Dubwars Kickstarter!

Makkon

Hey guys, we've started up a kickstarter campaign for our game (and my first game) Dubwars! It's a twinstick shooter with bombastic weapons powered by dubstep!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1206692245/dubwars-a-dubstep-fueled-top-down-twin-stick-shoot

Support us in any way that you can, and play the DEMO!!! (linked on the kickstarter page).

If any of you guys are going to E3, say hi to my team! We're fortunate to have been invited to attend and showcase our game with a dedicated booth.

Let me know what you think of the demo. If you like it enough and want to try more, I have a super-secret password that will unlock all 4 levels (normally the musicians have a password that unlocks only their level for their followers to play).

Looks awesome, I'll have to check out the demo tomorrow

O...M...G!

Such a cool idea. Love it! Did you do the music Makkon? not your usual style.

And where's the Bronies... ;P

Muzzoid

Hmm, I'm not feeling it .

I dunno man, with your awesome art skills, i feel like you could be making much better than an arena shooter with dubstep.

(probably has something to do with my utter aversion to dubstep )

Makkon

Stinger88: Thanks! I did a lot of the art ( most backgrounds, ships, enemies, some of the effects particles). I didn't do any of the music, we are actually contracting out all of our music on this project, and as we gain more momentum we get more publishers interested. Soon we might have some really big name music in our game. Fingers crossed!

Muzz: That's how I felt when we first pitched the project, but I have to tell you it's been a load of fun to make. You can't take the premise of the game seriously, it's just crazy basspounding fun. Thanks for trying it, though.

I'm liking this, haven't played the demo yet however from looking at the video it looks like an interesting concept.

I think you've really hit the nail on the head with changing the weapon types to match the music it gives an instant epic feel and exactly like what dubstep should look like... reminds me of that picture that was floating around the internet where people are riding dinosaurs that shoot lasers etc!

However i implore you to look up a multitude of dubstep sounds/musicians and not just classic *Bro-step*. Try to avoid just sheer noise like Datsik and Excision... Everybody has a different taste in music and you can't please all, it is a tricky line to walk. However there is some terrible dubstep out there which for some reason a lot of people think is great quality music haha.

Will the music be synced to the game or do you reckon there is a possibility (if this game is ever released) that people would be able to play their own music? I personally would love to play a game like that to a song such as this one... *old school retro feel, but beefed up!* [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9epLRcDfXME"]Kubrak - Ursa Major (Breed 12 Inches) - YouTube[/ame]

Best of luck!

sweet man, looks really rad!

good luck on getting funded, can't wait to see the finished game

Makkon

Hey Dubzski, I hear you man. The difficulty isn't making it work in the game, it's licensing. We've got some connections and we're going to get you guys more of what you want.

Thanks, Lee! That means a lot coming from you



And holy crap, someone pledged $2500! Thank you kind stranger!

Makkon

We got a review by ScrewAttack. Thanks guys!

WHOA.

We also made $20,000 in ONE DAY. I don't know if the Kotaku article influences that or not, but WOW.
This is nothing short of a miracle. I'm still in shock.


Help us out with our stretch goals! We have wonderful things in store, and we want to make this game as crazy awesome as physically possible! We've updated our Kickstarter page a bunch, give it another look over!

Looks great glad someone at PC made it.
Congrats on the funding as well.

TheDerpyChicken

I'm not a huge fan of dubstep, but this game is awesome. Love how the attacks are based on the music. It's a very fun game. Good job

naturon

Just chucked in a bit, looks (and sounds) great. I've been to a few little festivals where this would have been fantastic as a little side show.
Good luck with it all

PS I am addicted to the demo

I just finished a couple hours with it over the weekend. Hard to play when you can`t attack when you want. I know it is a strategy, but having swarms of enemies in a lul moment of a song does not bring joy to my thumbs.

I like the way the attacks look though.
