according to the Steam forums

2) The Bride is in!

3) Devlog Video 2

The game crashed twice when I started it up. Had to restart Steam and took a long while to boot up Broforce. At least 5 minutes. But when I got in game everything ran fine except the hud disappeared for a while and then re-appeared and the game started slowing down really bad in one level of Arcade mode.

Otherwise, I'm glad I got this. Can't wait to see more Custom Levels and being able to pick and choose which Bro you want on your team (I hate Indiana with a passion) and a couple more bosses and enemy types.

 

[Ingueferroque]

I still want this on Vita, if that makes me a port beggar, so be it.

Yay!

I wish we could get the Expendabros content as well, I'd pay for it as DLC.

 

[More_Badass]

Well the big additions in the Expendabros will be integrated into the main game. This recent update has stuff like the sawblades and rocket enemy, and the devs said they definitely want to add the RC car bomb special

 

[ElTopo]

Can't wait to see some Super Meat Boy custom levels.

 

[ThirstyFly]

Oh man, I can't wait to dive into the improved editor and fix up my Contra remake.

Probably won't be able to get to it until November though.

 

[More_Badass]

Alien progress

 

[More_Badass]

 

[ThirstyFly]

Awesome! Thanks for posting the updates.

I've been too swamped with other games to keep up with Broforce, but I'm waiting for the alien update to improve my levels.

 

[More_Badass]

New update!

Bringing class as only he knows how, Double Bro 7 is drinking martinis, flying his Bro-Textron jet pack, cutting up terrorists with his laser shooting Omega wrist watch - and even going deep undercover in enemy territory.

In a shocking development from the world of Broforce, a mysterious new User-Generated Island has been discovered just off the coast of the World Map. The planet's smartest scienticians have speculated that the newly discovered landmass is quietly being populated with the best, most patriotic user-created missions from Steam Workshop in time for the game’s full launch later next year.

And more screenshots of alien progress

 

[Graphics Horse]

Bromega wrist watch, surely?

 

[ElTopo]

I want to see a PredaBro.

 

[Darth Kupi]

Any Russian Bro here interested in opening a russian 4 pack?

The other 3 copies are not region restricted.

 

[CosmicSmash]

This dev is incredible. This is the one and only game I was proud to support via early access.

 

[ThirstyFly]

Anyone talking part in the level creation contests?

I keep missing them. Hopefully next theme will be something I can work with and remember to actually make a level this time.

 

[More_Badass]

Broforce got Aliens now!

http://youtu.be/lMeXhJa4x1Y

IT'S OUT! The world of Broforce has become infested with aliens - new alien enemies, deathly traps and boss fights! This is our biggest update yet, and it's definitely been challenging. We are pumped to finally be getting it into your hands, and can't wait to hear your feedback!

Deadly spike traps kill instantly. Facehuggers, on the other hand, aren't as kind. Be a bro, and kill your team mate before they burst into even bigger problems.

 

[ElTopo]

Need a PredaBro.

This bump has reminded me that it's been far too long since I fired this up.
Will rectify that as soon as I get home.

Is this a Sony exclusive?

I'm looking at it in my list of Steam games right now.

Think he means in terms of consoles

Is this a Sony exclusive?

Not coming to Xbox

Sony reached out to us with a deal we couldn’t reasonable refuse,” said Free Lives Games’ creative direct Evan Greenwood. Greenwood also ruled out a Xbox One release. “As far as I know Microsoft has a clause in their contract where they won’t accept an indie game if it launches on Xbox after PlayStation,” explained Greenwood.

On the other hand, the ID@Xbox director said this in response

"Hey, I just wanted to come in here to say that Broforce looks rad, and it’s cool they have a good deal with Sony. As far as I can tell from checking this afternoon, they have never contacted ID@Xbox about coming to Xbox, so our policies don’t really come into it, not really sure why they brought that up.

We’ve said before we want to make sure every game that wants to come to Xbox One can do it, and if developers have any questions they should get in touch with us at id@xbox.com. (And yes, I’d love to see Broforce come to Xbox One!)"

Yeah i might get this on pc but i would prefer to play this on my gamepad....

Game has controller support on PC

wiiu gamepad , obviously this game should be played with a controller...

 

[m@cross]

Played this at PaxEast, assuming it was probably the PC version. Crazy game with a seemingly constant influx of events and enemies from action movies. Was a lot of fun, especially with multiple people. Can't wait for it to drop on PS4, hope it supports online coop mode as well.

 

[ElTopo]

Just re-installed it but I just wanted to check: have the devs finally implemented the option to choose which bros you get? There's a couple that I really hate like Indiana and the Planet Terror Rose Mcgowan one.

 

[More_Badass]

More "Brodator" GIFs

 

[Sini]

I wish they would fix some bugs too instead of only making new content. I tried to play it few days ago with my friends but we couldn't because it still had the bugs that affected us year ago. Also they still haven't fixed menus going off screen, neither they have improved general menu usability.

 

[World SkiFree]

Yeah i might get this on pc but i would prefer to play this on my gamepad....

Why not both? I play this on my laptop with 360 controller.

Very cool.

I haven't really experienced much in the way of technical problems with Broforce.

 

[Pizza]

Broforce lagged my computer on some of the more intense levels. Chain explosions would slow the game down, as would the alien levels.

No clue why though! I love this damn game

Did you report it on Steam? The only problems I've had was after one update (I think it was when they added The Bride) was that game's hude would disappear and other weird graphical effects. After restarting the game I never experienced the problem again and another patch came out soon after.

 

[jaundicejuice]

PredaBro? I have to re-install this game. Broforce is like the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[More_Badass]

July 4th just got more bro-tastic

New update includes

THE BROCKETEER

BROHEART

Individual melee attacks

And most important of all, Flexing
