If there's one thing I've learned from trying to run an art team on a failed project it's that You can never be sure of what someone on the team is gonna just suddenly wanna die on the hill about. You may get your specific chickens in the coop but god forbid the programmer with no art expertise starts making decisions about art and won't back down on it.

You may get your specific chickens in the coop but god forbid the programmer with no art expertise starts making decisions about art and won't back down on it. From running my own team, my biggest lessons have been to hire people who have similar personalities/ways of thinking and get along, and to hire people who understand boundaries. Coders don't need to be telling artists how to draw and vice versa. It's idealistic to be like "more perspectives is better!" but in practice it usually results in 6 people having their own ideas of how they want the game to be and everything devolving into bickering and politics. But you're right - generally whenever I've struggled with a person who just will not let a certain idea go, to the point it jeopardises their place on the team, it's been artists.

It was actually NOT the artists. that was a well oiled machine including my own work. The programmer decided that we needed realtime lighting with painterly assets made specifically for unlit. I then made like 4 separate dirt textures that was discarded because they weren't high enough contrast. Because the lighting was wrong. Then we couldn't see characters, so he applies a cel shader to them rather than just... fix the thing I kept telling him to do. It wasn't until the project was nearly dead that we got it changed and SUPRISE EVERYTHING LOOKED NICE IN UNLIT. I definitely caused my own issues, don't get me wrong. It was a disaster zone from the start. I take full responsibility for how long some assets took to actually get finished (UI stuff I never actually did) and other mess. But I can never forget that part of things. Diabetes Forecast fucked around with this message at 10:50 on Jun 7, 2019 |

Some coders are just like that and think that being the "putting stuff together guy" gives them jurisdiction on how things should look too. The best people to work with are the ones that let other people do their jobs.

Sorry to interrupt demochat but I wanted to focus on something important that I think got glossed over in that KS updateTruecon420 posted:I’m showing this not to surprise anyone about how COMPLETE the game is, or even prove that “See! Work was done!” I’m just attempting to explain the systems that work in the game currently. Look at that sentence. Look at what it's trying to actually say. It is a desperate attempt to pretend the game's state is impressive. It's like saying "I don't want y'all to focus on how ripped my arms are getting, I just want to show you my new shirt." He's not trying to explain the state, he's pretending to do that while attempting to give the impression that the game is really close to being complete. If it ain't deliberate, it reads exactly like how I would do it if I was being deliberate and trying really hard to imply that it wouldn't be that much work to get it up and running, and hey you'd get your name in a finished product, I'm not saying you should come work for free but we are this close- gently caress, I cannot imagine what y'all went through to try to get this thing made. I'm horrified by the stories that are coming out. Also the demo is a beautiful thing.

Barkley III is looking good, it certainly is better than B2 can ever hope to be. As for that KS update, it's total PR bullshit. You should not believe a word of it without further proof being presented. If I were to make an estimation of how complete B2 is, I would break it down like this: The first segment of the game, the tutorial, is done. It's not interesting or funny, which is a really good way for us to keep people interested who are there expecting a sequel to barkley1. It lasts for about 5 minutes, less than that if you skip the yapping. Then comes the "best" section of the game, Tir na Nog. It's good and afaik whatever incomplete stuff there used to be there has been completed, or moved somewhere else. You would have to really try to find gameplay/quest issues there. There's plenty of things and quests to do in TNN. The sewers are passable as a first dungeon. The enemies are very basic, but it's the first dungeon so who cares. The related bosses are a total disgrace and that's really the main problem here. After TNN you can freely roam the lands to your hearts content. There are some "towns" you can visit for questing. A few of them work OK but it's nothing to hold your breath over. Lots of empty and unfinished stuff here. If you follow the "main quest" you can do it up to a point and then it just... stops. There's no way to progress without debug tools.

I'm going to play the gently caress out of this so hard when i get home. I'll just restate that at some point a synopsis of the planned plot might be cool. Like how Marc Laidlaw posted a summary of how Half-Life 3 would have gone.

gonna gather a hoard of game-obsessed psychopaths to force someone to release their legal obligation over a game and then kidnap the original designers to build a game that died long ago after so many years of waiting, i will burn down the world to finally play neophyte

mp5 posted:It sounds like they want to be finished with it, not finish it I mean they would rather it be dead and buried than in a half-there dev hell, but they'd like to actually finish it even more. Again, they just don't think that's doable. But with the fan backlash against Liam something might change there. And if it doesn't, it doesn't, and that's the point where you should be encouraging their closure
