Hey there everybody, Here are a few impressions of our upcoming platformer "The Other Brothers". We released a demo a few days ago and the response was very positive! The game will be available on iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac/PC and Android. You can visit our main site here: http://tobgame.com Our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/theotherbrothersgame We have a forum as well: http://www.tobgame.com/forum/ Feel free to ask any questions Thomas P.
Haha... thanks for your "impatience" Well there is still a bit of work to be done but rest assured we do our very best to get it done asap! The game is coming together nicely and we just added PS3 and xBox controller support as well for those who would want to play those instead of keyboard on the Mac/Win version of the game.
What he said! We've all been waiting for this forever, and we're dying to get our Brothers on. Soon, please - no, sooner!
If I get more coffee I will code this game faster, I'm already going flat out on it. We're 100% guilty of some feature creep here wanting to give you more and more and more!
Feature creep and a different approach for level design has resulted in levels taking much longer to complete. However, on the bright side the levels are unique and allow for exploration (multi-path) and so much more! Additionally it allows us to use certain mechanics to spice up the game even more (pull a lever here, step on platform over there, push button in oder to turn things on/off). We've also put a shitload of work into extending the engine itself to allow for awesome visuals. Characters, enemies have realtime shadows and awesome AI! A weather system with rain and thunder, Light and Shadow areas in which the player actually really get affected by it and a ton more. A new Parallax system etc. We wanted to make sure that "The Other Brothers" is "different" and "fun". This of course meant we had to ditch our previous approach and therefore we have to play "ketchup" now Looks like the "Impatience" list is growing! Get in line guys....
Does anyone here have the 8-bitty controller? I am personally interested in this device and think it would be fun to use it to play "The Other Brothers".
Added you to the ever growing list of "The Famous Impatient"! We're currently doing some bug fixes (Rob is) while I am working on a new level. It's definitely fun seeing it come together so nicely.
We would like a handful more beta testers. If you would like to get a playable demo level please respond to this thread as to why we would pick you. Please no PM What we need are testers who really go on the bug-hunt and write up their "experience" on our forum afterwards. The current beta is playable on Mac/Win (keyboard, ps3, xbox360 controller supported).
