Hey everyone,
it's time for a Family Man update! Broken Bear Games has been working hard to get the game ready, and we're happy to say that Family Man is now content complete! Which essentially means that it's now very close to being in your hands. Yey!
So today we wanted to bring you the news that we'll soon be running a public Final Beta for the game, which is a bit like The Final Countdown, except you play video games instead of electric guitars.
The Final Beta -- Signup Now!
Here's the link to signup for the Final Beta: https://forms.gle/nKP9jH1AbaaByLyy8
Once it's ready to go (which should be soon), we'll send you a Steam key via email. You can keep up to date with when exactly that is at the Family Man Discord, at discord.gg/familyman
The Final Beta will contain a bunch of new content from the game, allowing you to see the sort of missions, people and extras that have been added.
So What's New With Family Man?
Oh, absolutely *tons*. There's way too much stuff to mention really, but here's a taster:
- We reinvented time: Time now stops whenever you talk to people, or end buildings and special areas, allowing you to breathe a lot more
- New characters: There are loads of new people to talk to (and do dirty deeds for). Check the video below to spot a few!
- New areas: New locations to explore, and new shops and buildings to enter and interact with
- New chores!: There are lots of new chores to do around the house! We all love chores
- New jobs: There are new ways to make money, both legally and, well, not so legally
- Mafia Missions: Bruce has new ways to give you missions, including calling you up on the phone. Be afraid!
- Completely revamped combat: We changed the way combat works, as it was a bit rubbish before. You now lock on to the person you're brawling with, and have to watch how they move before deciding where to punch them. Pow!
- More ways to affect the world: There are now lots of new ways to put your mark on the world. You'll be able to completely change the lives of the townspeople around you, in good (and bad) ways
- Better interactions with your family: There are a ton of new ways to make your family happier (or otherwise)
- Loads more stuff, but this list is getting a bit long now
