Here is the third pre-alpha of Gang Beasts (0.0.2) it has numerous bug fixes and three new stages.
Gang Beasts has now been Greenlit, thank you very very much to everyone who voted, played, or promoted Gang Beasts.
Here is the third pre-alpha of Gang Beasts (0.0.2) it has numerous bug fixes and three new stages.
The fixes in the 0.0.2 build are:
- fixed a knockout bug that could make characters stay permanently unconscious
- fixed an issue that made some characters more prone to knockouts
- fixed clipping issues in the Sandbox stage
- modified Truck stability to make Truck suspension less erratic
- optimised the lighting on the Grind stage to improve performance
![Big Wheel]( "Big Wheel")
The new content in the 0.0.2 build is:
- added "Incinerator" stage
- added "Wheel" stage
- added "Street" co-op test stage
- added AI enemies to "Sandbox" and "Street" stage
- added wince / grimace character animation (e.g. Gang Beasts' eyes close briefly when hurt)
- added health bars (green/red bar to show current health immediately after injury)
- additional sounds
![Burn]( "Burn")
Windows Setup:
To avoid issues playing the 0.0.2, please delete existing Gang Beasts files (the 'Gang Beasts.exe' and 'Gang Beasts_DATA' folder) from your system before downloading the 0.0.2 build. The 0.0.2 files need to be extracted form the Gang_Beasts_0.0.2_Windows.zip file before the game will run.
Information:
- please do not map inputs in the default Unity launch settings window (please use the in-game input configuration window, which can be invoked with 'Tab' key)
- punching and grabbing will intermittently fail if PUNCH or GRAB are mapped to analogue triggers (we suggest mapping the left and right bumpers for punching and grabbing)
- custom input bindings should save automatically
- currently their is no support for plug and play (please connect controllers before running Gang Beasts if input is not detected)
- currently the menu screen does no support controller or keyboard input (please use a mouse)
Hell yes!!! Woo new levels 'n' crap!!!

How to get the bigger Beasts?
The only larger beast in the pre-alpha is the pink enemy at the end of the 'Street' stage in the 0.0.2 pre-alpha build, we plan to have numerous different body shapes and sizes in the full game.

SO PUMPED MAN! PLEASE ADD IN 0.0.4
whenever i try to play it it says i can't open it because it's from an unknown developer
You got this message because your Gatekeeper settings (see, Support.apple.com) are set to only open applications from the "Mac App Store and identified developers", to bypass the limitation you can right click (context click) on the 'Gang Beasts.app' files and select the 'Open' command from the context menu.
Doing this won't change your Gatekeeper settings but will let you run the game (see the 'How to open an app from a unidentified developer and exempt it from Gatekeeper' section from the above link for illustrated instructions).
How do you get the AI to fight on their own aswell?
It isn't possible to convert players to AI, the AI in the current 0.0.2 build is limited to the 'Street' and 'Sandbox' stages, you will be able to select the number of AI opponents in the full game.
Firstly I just want to say this is a great idea for a game it is a lot of fun to play even at this early stage. - I voted for this to be Greenlighted on steam.
I think you need to add a brightness control as not all systems have the same screen gamma setting - currently street and trucks are too dark to be playable on OSX
Thank you for voting.
The games interface is still being developed and we plan on adding a lot of flexibility to allow people to adjust things such as brightness and volume.
There's currently a bug where on some systems levels will appear very dark. If it is this bug, you could try running the game at a different graphics setting or in window mode to see if that fixes it as a temporary solution till we can fix the issue.
It says that i cant play with my keyboard?
Cant i?
if you are playing the 0.0.1 or 0.0.2 builds you can map the keyboard inputs by pressing the ' Tab' key on the game menu.

~Mad8872 *Badass Gamer* Not That walmart brand stuff. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
The comment above is me I just made accout so i will keep updated my fair *Devs*
Mad8872, we plan to have themed gangs (Truckers, Builders, Pirates, Luchadores, Robots etc.), and numerous non-bladed objects that can be used as weapons (sticks, bats, bricks, boxes, bins, bottles, chairs etc.) together with larger stage specific machinery that can be used to harm enemies e.g. a crane with wrecking ball that can be controlled to hit enemies etc.
There will be a free demo version of the game but the full game won't be free (as we need to fund and pay for software licences, equipment, office rental, and other developments, and meet our substance costs to make the game), we plan to release the game on Steam Early Access in the next few months and discount the price for the first week.
Currently we don't have plans to charge for clothing and other vanity content we build for the full game, if there is demand from players to add more content after the full game is released we would prefer to sell additional game packs (over individual items), game packs could include new levels, items of clothing, hair styles, props, objects, weapons, and game modes.
how does u play double player?
Click the 'PLAYERS: ONE' text (with the mouse) on the game menu to change the number of players (up to a maximum of 4).
We plan to add support for using the menu with the keyboard and / or game controllers in a later build but it is not currently supported.
How do you extract the game on a mac?
Without installing fancy things like 7zip and stuff
Thanks :)
right click the .zip file and open with Archive Utility.app (Apple's built in file compression / un-compression utility), and then double click the Gang Beasts.app file to play the game.
I don't mean to nag, and I'm sure you get this a lot, but after a few seconds, it says "the application Gang Beasts quit unexpectedly."
We haven't seen that issue before, please can you send us an image of the error message, our email address is on the company web site at Boneloafery.com

why are the levels all dark?
We have come across this bug before, it seems to be an issue with Unity and integrated graphics cards. Have you tried changing the graphics settings in the launch window, such as running the game in windowed mode?
why are all the levels dark and why can't i move,i am playing on a macbook pro.
From what we have seen this is an issue with Unity and integrated graphics cards. Until we can nail down a solution try changing the graphics settings in the launch window such as switching to window mode.
great that fixed it thanks
