There's an elevator in Barkley 2 that takes you to a volcano castle that is on top of a windmill.

Just kidding, it's a ladder not an elevator.

It's actually the ladder from MGS3, but there is also a guy in a jeep talking to you the whole time you climb the ladder. What follows shortly after is "Chapter 2: Slog" and then you replay the tutorial again and the game just ends abruptly.

You weren't funny before and you're especially not funny now that there's an official devblog so we don't have to pretend to put up with your deflections in exchange for any table scrap of information on this game.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

I'd argue that if anything this makes it better.

Gortarius, how are the groundbreaking design and story sensibilities of Hotline Miami 2 influencing the Barkley creation process?

Gort's posts are actually very funny. The comedy in the game is probably going to be very similar to his posts, so if you don't like his posts you might not like the game. Just something to consider!

Aight ill try to stream barkley work more often.
Its just been really boring stuff lately, stuff so mindless I really want to distract myself with videos while I work. Cant stream while watching vids!!

Its mostly a looping playlist of nerds playing and talking through Heretic or Hexen. That's my jam. I do my best work with 1994-1996 Raven Software lets plays.

Right now I'm looking for videos of nerds playing through very obscure dungeon crawlers, especially those eye of the beholder types with a first person view and tiled movement. Obnoxious voice-overs are a plus. Anyone's got tips??
Every time I look for dungeon crawlers all I find is a tidal wave of people playing Stone Soup. Stone Soup is great, but I know that one already, and it doesn't have the most inspiring art.


Anyway, I'll probably be finishing up some enemies soon. That aught to be more interesting than shifting sprites around for hours, I'll be sure to link here when I start.

Wizardry 4, Stonekeep, Anvil of Dawn, Might & Magics 1-4 (especially ll for the Genesis).

For newer fare: Heroes of a Broken Land, Heroine Dusk.

For non-dungeon crawler: Phantasy Star ll and lV, Rings of Power, Snatcher.

I love your channel, dude.

See... I really don't understand some people... the game is in Alpha... its being developed around us... they are doing things that have never been done before... not having been done.. means timelines (at best) are educated guesses, at worst pipe dreams.

As for direction... there are times that component B they are working on will have direct impact on Component ZZ that you're waiting for.

I do, however, appreciate their relative openess on what is going on ... what is halting development, what issues they encounter... and so forth... I know a bunch of released games that don't do that for their patches/updates.

Personally? Making games has always been a big hobby/dream. Being able to turn it into reality, and work for a long time on a huge game and create the game I myself would love to play, is pretty much a dream come true.

My only regret is not being able to spend as much time on it as I would prefer. Life is life!

A little something to consider is that Nuclear Throne has been in development since late 2012 and just came out a few days ago. That game is in some ways similiar to B2 in terms of combat, if you add towns npcs and story and a whole bunch of other things on top of that then you have A Big Game.

yeah ive gone from being frustrated and bitter over the lack of news and info to just being content with looking forward to an eventual release ever since the dev tumblr went up. this game is something that i'm (embarrassingly) invested in, emotionally and financially, and it's nice to know there are actual people out there trying to make a quality game to play.

I am actually working on making a game almost exactly like what you have suggested right here. It is heavily inspired by a blurry misreading of the Barkley 2 Kickstarter page.

Chapter 2 was Good, but what I'm getting from this is that Barkley 2 was actually Chapter 3 all along.

I'd like to think the devs, or at least some of them, have little discussions about stuff posted in this thread.

"Are we still on schedule for that 2013 release date?"
"*reads post* Added part of that guy's post to dwarfnet.txt."
"Bjork jokes, bjork jokes, are those actually going to be a thing?"
"Have any of these people actually played b1 or even supported b2?"
"Is this guy making serious suggestions or just joking around..."
"Having ammo sink into the ground sure is simple and anticlimatic"
"Should we give them a status update or keep them hanging? *goes on tirade about intentionally crafted dystopian posting environment and attitude*"

I also kind of liked the thread more when there was no actual news. I just wanted to check a very desperate thread until one day there is a post, b2 is out, and then out of nowhere it consumes at least 2 hours of my life which is pretty much how time I spend on any type of single player rpg before getting distracted by something else.
