have you... played Yakuza? because like 75% of any given Yakuza game is a chill adventure in a small but extremely content-dense and vibrant open world, just like Shenmue

they just swapped the QTE fights for beat-em-up fights

their ask was pretty low which was a mistake a lot of early kickstarters made.

i'm still mad gamers gave shenmue 3 - a game that not only had publisher backing but is going to be terrible (the original games are novelties and don't hold up) - 5 million.

Running out of sticky icky cashish was not the primary issue with Barkley 2's development.

Besides I don't begrudge other kickstarters their success unless they're, like, that nazi anime card game.

All you do in Shenmue is talk to people and then rarely get into a fight or rarely get a QTE. Yakuza is a straight up brawler beat em up game with a bunch of sidequests, but you are always fighting random dudes as you go around in Yakuza.

So yakuza is Shenmue but with a brawler on top of it.

For backers trying to access the demo, clicking the link from your email won't work. You need to visit the Kickstarter Page, go to the updates, then click the link from there. That worked for me. Otherwise I think Itch.io thinks you're not supposed to be able to download it.

Quick link to the updates page.

yakuza is literally just shenmue but with random encounters, and also without the awful time system where you have to sit around for like an actual real life hour waiting for the tattoo parlor to open so that the guy in the tattoo parlor can tell you to come back tomorrow

Even using the link on that page I just get a 404 from itch.io. Do I have to make an itch.io account too?

I downloaded it from here: https://talesofgames.itch.io/barkley-2/download/HzpM0wbDsmwVrHQ_TjKRcbBTKWmSCQGoh2i8LFbY .

It's neat to have this but man, it is janky right now. Can't seem to make the window maximise without out the whole frame juddering or have the mouse work on about the last 5th of the screen (where the settings button is). But, it actually exists, holy poo poo.

Press F6 and then F2.

This is a known bug, if you roll past the barrels in the tutorial (which is not supposed to be possible, but happens occasionally somehow) you skip the part where you are given a gun and told how to use it. We couldn't pin down what's causing that one in time for launch, sorry.

You'll get a new gun once you're past the prologue and then you'll have full functionality.

Ah cheers, works like a charm.

I'll have to give this a proper go tomorrow. But, from just messing around with it for about 20 minutes it's way more functional than I thought it was going to be.

Lots of stuff in the utility station works only with the side buttons and not with the actual screen, that was so that the gamepad works easily with em, but yeah it makes it a bit counter-intuitive.

I made it past the prologue by restarting and skipping the eggbot but just as an FYI both times I rolled past the barrels. It looksed a bit wonky but didn't realize at the time that was a glitch.
