Bisse posted:tl;dr the entire team ghosted the project leaving only delusional PR guy left to run it. a few months later about half the team emerged to proclaim the game dead and blow the lid on the shitshow that was the making of it. this all prompted an actual demo release wow... which sucked. the game is now dead and everyone is doing other things and noone is ever touching this again because the game is really bad. ah ok that's a shame, to be honest I felt from day one that doing a whole isometric shooter was a bad idea and that the games real talent was the writing and story, so they probably shouldve stuck to a simpler RPG system. drat, I hope the team finds some happiness and a new project to do, they're good at comedic writing so I hope they pull back.

That's me. I'm the idiot posting the memes. Bisse posted:Also FutureDays how did you find the scripts, were they part of the demo assets? As a true doom murderhead, I mastered the ancient art of unpacking the game assets with freeware software found after 10 seconds of googling! Also somehow I was sent a dev build, which means I could see the actually fun parts in all their glory. https://i.imgur.com/KmYwLFv.mp4

I wouldn't do it, either, out of respect for our fallen and crestfallen toglords and because who knows what kind of n.i.n.j.a. trickery they could play on me if I do it...

The news that the game was dead is what caused him to melt down last time and try to pretend the game was still being made and caused the release of the content we did get.

Bisse posted:Anyway random thought, replayed Majoras Mask recently and was struck by how much better it works. B2 would work a lot better if it was a short timeloop. I played that game Minit when it came out and thought it completely dropped the ball with the mechanic and had been hoping someone would do that MM loop thing well. The problem with Minit it is spreads everything out so your goal is to just find the next bed as a checkpoint. In my opinion the right way to do it is have a specific location densely packed with poo poo. If I wasn't so lazy I'd try tackling it myself but alas.

I read a recent interview with Jay Tholen, the creator of Hypnospace Outlaw, and it gave me flashbacks to Barkley 2's development. Specifically, he mentions that the game started as a driving game where you were a cyber cop car chasing perps on the information superhighway and the fake internet was just going to be flavor between levels and about the cybercriminals you were chasing, but as soon as it he started posting stuff about it the fake internet got way more attention than the driving part and eventually it just became a game entirely about the fake internet with the driving part being a small minigame you unlock. It makes me think back to the days of DwarfNET when everyone was loving what they were showing of it and how so much time and effort was spent making unique icons and writing text, and how of the game had similarly undergone some soul-searching at that early stage and realized that that was way better and more achievable than a sprawling action RPG with a huge wacky weapon randomization mechanic.

Why don't you just jam with the rest, pal?

Just retool all the dwarfnet stuff into the basis for Barkley 3: A Vidcon Novella and use the framing device of a savage flame war about how bad Barkley 2 sucked as the inciting incident for the game's metanarrative. Drop in occasional playable vertical slices of B2 as progression incentives and have them get increasingly bizarre and incoherent the further you get through the branching paths forums posting portion of the game. I'm thinking kind of a Goonies 2 setup but worse. You have a chance to poo poo out The Dhalgren of Game's here, please seize it

The news that the game was dead is what caused him to melt down last time and try to pretend the game was still being made and caused the release of the content we did get. It says a lot about his attitude that even for that release he felt the need to gate content.

I'm thinking kind of a Goonies 2 setup but worse. You have a chance to poo poo out The Dhalgren of Game's here, please seize it Barkley 3 was released already and as a low-effort shitpost based on this thread, it's way better than B2 could ever be. RE: vidcon's about posting, Hypnospace Outlaw is on sale. Go check it out if you wanna pretend you're browsing and posting. As for Dwarfnet, from what I could gather it's REALLY bare. While the writing is 5/5, there are sadly not that many posts in it at all! Still, one of my favorite stupid dnet gags happens at the very end of the game (when there are 20 "minutes" left on the doomsday clock). Necron 7 is just about to enter the gates of HECK.  But before the last big fight there would probably be a utility station. No new posts are made, because the world is about to end, except for a dutiful dnet mod doing the job he probably paid to do:
