Also make sure you do lots of playtesting to make sure your updates have as few bugs as possible and that its actually enjoyable.

We did do a lot of play testing. The reason we didn't catch one of the crash bugs was because the computers we tested on are Quad-cores. So the computers were able to process the memory fast enough. Now for Dual-cores they just couldn't keep up with the process. So it would hard crash.
I'm not even sure if I explained that good enough. lol

shame that this isn't in the game, because that's cool.
Wow, the developers actually seem to be really cool guys.
Also Supermoose seems really friendly.

I mean stuff like running around and shooting while taunting. While its hilarious i doubt that was meant to happen. Also anyone can see the level layouts need work, same with the "gun". Playtesting helps with things that arent black and white like crashes.

We knew about the shooting while taunting. We did that a lot in multiplayer ;) Some people actually like that but on a professional level. It might be smart for us to make it where you can taunt but as soon as you shoot or move. You go back to normal.

Actually, the best thing to do might be to just not let the player do anything until the taunt is over, like in Team Fortress 2.

Some taunts are a lot longer than others. So it would become a problem also.

If this was released for the nintendo 64 back in the day it would be huge
[QUOTE=Supermoose76;35890639]We are about to discuss more of that in a office meeting. There is 3 major thinks we want to work on first though.
1. Polish up the levels. Make each one have a theme, better pathing, better textures.
2. UI art. We want to make this game feel not so much like l4d!!!
3. Throw out the single morphing weapon. Bring in 5 new weapons, off-hand items "alien grenade ;)" and melee weapons.[/QUOTE]
If you manage to fix-up your game then I swear to god I'll buy two four-packs and throw them at people.
Also, never change the Level 5 boss (the blue one). His attacks almost made me die of laughter.
All of the four protagonists should be remade, they seriously look like they're from Second Life or something.
give them all spandex and mustaches
[editline]9th May 2012[/editline]
it would fit the taunts
If you need more playtesters maybe you can talk with steam to give players a extra game option. Like the CS:S beta and TF2 beta. So if they want to see the new stuff being worked on they can.

After the really nice conversation I followed in this thread I'd volunteer for playtesting. Shit, I'd even buy the game and gift three copies to some people. But I really need to see changes happen. Even though I was skeptic in the first place and thought to myself: "Jesus, what the heck is goin' on here?" - If you guys want to improve I'll help you out the best way I can.

That is our plan. You must mean Level 1 boss "Ik" He is going to stay how he is. There is 3 levels and each level has 5 chapters. We got a UI artist now :)
I really respect how you are acting Supermoose, good job mate.

Hope you like your new title. :v:
I love how everyone was bagging this, and expected the devs to be childish about the hate towards the game, but Supermoose pops in, and everyone is like "Oh, you are so nice I'd love to help you with your game".
I actually hope this turns out to be an indie success.
I'd love to play Coop with some of the devs. Sort of like how Totalbiscuit does on some of his videos.

Yeah it's called damage control, and it sure works.
Edit:
Just to make it clear, i think this is a silly PR stunt and you're all falling for it. If those guys manage to make a cent out of this, then that's a sad disaster, considering that pretty much every single source mod is [i]at least[/i] five times better, and how much did their creators make ? nothing at all.
i think is beyond damage control and it'd be hard to fix up this game with a complete rewrite
case in point is the weapon changes... i wouldn't bother adding 5 different weapons to replace that one that no one likes
patch up stuff you can't see (ie. AI, pathfinding etc.) and call it a day... right now the only thing going for 2012 is the fact it is quite funny and you have that 'so bad its almost good vibe'... don't actually try to make it 'good'
THEN start up on Revelations 2014 with the lessons you've learnt

I'm trying to be as real as possible with everyone and I hope we can turn this game around!!
We just talked about getting rid of the gauntlet weapon to make 5 NEW WEAPONS!! Are only artist is getting overwhelmed right now. So i'm going to try to find someone that can help him out. We need concept artists, environmental artist, prop or weapon modeler. We did find a UI artist. So that is one less thing off his shoulders. We aren't asking much out of people though because it is free work. Hopefully if we get help we can some how reward those people later on down the road :)

Add me on steam. I think my addy is Brant "supermoose" Weeks. I'll play with you sometime.
I hope TB doesn't do a review on our game until we get these features into the game. Which might take up to 4 to 6 months depending on the help we get.
