The first game was one of the best RPGs of that year.

Are you going to use terrible JRPG music? The last game made me legit like Eternity from blue dragon.

Speaking of which, does barkley actually know the first game exists?

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.



So basically Final Fantasy 10 with basketball players.



Hoops is titus, who will be Yuna?

Welp, the new stretch goals have convinced me to up my pledge to 40 bucks.

I would double my pledge if this was on the table.

The time, effort, and money would be much better spent just getting it on Steam, where you will likely make money hand over fist. Steam is also big on advertising games that work on Mac (and soon, Linux), so the infrastructure will be there for the ports, too.



Yeah, as much as I would love to play Barkley 2 on the go, I feel like I would much rather have those resources go to more content.

Licensing even one of those songs would probably cost all the potential Kickstart income times ten. Seriously that poo poo is incredibly expensive.



Really? It would be hilarious if the original theme song to a bad 16 year old movie was super expensive to license.

I don't know how much it would actually cost, but from the way thing are going, it looks like you guys might actually end up with enough money to reasonably license Space Jam.

Please make that a new stretch goal.



They already got the artist who made the original song right? can they just license the instrumentals and do a remix related to the game?


[e] Bonus points if the can get someone in Japan to do vocals in english.

Is it possible to license only the instrumental part of a song? if so it must be cheaper, so a remix about the game would be awesome.

On the sick cheevo front you could always make a bunch of bizarre requirements. Or do like the Stanley Parable guy and keep changing what you need to arbitrary stuff.

Off topic but I don't get Greenlight. Is it supposed to be a cheaper/easier way for indie people to get their stuff on? I see a lot of games that you'd think would be able to just throw whatever the usual amount is to get listed.



From what I hear it used to be pretty hard for a indie outfit without a publisher to get on steam (whether they need one or not). Greenlight was created to let the community decide if a game can get on steam or not. It's just that a major chunk of indie games are poo poo and the community will let pretty much anything in no matter how bad or unfinished if you promise enough stuff or say 'like minecraft/day z' a bunch.


Greenlight started out with a noble goal I guess but holy poo poo, just look at the approved titles

http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=765&browsesort=pending&p=1


It's either anime,zombies, clones, ios app ports, or platformers. Now imagine a huge backlog of samey games no one wants clogging up steam and you pretty much have an idea what greenlight did.

All this could be prevented with just a monthly update. Like, most people would have probably been ok if the got something like the gun thing talking about stuff in the game ever so often. Not only is there 0 information they didn’t even finish all of those updates.

Chef vanished from the project 2 1/2 years ago. I've tried contacting him multiple times and haven't received a response. Bort left around the same time to be a family man.

The Kickstarter was not necessary, especially in hindsight. The majority of work on this game was unpaid. Myself, Bort, and Chef are the original Barkley 1 creators. I did not join the Kickstarter with them because I was aware of the many problems that could (and did) arise.

I was asked to join the project 3 years after the KS when the project had little money and was in shambles. I was committed to trying to finish the game but it was consistently set back by horrible management and I ended up quitting. The person who owns ToG and is running it now had nothing to do with Barkley 1 and has zero game dev experience. He is the ToG PR guy.

When I quit, Lazrool also quit. We were the only two remaining who understood the technical inner workings of this game. Laz worked on this project nearly from the start, pro bono, and was tired of the nonsense as well.

There is no incentive for "ToG" or anyone attached to the KS to talk about this debacle.


This sucks. I talked poo poo but I didn’t think the game was actually dead.

Who was in charge of the kickstarter updates? It was alway pretty funny that tog promised to communicate more by putting out a series detailing the different gun types and only got to entry 2.



It’s also pretty funny for all the places for Barkley 2 to die it would be here, the thread that’s been solely never ever jokes for years.

How does the rights for something like this work? Could the original devs just make a gamemaker Barkley 3 without any middlemen without getting sued?

LISA is a good game, and I rarely enjoy RPG. It’s too bad that the DLC follow-up seems like it was badly designed and sort of compromises the quality if the original game by overexplaining and expanding the story in uninteresting ways.

Funnily enough you probably feel that way about the dlc because it was a kickstarter stretch goal.
