This would be perfect if you could fit in the KS tagline.

Yeah, that really was the best thing about the first Barkley game. Just how completely straight it was played. From fighting a ghostly Bill Cosby to a fight to the death (with Sweet Georgia Brown playing in the background!) with Michael Jordan. It is all played dead serious.

Complete with gratuitous ellipsis use so you know it is really serious.

I'll echo this sentiment. The whole of the game's writing is unflinching in its adherence to the game world. Barkley is the perfect straight man in this sense: he realizes just how ridiculous every thing is, but he still lives inside the world and is forced to comply with it all. In a way, it makes me think of Hank Hill and what makes King of the Hill such a good show.

Maybe Tim Duncan would be down, his love for WoW and DnD is well known.

I envisioned the Barkley sequel as a game called Slam Spirit Summoners where you allied with the ghosts of ballers past to dunk your enemies into oblivion.

I dunno, I thought of it like Jade Cocoon. Really, I just want a game where my team can consist of Barkley, Shaq, VC, Blake Griffin, and Hakeem Olajuwon.

Even if Barkley did die on Necron 5, did his corpse survive intact? Because I would hate for the Shrekmono to be destroyed. That was the Duergar union leader's fey mood artifact; if he found out it was destroyed in the Epicenter of a Chaos Drunk he'll either go on a killing spree or fall into a deep, inconsolable depression and starve himself to death.

Holy gently caress, I forgot about the Shrekmono. BSUaJ:G,COotHBS was truly a masterpiece.

Wow, the sprite making process for Barkley 2 is pretty impressive, here's a speed up version of 6-8 hours of work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGcyip_Yegw

This is awesome. I really love the look of the game, it's both cartoony and very lively. Great job, fellas.

That sounds like a really good idea. Maybe pair it with a "Get your art into Barkley 2" contest.

Finally, a venue for my Shrekmono oekaki (that's "drawing" for you gaijin on board).

How powerful of a Game'sing rig do I need to run TMRoTnn:EfN7-RoC:TOGotM-C2ofHBSG? My laptop (more like craptop, heh) is pretty weak, and I don't know if it will buckle under the immense weight and girth of this substantial vidrig.

Non-denominational season's greetings, Barkley 2 thread. For X-mas, I received a pledge to the Barkley 2 campaign in my name. I come to this thread seeking reimbursement for my baka family's poor decisions, and compensation for emotional damages sustained to the tune of 5.000.000 yen (approx. $5000). I will be seeking litigation for this travesty if my demands are not met. Barkley 2 is a mockery of true vidcons everywhere, and it is a project that no true self-respecting nihonjin should be supporting.

5,000,000 yen is almost $60000 dollars. You are mockery of true vidcon gamers everywhwere.

I don't work in degenerate American currency often, sorry. I guess it works that this pitiful excuse for a Kickstarter is performing well, because I will be paid my dues or else. I come from a long lineage of some of Japan's finest lawyers, whose peerless logic could shatter the frail mind of any typical American lawyer.

If it takes you $120000 to make 3 animated cutscenes, would $100000 get us at least one? Maybe an opening video?

I want to see the next step in the Barkleyverse mythos. Who created the Space Ziggurats? What does Cuchulainn want with the dwarves? Why is negative b-ball energy so inherently destructive? All these; and more.

owl milk posted:

what happened is they got enough funding to make the game way way way bigger than they first planned so even tho they hired another guy it's taking much longer than anticipated since they're still a very small team and want to maintain a high level of quality. the last update is an obvious indicator of that, where they finally finished the backend stuff after like 2.5 years and can now really work on content which is a very professional approach and p much the opposite of how indie games work.

if you want regular updates you should sub to frankie's streams, he's been doing barkley 2 stuff about every other week and plays it sometimes to test stuff. it's looking really good

Also $120k spread out over multiple people and three years is not a fulltime budget so these people have other jobs they need to work.

Can I copy-paste the error messages from the old, crashier versions of Barkley into B2 for sweet, unique Gun's? It could be like Monster Rancher, where you could go through a hundred discs in one go, only to wind up with a green Suezo and a Mocchi with worse-than-default stats.

Monster Rancher ruled and is one of those experiences that could never possibly be replicated today. The physical satisfaction of slamming a sick monster disk down was simply the best.

Do guns have alt fire? I think something that would be fun/weird would be a gun that shoots out bullets that hang in midair, and then travel towards a laser pointer when you alt fire. Probably too complicated but that's my thought at least.

You guys should talk to adult swim games maybe they can help you finish it theyve scooped up some other indies already

The biggest issue as far as I can tell is that the crew is really really pushing the Game Maker engine to its absolute limits with the size and scale of this game. A production company could help if they wanted to port the game to a new engine (maybe not a bad idea) but at this stage of development it's probably sunk cost more than anything.
