We were approached by Lionsgate a few months ago with the idea of doing a Broforce/Expendables mashup. It's worth mentioning that this was tie-in was unpaid, just a fun collaboration between two like-minded parties. We got to hear Dolph Lundgren say Broforce!! We're sure you guys can understand that it would have been sacrilegious for us NOT to follow up on such a great opportunity. Special thanks to David Edwards from Lionsgate for putting all this into motion and letting us get away with smashing Mel Gibson's face into a bloody pulp.
Due to the work we've been putting in on Expendabros, there will be no Broforce update this month. We hope that you will enjoy playing the Expendabros while we work towards integrating the new content and systems we've created into Broforce. While we won't including the Expendabros characters in the official campaign for Broforce, we will likely re-use some of their mechanics such as Toll Broad's dragon breath shotgun and Broctor Death's badass combat system in future bros.
We also used the Expendabros as an opportunity to experiment with some storytelling techniques, such as the ingame scripted sequences, cutscene images and minigames, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on those. We're also quite excited to see what our players will be able to come up with in custom levels once we release these and other improvements made to the level editor, and as we work towards including Workshop support for Broforce levels. The forest and warehouse/industrial themes will also be making their way to Broforce shortly and will allow us to increase the length of the current Broforce campaign.
P.S. We will be at Gamescom! Come say hi! We have a booth with Devolver and at the Indie Megabooth.
P.P.S you should totally go see the Expendables 3 movie.

Many people have been asking for directional shooting in Broforce. Though we initially assumed it to be an impossible task, our team of brogramming slaves have been working non-stop on this issue for the past month, and have made a breakthrough - DOWNWARDS SHOOTING with our new bro, Cherry Broling!
Though some had reported spotting our next new bro, he since went Missing In Action... But with his passion for democracy that burns brighter than even his beard, he could not be kept at bay for too long. Introducing, COLONEL JAMES BRODDOCK!
Game Audio Legend/God/Superbro amongst bros Joonas Turner has also lent his angelic voice to us in the form of a new announcer and updated voicework for the terrorists.
For those that like lists, here is a list of smaller things that we're including in this update:
Made GR-13 jump back correctly
Fixed Boondock Bros avatar showing incorrectly for a second
F12 now toggles HUD (rather than just hide it)
Fixed Windows in City (and elsewhere) breaking after a radio tower start.
More Agressive/Less Forgetful Mookopter
Fixed Bombardment Flashes getting stuck during Time Bro Motion
Improved Camera Trigger Actions
Fix Dual Shock 3 controllers crashing on Macs (thanks Unity!)
MANY fixes related to Macs and startup
Fixed lack of propane momentum when stepping off propane tanks
Improved Z ordering of background foliage
A lot of work on the announcer voice
Made muzzle flashes stick to guns
5% faster mook reaction times
Scriptable enemies in Level Editor (WORK IN PROGRESS!)
Ellen Ripbro's plasma damages terrain more
Broniversal Soldier has a higher rate of fire for his primary weapon
Villagers 2.0
Bros can stand on mook parachutes.
Placing unused terrain pieces in your levels will no longer break the levels
Fixed outlines on some parallax pieces
Now, go celebrate your independence by dropping some napalm on Satan! YEAH! Have some friends who still need to be brought around to our democratic ways? Broforce will be 33% off this whole weekend!
