If it didn't cost a buttload in royalties, I'd hope to hear "Sweet Georgia Brown" whenever you won. Dollar bills ruin everything, jeez.:smith:

It's been composed in 1925, so wouldn't that make it public domain? I only have a very vague idea of how all that works, but almost 90 years...

Sorry, but the people have spoken.



Just watched the replay of the Awesome Games Done Quick charity of Barkley 1. I found it hilarious that, although everything going on around in the room and in the game was completely absurd and awkward, the speedrunner's (Laz) cancer story, emotional motivation and finding bromance in the end mirrored the narrative of the game itself. Talk about life imitating art! Best speedrun of the event by far.

Speaking of the first game, was anyone else disappointed that there were never any new jobs on the bounty board after the first one? Like even though I new the game was a parody I still wanted to fight more things because I can never get enough side quests.

After watching that vid of the MaGfest demo, I gotta say, "booty hootenanny" is the best thing I've ever heard anyone say out loud. I never even noticed that before somehow even after testing and tweaking that event for days.

I don't want to say "sidequests" are what Barkley 2 is about, but I feel like they are the meat of the game. It's about non-linear exploration and doing what you want, when you want. We've got a time system where things in the world happen whether or not you're participating in it, so some people will find and participate in stuff that other players have no idea even exists because they're not in the right place at the right time. For instance, there are a couple quests that, as far as I can tell, nobody at PAX or MAGFest found at all and that's how we want it. You'll only be able to appreciate what this game is and how big it truly is on multiple playthroughs!

So yeah, Barkley 2 has a lot of the non-linear quest stuff that you probably wanted from the bulletin board.

It had to have been the most unexpected thing that has ever happened in my life when I first fought MJ and Vinceborg so I thank you for that, I still think it's hilarious and wrong and awful and out of place and perfect and great

And yeah please keep ridiculous status effects in game, whether you keep aspergers and diabetes, or make up something else stupid.

Well first of all I think you'll find that it is actually Vinceborg's theme specifically, as it only plays in fights against him, and that you're snubbing Johnathan Taylor Thomas, which is amazing.

Second, because it owns.

It's an awful song to hand to going-on-his-late-sixties Ian Gillan. Seriously, the guy can barely go "I'm a Highway Star" without breathing between every word. They either should've had him provide feedback on how to not make it sound like so anime, and better fit his range, or hired a cover singer who could match Ian's ability from back when he was still young.

Oh, who am I kidding, it's owns. :allears:

Haha, thanks man. I actually hate this song. I remade it for Barkley 2 but I want every boss to have their own theme and I can probably pull that off. I like writing boss themes and have like 100 that nobody has ever heard so I can just remake them if worse comes to worst. Here's one I'm working on right now -

Still a work in progress but I like it way more than JTT, which I think I wrote when I was 15 or 16.

There were two of them. Before he ever asked anyone for music, I made him a Sega Genesis song because I know he loves Bubsy. I don't remember what he told me, but the song sucks anyway so I'm glad it's not in the game -

http://tindeck.com/listen/ydnc

A year later after he started asking people for music, I sent him this. It's a good song but it needs to be remade, it's very old -

And my only complaint about the music in SUaJ:G is that it doesn't loop very well, making some really awkward and forced cuts.

95% isn't bad... Or maybe it it's some sort of inverse logarithmic thing where 100 is like infinity, 99 is the best humanity has to offer, 98 is Meh, and the other 97% is carefully defined categories of awful unlistenable music, even if you listen at 115% speed or 55% speed.

I just assumed that Eternity was so bad that it could not possibly have been from a real game! Everything else was more obvious.

Yeah, the server it's hosted on is down. The server's in the Netherlands and I think the guys who run it are going to fix it soon, or at least that's what they've said. You can still get it on Gamejolt - http://gamejolt.com/games/rpg/barkley-shut-up-and-jam-gaiden/18143/

Maybe. It's just very old, it's not very well made, it's the product of a 15 year old mind that's developed quite a bit since then.

Thanks for the link, at least I can enjoy the game again. Is the site's server down . . . a lot? I know I've had this issue before, like at various times in the past few years when something random reminded me of Barkley 1.

If you want actual 3D with shapes other than rectangles, it is the worst possible choice. If you want 2D, it is a very good choice. From what I've seen GMS has some good examples/tutorials that you go through step by step in the editor itself.

GMS is no longer the buggy piece of poo poo it was a year ago, nowadays we have no one to blame but ourselves when something goes wrong.

If I recall correctly, there is a free demo version you can check out, it has a handful of features locked and maybe some watermark when you boot your games but you can use it for as long as you want.
