Is a developed and produced by Team HalfBeard. It received a release on June 1, 2018.The game asks the player (literally, in the form of fully voiced narration) to perform a series of small puzzles, such as placing a stamp in the correct spot on an envelope, or wearing sandals without socks. However, the true goal is to intentionally mess up as much as possible.Place the Tropes above this.no, not below, darn you!.: If you can somehow balance a Christmas Tree upside down on its tip in the last pick, you get an achievement, the creator accepts it as a correct answer, and actually permits himself a laugh at the silliness.: The narrator's D.U.C.K.
Program ends up gaining self-awareness and a desire to show others how to solve puzzles as badly as the player. Narrator: Yeah, you learned nothing. Sprechen Sie English, por favor?.: In one puzzle, you have to make a sandwich with the creator's Low-res pixel graphics or no, the jar that's used is pretty blatantly a jar of ◊.: AND HOW. The entire game is a constant dragging-session towards the creator.: While the player can choose to follow instructions some of the time, the very first series of puzzles are impossible to succeed at due to the narrator being too busy with a phone call to explain them. The player is then blamed for ruining everything and kicked out of the game, until the narrator realizes he may have been acting a tad too harshly.
Unlike most games with this trope, however, the overall narrative isn't on the side of the. This continues throughout the game. There's several points where a 'good guy' run is impossible, and you HAVE to go back and fail puzzles you previously won on before the game lets you progress.: The creator completely loses his patience with you and smashes you to a game-over screen twice in the game. Once at the beginning when you fail the 4 unwinnable challenges, and again at the end when The D.U.C.K.
'So, I made a game, right? I filled it with harmless funny puzzles, narrated it a little bit, and then players started making fun of it! They broke the game and ignored my rules! Developed by Patomkin, Dude, Stop is a puzzle game that gives you the option to be good boys and girls or to be very, very bad when completing simple tasks. Tasks like pushing over a stack of.
Uploads its database and pings all of his friends via email about it. 'You NASTY PIECE OF-' Thank you for playing!.: After a certain point, the narrator attempts to use a program called D.U.C.K., with a rubber ducky for a logo, to prevent the player from ruining the puzzles.: The narrator implemented the D.U.C.K. 'Whoa, 11 Pieces! I'm not even mad, that's amazing!' Failure text: MAXIMUM EFFORT.: The creator, later on in the game, seems to enjoy seeing how the player is capable of creatively failing between his anger at failure toward simple tasks. He also treats the player slightly more amicably if you play the game after beating it, after his plan to leave the country failed.: The game accommodates for people playing it with the sound off by illustrating some sound effects.
Or in one case, the lack thereof.
NO ONE LIKES TO READ!... There, I said it! Reading is, like, looking at a lot of weird shapes and hallucinating weird stuff in your head. And what is worse - every sentence, every line, every word sound exactly the same - like your own voice!! YOU CAN BE LOUD, or be can confusing you... That’s why we don’t like to read. What we like is looking at pretty pictures or at the video below, or even better - just closing our eyes and not reading at all! That’s right! Keep on reading to find out how you can read less.
Introducing the one, the only, the new, the revolutionary: THE VOICE! In our previous blog we talked about completing the script, and now, after so much time, we reached that milestone - we voiced every line in the game! It may not sound (ha!) like it, but it’s a big deal, actually. For us it took a lot of time to write, implement, and test, and for the Voice Actor a lot of hours of screaming and crying in the microphone, and it’s finally done! The voice is ready!! It sounds in our heads in all its gloriousness.
“Show us! Show us! Show us!” - the crowd was chanting, and the voices of Super-Awesome Generous Developers cracked the sky: “Ask and Ye shall receive!”
This is a Teaser we made for the Holidays a month ago, but completely forgot to put it here. Well, here you go! Check out our sweet Voice Actor in action!... And that’s exactly how our game sounds!
“Are you not satisfied?!” - the voice of the Super-Awesome Generous Developers shaked the earth with all it’s might!
“When is the release?” - the crowd asked, and Not-So-Awesome Shamed Developers stood silent.
“When is the release?” - the crowd asked, and Not-So-Awesome Shamed Developers stood silent.
“Wait, there’s NEXT?!”. Yeah, there is. Sounds and Music. We have a little hold-back with this one, but we are doing all we can. You can still be excited - it’s the last feature of the game! And it’s 70-95% ready (we forgot our previous estimate in percent).
Oh, and we are working on a new website for the game! It’s gonna be LEGEN-wait for this dead meme-DARY! It’s gonna be legendary!!... But can take some time. Because, someone is apparently busy with fixing bugs in the game and making websites is 'too easy' for him!! *rolling eyes*
All in all - it was a good month! We finished the voice and right now we’re working on small fixes and preparing for one last step - sounds (I bet we are saying this in every blog). Also, we made a few teasers to keep you excited, and we are working on a new website for some reason, and all in all just dying (not literally) to show you the game!!
