I am immensely grateful for this project, and have learned a lot from it, from both what went well and what has been going poorly.
If I see some real progress in the project and they ask me to make some more assets to take this home, I'll be happy to do it.

I'm just happy that during one of your streams you followed my suggestions and made the shittiest cyborg ever, a man with a bear trap on his foot holding a sign that said "robut"

This thread has literally been the only place on the internet that talks about B2 and yet hundreds (thousands?) of people care that it's officially dead?

In my case I forgot about this website until I saw screenshots on twitter. I just sort of assumed everyone was like me, making Barkley 2 release date jokes to like two other people in some small and completely unrelated Discord server.

Thank god I got here for the Dark Draker story. Now I'm just kind of wondering if I'm supposed to go away again or keep refreshing this page in the hopes that a google alert has woken cboyardee from a coma and he's already writing his own post

Congratulations! You Won.

I backed this for $15 and I can't say it hasn't given me $15 of entertainment.

except I didn't actually back it because I was unemployed when the kickstarter was going on

now i have a good job and this game is unemployed

On the one hand I'm overjoyed there's something in this thread to talk about. In a similar vein I'm not too upset since I backed at 10 bucks and hell if these past pages havent been worth it.


On the other hand, the only thing the kickstarter actually accomplished was creating weird body pillows, which I think is worse than creating nothing.

Smell ya later, and sorry for being too much of a pussy to keep posting updates/info in here until this hellstorm came to be. I wasn't like a PR guy or anything but I took it upon myself to try and chat up with the fans/haters/backers and post some juicy bits every now and then. It was pretty lovely that I stopped doing that when it all started to sour, and I realize it's super easy to post in here now that the cat's out of the bag and it doesn't mean anything anymore, but before that I was too embarrassed and hoping beyond hope that the game would get done and then it all would be good and redeemed.

Just to clarify (because I now realize my lovely wall of text can be misleading on the Dark Draker details), they all didn't share the same sprite, or at least I don't think they did. Otherwise they were 95% copy-paste jobs.

The original Dark Draker that the others were copy-pasted from was like this short guy facing northeast or northwest. I think he had a sword and a helmet. It was one of the wasteland/bonfire people. The other Dark Drakers either had some other bonfire NPC sprite or no sprite at all until I fixed them, but what tied them all together was that if you talked to them they would all say how they are as fast as the snapping maw of a drake and how they could kill you seven times over before your corpse would hit the ground, or they would just crash the game.

Should have just released it like this. It would have been interpreted as a work of avant garde genius.

Look, I'm really glad you like the jokes in Barkley 1 but if you think this game is going to be a rehash, that we're going to rest on the laurels of the original game and repeat ourselves ad infinitum, you're going to be disappointed. Barkley 2 is built on Barkley 1, but it's not Barkley 1. If you want to see the Barkley 1 jokes again, play Barkley 1, but every time someone asks me if something is canon or if Shaq Fu happened or any of that, I kind of want to blow my brains out. Let's just take a step back, chill out and try not to kill the joke before it's even made.

Also a former-GW guy here, I really miss the whole gang. The candor around the project is appreciated. But if the game ever sees the light of day, please keep all the Dark Drakers.

Dark Draker acquired his extreme speed by stealing time from the compiler. With compile times fixed, is Dark Draker still the speed of a snapping drake?

I'm just a normal, functioning member of the human race, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise.

god the comments are loving hogwild

Woah! I was just checking if there was any news about this yesterday.

All this makes sense! Making games is not easy so I totally accepted if we didn't ever hear anything again and this project quietly died. And it still could! Which is okay, I get that many projects (not just kickstarter projects) get funded but then go nowhere, and I hope everyone else understands that, too.

I appreciate the courage that it took to post this!

I think I understand Star Citizen a lot more now
