Sorry dude, the Wizard was there, but there weren't no cyberdwarf. Wish I was free during the past few days, or else I could have gone to the events where he was...

That being said, the Wizard was hands-down the best thing I experienced at PAX.

Can I copy-paste the error messages from the old, crashier versions of Barkley into B2 for sweet, unique Gun's? It could be like Monster Rancher, where you could go through a hundred discs in one go, only to wind up with a green Suezo and a Mocchi with worse-than-default stats.

Monster Rancher ruled and is one of those experiences that could never possibly be replicated today. The physical satisfaction of slamming a sick monster disk down was simply the best.

The Taurus didn't offer much for drivers craving the sport sedan experience. That changed with the 1989 debut of the Ford Taurus SHO (for Super High Output), a Q-ship of the finest order that offered up a high-revving Yamaha-designed V-6 engine and a tight sport suspension.

I'm starting to think that Barkley 2 is one of those alternate reality games and we've been 'playing' since the kickstarter launched.

Pretty good so far. Looking forward to season 3.

If you look at a sonograph of 42:00-46:00 of the podcast you can piece together a QR code that leads to a .TIFF of the Cyberdwarf's left ankle and calf.

hahah, that was me explaining in that video! I was coaching people on the game pretty hard for the Battle build, but I usually left people alone to experience the story build.

Over the course of Pax I slowly learned how to best coach people into playing the game "the way we want them to". This was my first Pax, and essentially my first time showing others how to play, so it had a bit of a learning curve.
Its a little tricky, the game doesnt have a proper tutorial yet, and is complicated enough that it kinda needs one! Yet it *feels* self-explanatory: you run and shoot. But its got some weird stuff, and if you dont know it, you can get confused pretty quickly. Like how you have both your normal gun's which you can cycle through at will, and also a bag of random gun's you just picked up, and you tap a button to try them out one by one. Kind of a weird concept to explain, since it doesnt make much real-world sense.

There were a few recurring problems, like people running around taking the enemies too lightly, which usually resulted in getting overwhelmed. This is because the enemies are a little more tough than they look, so some people run around expecting them to die in a few shots, while they actually warrant your full attention. Part of this depended on how lucky or unlucky they got with their randomized arsenal, too. I found it was a good idea to tell people to either expect the enemies to be tougher than they look, or that their weapons are a little too weak. That usually helped a lot in getting them to play at the right rhythm. There's some balance issues to deal with there, and also just some issues with looks: some enemies dont look buff enough for how much health they got, it sends the player the wrong message about how seriously they should take em. The slightly taller cybergremlins that shoot at you are an example of these, I should redraw their torso sprites, make em look a bit bigger.

Another problem has been the minigun we set as one of the default weapons the players start with. If you know how to use it, its the strongest weapon you start with. Its very strong, but wielding it slows you down, and instead of firing immediately, it needs to wind up for a few seconds before the shooting begins. Players who switch to the minigun in the heat of battle panic when they find themselves unexpectedly slowed down and unable to shoot. A lot of people died to this! Of course in the real game, you wouldn't just start with that unknown weapon in your inventory, you would be building your arsenal slowly over time and know how your own gun's work. There is also a sound cue for the gatling guns and miniguns, a wind-up whirring noise, but you couldnt really hear it much in the chaos of Pax.

There were a few other things, like we should probably have taken out the random weapon property that makes gun's hurt the player when you shoot. One player randomly got two weapons with that property at the start of the demo.

It looks a bit too stiff right now, its missing a proper getting-up animation. Were putting the pause there to make you a little vulnerable at the end of a roll, and also to make sure rolling isn't faster than walking over long distances, so people don't roll around for the whole drat game.
