The thread saga is better than the game.

Finish the game and put this whole thread on dwarfnet but replace all references to The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 – Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie – Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa with "Angelique: Tenkuu no Chikonka 2"

Maybe the game is still in development and this whole thing is just part of the meta narrative. That would be so barnsley

GZ, I understand you are upset and understandably so. I think your current perception is inaccurate. If you seriously want to the game to thrive, please just go ahead and start working. “I quit; the game is dead; I’m the game’s only hope; I need to tell everyone how someone else ruined the game” is a strange position for the game. You have the repo. Start working. Don’t talk to bhroom. Steal it for all I care. You will never hear me say he did a great job managing this game.

This part of the post makes me lol so much. "You don't like how my brother is managing the game? Well then do all the work you were doing for free, then! That'll really show us!"

it seems really unfair that frankie spent all that time and effort making literal thousands of sprites only for nothing to come of it
not that everyone else didn't put in time and effort as well but he was literally working towards nothing, long after everyone else stopped

i hope it paid well

Considering how much of Barkley's humor is built around joking about weird internet subcultures and fandoms it's frankly unreal that the sequel died with a literal Kokoro Wish post.

As much as people make fun of Jonathan Blow, maybe there is something to waiting until your game is totally completed top to bottom before hiring someone to make good graphics to replace your programmer art.

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.

Yeah, part of why I was excited for barkley 2 was the graphics were sooo good looking, and the music was awesome.

AT least frankie's making his own game now.

A woman named Jennifer Diane Reitz who owned a gaming website in the mid-90s made it big by selling it right before the dotcom bubble burst and became a millionaire as a result and got to retire in her 30s and spend her days drawing webcomics and basically living the weeaboo dream. Since she was openly a transwoman and in a polyamorous relationship a bunch of gross dudes spent the first half of the 00s stalking and harassing her for incredibly lovely reasons, one of the sagas of that time was her coming up with the typical pie-in-the-sky game idea of an impossibly complex and huge in scope RPG. Since she didn't know how to code she tasked her partner with making it, and when he was unable to deliver and explained that it was basically impossible she vented by drawing a comic strip of him apologizing to her for failing her.

"My Kokoro Wish" is basically old internet shorthand for a person refusing to acknowledge their unrealistic expectations in a creative project and/or projecting all these shortcomings on the inability of others to make the impossible happen for them.

She resurfaced very briefly in the early 2010s when she won a minecraft texture pack contest and immediately got outed as having built it entirely out of stolen assets

Also supposedly she and her partners spent much of their happypuppy windfall on anime merch, like hundreds of thousands of dollars worth

Also check out transsexual.org sometime if you want to :stare: at an incredible waste of a presumably very valuable domain (also it's full of weird pseudoscience and a lot of trans people cite it as something that messed them up when they stumbled across it while they were still figuring poo poo out)

Cool lady.

Less like exploring a dungeon, more like being ferried through a rail shooter? It seems like a significant break in immersion anyway.
I agree it looks really nice but I don't think it would be my cup of tea.
