German independent developer Roman Uhlig recently had his excellent local multiplayer game 12 Orbits added to Steam Greenlight. He’s posted a lengthy, bro-packed conversation demonstrating the sort of attention such a move brings.
Over the weekend, I donated my Xbox 360 Elite to Goodwill. It represented a time in my life as a developer that I'm not overly proud about living.
In terms of 'bro' games, I’d thought I’d seen it all. I thought gaming had hit peak bro: the point at which bros could bro no further. I thought we’d fist-bumped, roadie ran and keg-stood our way to humanity's limit. Well, I was wrong.
Few games understand the true meaning of being a bro. Being a bro is more than being a burly man in a group of burly men who shoot at anything that moves. The concept of "bro" reaches beyond polo-wearing frat boys double fisting red plastic cups.
As a fraternity man, and as a guy whose gamertag is, literally, "dudemanbestbro1," it pains me to say this but, yes, Dirt Showdown goes a little overboard with its woah-killer-brah commentary. Who the hell did they hire for this, the SAE rush chairman?
