Thanks for recommending this, I read it cover to cover. Now I have the proper vocabulary to say that I hope my new dakimakura is either japanese textile, two-way tricot or End of this sample, see details for this book in the Kindle store.

We now officially get to have a new dungeon! 46 hours to go to get to $120,000. Is TOG a bad enough company to get enough money for the animations?

I asked this in the Kickstarter comments page, will there be an always on-DwarfNET requirement? I take long trips to Japanese strip clubs and would like to be able to play the game while flying to Japan.

I'm not sure if DwarfNET is a Real Onliney Internet Thing or not. Players can't post on it for realsies, I know that much - hence the 'write a post on DwarfNET' reward. It may be an online-updated thing, though.

Hey everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been as active in this topic as I'd like to be lately. I am really, really sick, the sickest I've been in a long time, and I haven't been able to do anything. I picked a really great time to be sick! So I'm sorry everyone. I'll try to get to as many questions and comments as I can.

Also, we may be live streaming the last few hours of the Kickstarter. I don't know why people want this, but we've been asked a million times for it so, depending on my health, you may get the privilege of watching us watch Kickstarter numbers go up.

Backer Rewards Update

Thank you so much for supporting Barkley 2 and helping us surpass our goal. We have been completely overwhelmed with the level of support you've shown, and are excited to bring you the best possible game we can.

We at the ToG labs have been busy preparing your pledge rewards, and would like to give you a taste of things to come. Remember: all reward tiers are cumulative, so you will be receiving each tier up-to-and-including the reward you claimed (with the exception of the interview).

Custom Content Tiers (Game Encounter, Forum Signature, DwarfNET Poster, and Playable Character Portrait)

Backers in this tier can look forward to working one-on-one with the Barkley 2 team to help bring their likeness and precious snowflake of a personality to Dwarf Space Ziggurat Necron 7 and beyond. You will hear from us shortly after the campaign ends and we can't wait to get working on original content just for you.

Physical and Digital Art Book Tiers

In addition to the concept art already on show by Tales of Game's artists Richard Tran, David Nyari, Francis Coulombe, and Evengi Maloshenkov we have begun working on exciting new exclusive content for you. This includes new original pieces by additional artists, prose from our wretched writers and much more.

ToG Vidcon Pack Tiers

The ToG vidcon pack has undergone a rigorous evaluation process and earned the highest distinction our technicians have ever charted: this solid digital-gold game package is Certified 100% *Very Rare*. For more details, and an in-depth look at some of the games in the pack, please check out the following post on our website: http://www.talesofgames.com/2012/12/tales-of-games-vidcon-pack/

Please see the end of this message for a note about vidcon pack OS compatibility.

ToG Music Pack and Barkley 2 Original Soundtrack Tiers

A preview of four work-in-progress tracks off of the upcoming Barkley 2 OST are available now on the Tales of Game's SoundCloud page. In addition, Chef Boyardee has carefully curated his mountain of musical crud, selecting the tunes best suited for your individual shape and size of ear.

SoundCloud including B2 OST Preview and Music Pack Medley: https://soundcloud.com/x114jam9

Wallpaper

For all backers in the In-game Secret Reward Tier and up, we've prepared the first batch of wallpapers for your screens, big and small. Due to popular demand, we’ve also prepared some cursors and icons reflecting the alluring vice of Corporate Attitude. We don’t like it, but we accept it as a necessary evil.

Preview:



Barkley 2

And most importantly, the game itself. Barkley 2 is a burning hot work of passion that grows sharper each passing day. For more details on the game, check out the resources below:

RPG Codex Interview: http://bit.ly/ToGCodex

Those in the ToG Music/Monthly Updates tier can expect much more in this vein at the end of January.

We are down to the final days of our campaign! Please spread the word about Barkley 2 to anyone you think might be interested in the game, and help us reach our stretch goals! Every dollar enables us to spend more time making Barkley 2 the best possible game we can.

Feliz Navigames,

NOTE REGARDING VIDCON PACK OS SUPPORT

It has come to our attention that the majority of games in the Vidcon Pack are Windows only. Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to edit our existing pledge reward descriptions to reflect this. While some of the games ARE Mac friendly (a smaller number playable on Linux and other OSes as well), and we MAY be able to issue ports of the remaining games depending on budgetary and time constraints, we CAN NOT guarantee it at this time.

We want to apologize to our non-Windows users for this lapse. If you are a Mac, Linux, or DwarfOS user unable to play games on Windows who has presently pledged at the Vidcon Tier, please send us an email at contact@talesofgames.com, and we'll gladly help work out an alternative reward for your pledge.

Our Non Human is based off of the original Non Human and there's a part of the game that has the bizarre heads, awful layout and enemies of the original, but the music is extremely bad and we made our own soundtrack. A few songs have already been posted, check out the medley -

X114JAM9 is strictly a gun'sbraster, which means that (almost) all of his weapons are gun's based, but Barkley 2 differs from Barkley 1 in that there are classes with different abilities and you can change them. There will surely be classes that take advantage of X114JAM9's inherent aptitudes for b-ball.

It's not totally random, Tír na nÓg and Cúchulainn are both from the same lore. I think that the focus on Irish mythology must have been inspired by the visual novel/anime Clannad. I'm really excited to see what they do with it.

Close, but not quite. We actually got the idea from Papa to Kiss in the Dark (パパとKISS IN THE DARK). We have very big ideas for Celtic Mythology and we are looking forward to updating it for a grim, Celto-Cyberpocalyptic future.

Also CB, are you the one responsible for the dozen or so NES rom hacks all starring Wilford Brimley?
He's happy about it. Also no, I don't know anything about Wilford Brimley rom hacks, although back in 2009 I made 40 nude NES rom hacks.

I want to seriously thank everyone for helping to make this happen. That's something that I haven't said enough, but Barkley 2 would still just be an idea without all of your help, so thank you.

One thing I don't like about stretch goals is that they imply that if we don't reach it, it won't be in the game. For us, stretch goals are a guarantee that if we reach it, it will absolutely be in the game but we will still [try] even if we don't make it.

So, hopefully, and fewer might be more likely than all 3 even if they don't make the goal.

It sounds like the developers are going to be eating on the cheap until the game's release. I had to do that recently, and despite being a dietician, I thought I'd be able to get by on cheap staples and off-brand junk food. After three weeks I couldn't take it anymore, so I started supplementing with this and this. The first one's the best multivitamin on the market, and it has enough whole plant extracts that it counts as a serving of vegetables. The other one's concentrated omega 3s to keep your brain in top shape for truly appreciating fine vidcons.

For serious, if you take both of those you can eat nothing but ramen and wood pulp and still feel healthier than you have in your entire life. And it works out to only like $28 per month per person.

Sadly, I don't have any thrilling story to go with that, but I'm almost positive it was either insert credit or one of its various spinoff sites from the early 2000s. The original post was about how "videogame" is a more correct spelling than "video game", because it emphasized the fusion of imagery and play, or something. It was exaggerated pretty hard here.

Man, looking at insert credit now, they have not changed much in the past five years, aside from maybe killing their forums.

Furcadia has significantly fewer backers, showing that furries are both perverted and have a large amount of disposable income.

Edit: Chef said the stretch goals only mean it's guarantee it will be in the game, even if they miss the real remaining goals ($120,000 and $140,000) they may still try to get them into the game. Who knows, maybe it will turn out they are a lot better at making vidcons than they thought and have a whole bunch of extra resources they need to use up.
