If the original guys got together and made their own Barkley 2, which one would be more canon?

Yes.

I really feel bad for Frankie. I watched some of his live streams as he was making over a thousand guns's'. All that hard work for nothing.

Sometimes, the journey of making 1000 guns sprites is more important than the destination.

Well ain't that precious?

So I guess my joke about them abandoning the game years ago, and nobody telling Frankie while he makes a thousand sprites was true.

Sleeveless posted:

They are right now at this moment letting people pay money for a project that does not exist, has made no real effort towards existing for years now, and which they have actively worked to obfuscate the fact that it will not ever exist. That's pretty much the definition of a scam.


Just because someone made a game you liked 11 years ago doesn't mean that they're a good person or that you have to defend them. Especially when they weren't the people who by and large actually did do all the skilled labor for free.

A scam would involve someone, somewhere, making money off of this. If this is a scam it is maybe the least successful one I've ever heard of.

It seems pretty clear from hiratio's post that at some point after the original team had run out of money they had to re-examine their priorities. Making a game takes many hours of hard work. Free time that would otherwise be spent with friends, family, and other things would have to be given up. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to make that kind of sacrifice. I'm sure it was a hard decision to make.
I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to make that kind of sacrifice but it seems pretty fair to blame at least SOMEONE for making the stupid decisions that put them in that spot in the first place.

Breaking character temporarily in order to share some sincere thoughts; sorry. Although it's disappointing to learn that I'll never get to read all of Pump's DWARFNet posts, I'm glad that someone came forward to talk about what's been going on. Recently I've been thinking about how game developers - or software developers in general, really - can foster a healthier and more receptive community by being open and communicative about the development process. Kind, patient, and forgiving responses from eager fans - as opposed to toxic and entitled ones - are surprisingly common if you're open about the difficulties involved in bringing the project to fruition. Let people see you're just doing your best to accomplish something difficulty with finite resources and they'll understand. Eventually, whether you succeed, fail, or even just release something unfinished, you'll be in a position to handle it in the way that's best for everyone, without being paralyzed by guilt or fearing that you'll just be seen as making excuses. You want to get it finished at least as much as anybody watching, after all!
