Did that guy’s brother quietly flee the country yet?

It's everyone else who fled, that dummy seems to be trying to finish the game by offering new coders no money to tweak individual lines of code on a monthly basis until the game is done.

Everyone else has left and he's basically devoting his life to deluding himself and like five remaining fans that the game will release and be worth releasing.

Yeah i was just disappointed because his delusional denial didn't crack and cause a meltdown during the big dramatic info dump. So unfortunately he will probably just slowly stop doing anything and pretend this never happened, instead of something more interesting

Yeah the big drama was basically every single person who had worked on the first Barkley and a ton of them who did the most important work for Barkley 2 coming here to say "yeah this poo poo's all hosed, we all left and there's zero chance this will ever be released" and then one guy's dipshit brother with zero experience outside of "idea guy" going "actually, I think if I believe in myself hard enough I can do it!"

So it's about as close as humanly possible to being "officially" cancelled as you can get but there's still a single guy holding the IP and paying the bill to keep the lights on

Just imagine if me and gz would've gotten the lovely one year deal, we would all be playing barbly right now, shaking our heads in disappointment.

Instead we are not playing it shaking our heads in disappointment.

I just love the two day flurry of “activity” immediately after the big blow up into: “I’m sorry and we are totally going to be more transparent about progress” followed by two full years of dead air lol

I think it would be fine to goldmine the thread, the stuff with the dev team coming in here and making GBS threads all over things was a great finale, and a cool reminder of when SA was a lot more relevant in having actual news happen here (and not just the "we have pedos and nazis here!" style news)

I also don't mind it being open either, even as someone who has mild obsessive compulsive disorder it doesn't bother me that this thing is out there popping up with new replies every so often (although yes i DO need to clear the unread number, that is very important)

keep the thread open until forum technology becomes so advanced that the thread becomes sentient and finishes Barkley 2 for us
