I feel like even minor screenshake would really add to the feel of firing the basic weapons. Worth testing!

Why would I want the screen of my top-down aRPG to be constantly shaking? This is a ridiculously terrible idea.

Will Barkley 2 require an expansion pack? I asked for one for my birthday but it's not until next April.

I really like one-frame pauses like in Wind Waker when you hit something

there's probably a right way and a wrong way to so it though

Bayonetta/Ninja Gaiden use a huge amount of it. Longer hit pause on bigger hits. It's all adapted from fighting games - it can make attacks feel super stompy, and can make multi-part attacks feel rad.

I remember a wii nba game that had a splash screen after every freaking basket. Every 30 seconds.

Should have something like that.

We've taken some inspiration from the mysterious "shooter" games and what this means is that every time you kill an enemy, you will get a voice clip that says "Kill confirmed!".

The enemies will also throw out taunts every few seconds, drowning the player in an auditory hell.

Man, every time I see this thread I'm just so (patiently) stoked for this game. Any chance it's gonna come out this year or will it be pushed to 2015? There's no rush - a good game is forever. A bad game is the butt.

I hope your vidcon completion celebration will include sending an autographed* and gift-wrapped hard copy of Barkley 2 on 63 floppy disks to the man himself, Charles Barkley. Well, maybe scratch the floppies and make it a CD, we're living in the future after all.

(* should probably just include a blank DIY autograph spot)

I have just been informed that DwarfNET needs to be completely operational within 2 weeks.

Challenge accepted.

I'm very sorry for you.

Anyways, back when there was some DwarfNET brainstorming going on, we (read: I) had some ideas about a DwarfTube where you could go and check out unboxing videos dwarfs made and rate them. Sadly there isn't really a good way to have video in the game, what with GMS not supporting video footage afaik, and then there is probably some cross-platform issues, file size issues, the small resolution of the game etc. A lot of poo poo stacked against it.

We could, in theory, make some gifs/sprites and have a sound playback go along with it and it would probably work to some extent, but that would mean reallocating resources to do so and that sure as fudge ain't happening anytime soon. Maybe there will be a DwarTube DLC.

Whenever I'm not oppressed by the producer I'm always up for working on some minigames that are completely removed from the core gameplay, so let me know if you know any good ones you would like to see. Maybe you'll find it ingame.... (most likely you wont)

DeepQantas: Jan 13, 2008; Ah, to be a Hero... Keeping such company...

Hacking minigame that's like those tubes or wires that you move/spin around.

But instead of being ~real hacking~, it's a 1v1 boardgame that you play against NPC cyberjocks at the bar.

This is great targedy.

However, there are extensions to play videos using html5 or whatever, e.g. http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=629988

aww mate I'm sure it'll be magic.

minigame ideas:
(cyber)Hoop shooting minigame - like you'd find at a funfair.
(cyber)Darts - like in Shenmue.
(cyber)paint - paint a logo to wear on your armours.

Let me get this straight. You're playing Barkley 2, thinking "this sucks, I wish I was playing some other game right now." Then, bam! You're playing some other game, without ever leaving Barkley 2!

Just another reason why ToG is ahead of their time.

1. Quick Draw mini-game like in Kirby.
2. Fishing mini-game.
3. Flight simulator mini-game where you're first person in a cockpit and you have to take-off and land based on some instructions written on a piece of paper. Also there's like a million dials and buttons and none of them are labeled but all of them are click-able. I guess you could also have the player dodge tornadoes or something. and during the flight your co-pilot talks to you about boring aviation topics like the merits of Ballistic Recovery Systems (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3663107)

Gonna quote this because it's basically the Best Idea for Barkley, aside from a collectable basketball card game you can collect and play throughout the game.

Anonymous Robot: Jun 1, 2007; Lost his leg in Robo War I

Given the gun's-centric nature of Barkley 2, when asked about a minigame all I can envision is something like this bad game I played a fuckton of as a kid:

The problem being that, as seen in the video, mouse controls kinda trivialize it.
