I got put on the team and I used my time to get a draft of the ending. I'm going to spoil it for you. Actual real rear end spoilers follow

Cyber Dwarf's head lies near death on the floor near Hoopz while Cuchulainn laughs about how everything has been futile and Hoopz was better off staying in the jail city not knowing of his past. Cyber Dwarf laughs to this and tells Hoopz that it's not pointless. He should never give up... and that he has a special message from his father.
His cyber eye lights up and a shadow hologram of a familiar man is displayed. It's Barkley. He gives a inspiring speech to Hoopz telling him that he needs to revive the soul of B-Ball if he's going to ever find his inner strength. Before the message can finish though Cuchulainn crushes his head under foot killing Cyber Dwarf.
Something snaps in the once innocent Hoopz as he watches his friend die. The last of his memories come flooding back into him as he remembers the joy of dribbling. Filled with a newfound fury he grips his B-Ball tightly.
"That finally shut him up. He was seriously getting on my nerves" sneers the powerful Cuchulainn before he notices the b-ball glowing in Hoopz hand.

"What's that? You think a B-ball can stop me?" He asks as a pure blue energy swirls around it causing the b-ball to spin violently, Hoopz tears streaming down his cheeks. "I know it will. I'm going to end this right now." He spits as he propels himself forward, jamming the spinning blue b-ball into Cuchulainn's chest causing the villain to cough blood directly into Hoopz face. "W-what is this? This power?!" He screams.
"It's my special technique you baka, it's the Rasengan!" Cuchulainn's face twists into rage as his body begins to crumble. "This can't be happening! Me, defeated? Impossible!"

Hoopz smirks. "Believe it!"

Cuchulainn is then blown to bits.


There, now we can never wonder about the game again.

i believe that this is how the game would actually end, and now i can die a happy old woman

A couple new bugs:

If you die and quit the game on the cinematic, the respawn coordinates aren't set so your save file is now unloadable

The eat candy hotkey is still active while inside the recharging tube

If you breed a powerful enough gun there is no lower limit on rate of fire, so it can dump all thousand or so bullets in a single frame and crash the engine

By the way, that ending spoiler is actually remarkably similar to the actual ending, just replace the BBall Rasengan with a Cyber Spear and add +1 boss battle.

The last Barkley is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace...

Seriously though I don't have much to add at this point. Thanks to the togster revelations I could finally stop waiting for B2 and move on, like a ghost at the end of a movie. Thank you for everyone who spoke out. It can't have been easy to admit that the project was messed up after all the time and effort put into it. I wish the best for you in whatever you are doing in the future.

Honestly it isn't worth playing except as a historical curiosity, the sprites are great but everything else is misguided at best.

What is worth playing is katana zero, which feels a little like a barkey spiritual sequel but is actually fun

how do you save the game

i knew the game was doomed from the moment i got out of the tutorial and realized that the sluggish dodge rolling and even more sluggish movement wasn't a joke and you really do just move and roll that slow

Yeah, it was all clunky as gently caress and they weren’t lying that playtesting was priority Z when going over their main issues with development.

The Taurus didn't offer much for drivers craving the sport sedan experience. That changed with the 1989 debut of the Ford Taurus SHO (for Super High Output), a Q-ship of the finest order that offered up a high-revving Yamaha-designed V-6 engine and a tight sport suspension.

I expected bad gameplay but didn't expect the total lack of joke's.
The serious:jokey dialogue ratio is like 20:1, katana zero has more jokes per line.

It's actually real sad, the only thing I expected from the game is that it would be funny

I laughed at character creation then got in game and ne'er laughed anew

tbf i think this is partly a consequence of the specific slice of the game we got- iirc the humor was supposed to be kind of backloaded after the early part gives you the setting/story with a more-or-less straight face, and the demo cuts off before we'd be fully past that

Pretty sure it's because the team members who were great comedy writers jumped ship long ago.

You clearly have Joke's turned off in the Option's menu.

He'll go to bad for any other game dev no matter what they do.

Also the whole "lied for years (like two) about whether or nor Nuclear Throne was being worked on including claiming that it was Vita cert fault that Update 99 was endlessly late to be released for PC and stuff, and ended up just hiring some Nuclear Throne modders to actually put out Update 99 which was just a bug fix patch and then declared that the last update and the game finished despite being blatantly unfinished".

Say what you want about Gungeon gameplay, but they at least got the game to 1.0.
