If Barkley 2 has been inside of us the whole time like some kind of Frog Fractions experiment of the flesh, all I have to say is not it to being cut open to harvest the pancreases required to open the gate. Mine's busted.

La Mulana 2 is getting weekly updates (194 so far!), has a beta out, and they’re planning a 2018 release after the main creator was hospitalized for a while. So obviously Barkley will be out first.

I haven't followed this thread in like 10 years, did the devs just run off with the money or did they ever explain how the game fell into development hell

Mr. Lobe
Feb 23, 2007

I think they used the money to cover their cost of living while working on the game and don't have any anymore but they didn't finish the game yet

One imagines they are still currently working on it on the off hours of whatever day jobs they have now

So it might be a while

It turns out that you can't sustain full time game development for five years with a budget of $120,000.

I'm just a normal, functioning member of the human race, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise.
Saying "game development is expensive" is insanely underselling ToG's role in this garbage. yeah, developing a game for 6 years is expensive, but also, how in the world has this stupid game been in development for 6 years?

It's not like their stretch goals inflated the scope of the game (beyond the 2nd city, which ofc we've never seen), so can you imagine if they raised the original ask of $35k? What would have happened then?

It's major incompetence. And given how often they go radio silent for months and months at a time, it's probably incompetence that's also mixed with apathy.

If this was a passion project that they just couldn't afford to work on as much as they'd like then they'd still try to keep us in the loop. They'd still appear to give a poo poo about the game and its backers. But they don't.

At this point you have to wonder what would get you idiots to stop defending them. Game development is tricky, things obviously didn't work well enough with the funds raised, but there's no excuse for these long periods of complete silence.
