Barkley 1 was awesome, and I expect this to be just as great, so I just dropped $25.

This needs to get to $200k to licence the Space Jam theme. Tell your friends, tell your family. Give generously this Christmas. I can't want for this game.

It has joystick and controller support, so I assume that's a given.

This space is reserved for future considerations.
Chef, are you guys going to contact any news sites in the next few days? From what I've heard in the Kickstarter thread, it can work out quite well, and from what I've seen most of them haven't covered Barkley 2 since the initial "breaks funding goal in under 24 hours" story.

The Super Bowl commercial goal and Space Jam theme one, combined with the fact that the Kickstarter is ending in a few days, would probably due as good hooks for most of the sites in their news update.

Plus, I'm sure the guys unlucky enough to be updating over the holidays would kill for a quick and easy story to fill their quota.

Well, like half of us have gotten violently ill and are basically incapacitated so we can't do much of anything right now. I wanted to post an update yesterday but I was too busy barfing, so that's part of it. But the other thing is that I just don't feel comfortable milking this for every last dime. It's why we've only posted 4 updates, because we don't want to saturate your inboxes, and why I think we've been comparatively low key. It would be cool if journalists wanted to post it of their own volition, but we don't want to pimp the game out.

Also, in response to madeupfred's post, yeah, it probably will. We're going to have to spend a lot of time on the controls because right now they're really bad and it feels like playing a roguelike, but in the end you will be able to change keys.

Just saying this feels like imposing a huge weight upon you, but your last game was so good and your future game so theoretically good that I feel there is a mandate, an imperative laid on all of Tales of Games' to create the best game possible, using as many neo-shekels as are available.

I've been replaying the game making all the "evil" decisions, because I wanted to see this "hell" area I've heard about and seen in the game files. Yet when I die I see nothing of the sort. What did I do wrong? Was I supposed to side with the genies? Because my friend said that the outcome of that quest didn't matter for this, so I sided with the dwarves for the glorious Shrekmono. Hell, I even was a dick to the guy next door to Jawanna, and felt like a huge douche about it.

Well that was totally worth it. If I hadn't already backed at Cyberdakimakura tier, I would have bumped it up just for Mr. 3000 and the ending to the Sonic the Hedgehog quiz. I guess this would warrant me bumping up to $150, but I'm a college student and $100 is a huge enough egregious waste of my limited money.

I bought in at the $100 level. Barkley Gaiden is easily the funniest game I have ever played. On top of that it was actually a good game and fun to play. And I want a Cyberdwarf body pillow very badly.

I actually just started playing through Barkley Gaiden with some friends a couple of weeks ago. We each picked a character and are reading their lines. The biggest problem with this is we end up cracking the hell up constantly. It's still an unbelievably funny game and solid as hell almost 5 years on.

Eh, I don't really feel the same way. Updates seem to me something like an obligation to your backers, keeping them in the loop about plans and progress, responding to questions and criticism. When a campaign has less than one update a week, it starts to look like the creator doesn't really care.

Your campaign is on the edge of that. You do respond to a ton of comments, so it's not that bad, but that fact is less apparent at first glance. Plus, it's easy to miss information in comments; full updates also offer you a chance to summarize and respond to these issues together in a place where no one is going to miss it.

I don't think spamming inboxes is really worth worrying about, unless we're talking multiple updates a day outside of the home stretch. Who would pledge to a campaign who didn't want to hear about that project? Edit: and anyway,

I'm not sure what the problem is, but something similar has come up twice. The little basketball isn't a loading icon, it's a text box icon. Try hitting Z or X. If this doesn't work, we will have to investigate this.

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from and I agree with it. I'm fairly certain we'll be posting an update later today, it's just that we've been too sick to edit it for the past few days. My problem has been with Kickstarters that post 15-40 updates, which seems like way too many and I never end up reading them. It's really obnoxious and we just don't want to come off in the same way.

This is just one backer's opinion, but I always appreciate when Kickstarters err on the side of too much information.

Aw man, just realized that B2G isnt going to be hitting the stretch goal for the spacejam theme, and it would probably be impossible for any sort of grassroots/fan campaign to get the rights to succeed.

Maybe there is still hope of convincing Charles Barkley to allow his name/likeness to be used

I think you'll find that the use of the name 'Charles Barkley' is merely a coincidence, due to the slipshod transliteration of the original Nihongo チャールズ・バークレー (Charusu Bakuri) by idiot gaijin translators who wanted to perform a heinous act of cultural erasure on the glorious Japanese original. If you weren't such a baka you'd know this. Go back to playing your Call of Warfares or Mass Erects (heh) or whatever it is you moronic westerners enjoy.
