Hi all followers and Baby Duka fans ːurbansocialː Today I'm proud to announce the launch of a new teaser for my current production: DASH - a 2D platformer creation tool for creative and competitive players. In the colorful and sometimes far our style of Baby Duka. Custom physics built for solid control (speedruns), and an atmospheric editor which will feel like your second home after a while. I'm very excited to share more content and news with you once the game's store page is ready. I'm aiming to reveal the Steam presence of DASH late July/August 2018! It's going to be a 100% community-driven experience with a program designed for UGC, the Workshop and free monthly updates with new heroes, blocksets, game modes and much much more.

Check out the trailer right here ► - BD

2 YEARS SINCE THE RELEASE OF URBAN PIRATE

Mid June 2016 the crime simulator 'Urban Pirate' was launched on Steam and around 500 pirates had themselves an urban adventure. That's about two years ago and for that reason we're practically giving the grimy game away - it's 75% off (1,50€) in the store until 5th of July.
The game was the first to be produced entirely by Baby Duka and was self-funded. The Copenhagen-based audio producer B Magic Samples delivered an original and fresh pack of sounds and songs. The game was later ported to Linux. October 2016 Urban Pirate was nominated Best Idea at the VII Annual Independent Games Festival in Bilbao.
Two years after the release over 6000 units have been activated on Steam (though only 17 reviews...), at least 60 people have completed the merciless and almost impossible 90s VGA-like game, 1 person made a guide, and over 100 gameplay vids are uploaded. Here's the ultimate playlist if you want to hang out and watch some urban crime. ːurbanhappyːːurbanspraycanː

DASH - Danger Action Speed Heroes NEW Game By Baby Duka

Since December 2017 Baby Duka has been busy working on a prototype of a new game. And not just any game. I won't say more here, but I advice you check out the DASHlog. Here all the development is documented and shared. This is especially for you who find the development exciting.


And I can say as much as it's another colorful and edgy world we're about to witness. Baby Duka is streaming the content from the latest build every Saturday on Twitch.

Yes, Urban Pirate was developed in Copenhagen by a dude from Copenhagen so the game fits into the criteria: Games From Denmark. And among 140, Limbo and Minion Masters is the pirate. So go buy it if you think it's time. And good luck ːurbanhappyːːurbansocialː https://store.steampowered.com/app/471380/Urban_Pirate/
Also I can really recommend Jeppe Carlen's games: https://store.steampowered.com/app/242820/140/ and https://store.steampowered.com/app/510620/THOTH/

On June 17th (June 18th PST) the grimy, petty crime sim launched on Steam after being on Greenlight for about 5 weeks, and 10 months of intense development. A terrifying yet extremely exciting episode in the history of Baby Duka Games, and here we are one year later. Baby Duka, the artist and developer behind UP, has made this childish, and nave peace to give the game a fresh capsule for its birthday :urbanhappy::urbanspraycan:
We will be broadcasting some cool vids during today and tomorrow, showing cool tricks, and some behind-the-game goodies. Also we will be talking a bit about the future, so stay put. If you're new to the game, welcome :urbansocial: There is more to the streets than it seems.

Hey all Linux gamers!

It was always the plan to let as many pirates as possible join the party. Here we have a build for Ubuntu 14+ (14.04+ recommended) ːurbanhappyː We hope the default launch button works for you too (runner). In case it doesn't, try going to your linux' Steam app folder, and double-click the urbanpiratelinux_install.sh - if the PLAY button or the desktop icon doesn't send you into the concrete heaven after installing try run.sh In case that doesn't work ːurbaninsaneː Let us know what you're experiencing, good luck and may the smell of palm trees and asphalt be with you all ːurbanspraycanː

Due to several requests we now bring you a peace of chiptuned, urban mood. The original 8-bit soundtrack consists of 22 fresh tracks, composed and produced by the developer BABY DUKA and his fellow pirate B. Magic Samples.
It's free and you can go ahead and download it right now, if you have Urban Pirate installed. In case the soundtrack doesn't end up in your Steam Music library automatically, here's where you can find the files: The mp3s are kept in the game's main folder which by default should be something like ...Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonUrban Pirate ːurbansocialː If you like the music go recommend it, comment or share!! ːurbansocialː Yo

The pirate is simply chilling with a bunch of bloodthirsty riot cops at her door. Very content, stacked ːdirtymoneyː, and, to say it mildly, in great trouble if she's caught. Still chilling and probably handling the situation with only one hand. What a pirate ːurbanhappyː ! Tiff, it was worth the fight! Now you are the reason we're gonna prepare a bunch of new achievements with one called 'Eternal Legend; Collect 10,000 Street Credit.' Thanks for playing and recording 40+ episodes of Urban Pirate.

As if the very basic life of a pirate wasn't hard enough, you now have a bunch of Pirate Achievements to accomplish if you REALLY wanna show off your skills and knowledge. Survival is great, but life is better! How about achieving "Pro-Skater" or "Street Cred Galore!"? Or are you just getting started?

Please let us know if things are f♥♥♥ed up ːurbaninsaneː Thank yall for your amazing patience and love for the game.

To those of you who have experienced an annoying loop of *bleep* when pressing NEW GAME in the intro menu in Update 3.0.0.1, we have good news for you. An update is being uploaded [strike]within the next 24 hours[/strike]*, so you can play and enjoy the game without the bug. The update will still be called 3.0.0.1.
The audio file was set to loop forever (true instead of false)... Here's a way to go about the bug temporarily: - Press NEW GAME - In the Level Menu press MAIN MENU - Press CONTINUE - The never-ending *bleep* should be gone ːurbanhappyː Thanks for your patience yall * Unfortunately my laptop keyboard is broken (keys d and c don't work) so I have to copy/paste the letters because I didn't bring my extra keyboard to where I am now (far away from my workspace... from anything...) BUT the steam command prompt (where I am uploading the patch) won't allow me to copy/paste any letters into it, so it won't be fixed/uploaded until July 16th where I have my extra keyboard and back at the workspace. Sorry about that ːurbaninsaneː

Even though it might be tempting to play Urban Pirate as a single-player game, and go through the tough struggle it is, to rise from a petty thief to an urban pirate, this game has a meta structure of street-smart guides which can help you, change your style, or perhaps inspire you to change your direction.
@ADHDan on YouTube Back when the urban pirates were just starting to appear, we saw YouTubers who shared their experience in order to show off their skills and have a laugh while playing a game in development. This quickly helped both us on the developing side but also fellow players who could see that several aspects of the game could be played in various ways (e.g. skating the streets and making some nice combos seemed at first incomprehensible for one player ːurbaninsaneː but after watching another player's video he got inspired to skate in new way).
@Grandpuh Ty "Lean 2 Skate" on YouTube Later when the final game was launched a fellow pirate had trouble escaping the store detective - simply because she hadn't thought of jumping over those benches and banana peels. This was her reply:
And she was right. She did what any true pirate would do: watch, learn and RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN ːurbanhappyːːurbanhappyː Eventually Tiff got it and she may be the first pirate to show off her jetpack, some painted trains or a disguise kit? Life as an urban pirate is unpredictable ːurbanspraycanː
@tiffplays on YouTube Rencently Funky Fred started his Comprehensive Guide For Hating Yourself/Playing Urban Pirates which is great fun, especially if you remember reading those old gaming magazines that had walkthroughs and cheats! You should check it out.
We believe that this community of urban pirates who share knowledge and experiences is the best way to exprience the whole game, for us, the devs, but also for the players. The guide included in the game is just a template of inspiration on how to survive and become more than a petty thief. When we were kids we used to learn from our friends, siblings, cousins, uncle and aunts when we were screwed in a game and needed some inspiration on how to tackle the levels. There was no www or Let's Plays. Now we have the whole world. A whole world of urban pirates who will slowly start showing off weed farms, 360 flips, whole-cars and a city on fire. A BIG shoutout to all you street rats and slum lords who made it through the tough beginning and posted videos! A world of sun, cold drinks and hammocks awaits you! ːurbanhappyːːdirtymoneyː ːurbansocialːKeep sharing and showing off ːurbansocialː Ahoy!

[ 2016-07-06 15:25:02 CET ] [ Original post ]

Take a look into the urban pirate life of Grandpuh Ty who will show off his skills and skate tricks in this absolute winner of this weeks 'True Pirate'.

Fellow pirates!! We fixed the upgrade 'Born For Shoplifting' so that you actually get the upgrade, and a few other things that was bugging. Some of you might receive an ERROR message when launching your awesome and unique save-game... This is, of course, something that could cause mutiny and pissed off pirates, we know that... But we figured you would rather want a full game with the upgrades right rather than the previous version where 'Born For Shoplifting' didn't get activated? If you're working on a Let's Play and find it unreasonable to continue (in case you get the ERROR message and have to start over) we suggest you think twice. Remember that Urban Pirate is non-linear and you might just benefit from giving the first levels another go. If you're busy documenting the very last levels and your score is insane, all we can say is... arrrghhh!!!!
We're sorry bout that...

We recently had our first collection of Urban Pirate Trading Cards approved for the Steam Store Page! Get ready to earn some bloody badges and treacherous trading cards!!
Happy hunting and scavenging!!

Please let the Steam client update Urban Pirate before launching. A 'v. 3.0.0.0' will appear in the title menu once it's updated. Players may have experienced an inconsistent soundtrack:

• Missing background music and
• No music in mini-games (making the Party Level somewhat meaningless x/

All music and sounds should be working now! Also we updated the Upgrade Menu to display local, in-game acheivements.
Have fun, stay sane and AHOY!

[ 2016-06-23 17:46:52 CET ] [ Original post ]

EDIT: We are still experiencing playback issues with the soundtrack. We're working as fast as we can to fix this! Please take 3 minutes and let Steam update the game on your system. Then the following fixes will be installed: Bug fixes:

• Changed the audio format of the soundtrack to be .wav instead of .mp3 to stabilize (not working still, still unstable)
• Fixed bug: "Pusher Mission" displays local Achievement in Upgrade Menu when you have completed the checklist and level 3 (bonus mission not obligatory) and you will gain a bonus paid in Street Credit
• Fixed bug: Sanity Level did not increase if Bad Sleep was prompted simultaniously in level >= 8
• Fixed bug: Tank did not disappear when fight level was over

Enjoy and stay sane!

[ 2016-06-22 13:03:29 CET ] [ Original post ]

As some may have noticed the background music files do not always trigger when the mini-games launc. Also some may have noticed that the entire soundtrack is available as mp3s in the game's install folder!
We are replacing all the mp3s in the build with wav-files in order to keep it more clean and secure. ♪♪♪♪♪
