This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Writing a super long dialog and I'm kinda worried it is so overly long that people will start skipping through it after the halfway point. At the same time though, I can't really make it any shorter or I can't include everything I want in it.

I really like some of the longer dialogs in the first game, like the "Tell me about the lines on a bball Charles" and the whole one billion slamdunks throughout the cosmos one. They are really short in comparison though and I feel they are also a lot better in every single way.

This has some really goofy animations here and there (plus possibly the most iconic animation in the entire game?) during it but it goes on for a long time.

Only time will tell if people love it or hate it.

The key is to highlight major narrative shifts by 1. having a music shift, 2. having one of the characters walk away, then turn to face the other characters again, or 3. having the setting fade to a starscape/sepia scene of the past, leaving the characters the only things in color.

You know what would also help players stay focused? Use color coding to highlight proper nouns- but I assume you're doing that already. Also, ofc, characters providing major backstory segments should have their words slowly fade in without a textbox, independent of player text speed settings or input. This tells the player that this text is especially important.

The use of ... before and after every word has been very liberal. Lot of unwarranted dramatic pauses.

holy poo poo this thread, I forgot this even existed. is this ever going to actually happen, or is it going to be just like 99% of all other kickstarters? Is the dude working on it even around anymore?
Hi! I'm the main coder for this dumb game. Barcula 2: Queklain no Vengeant is very much happening! But as it turns out, making a huge goddamn games takes a huge amount of goddamn time. The game has a quite silly scope in terms of story and gameplay. There are a lot of stupid intricate gameplay systems that they force me to implement.

Here is something i've been working on lately! It's a thing intended to speed up development of the game by letting us make changes to cinematics and other things without needing to restart/recompile the game (the game is now so big that this can take ~5 minutes of a normal PC, imagine doing that every time you want to fix a spelling error or tweak some timing).

I wish we could post much more of our progress than we do, but since the game is not randomly generated like all other indie titles these days, anything we show off would be a massive spoiler. Franklin shows off his pixel plotting sessions in his streams and that's pretty much as far as we can go, even then half the things he does are under wraps and don't show up on the stream. As for my work, I made a KS update on collision systems and you can check the above link, but other than that I don't really have much of interest to show. Screenshots and such kind of tend to get more interest than a pastebin of 400 lines of code.

The game is still planned to be at the scope that we originally planned, which means we haven't cut out anything of significance. We would rather delay the game and release the best Gunslinging RPG With Baseball B-Ball Jokes ever than cut things and push it out the door.
