Zackarotto posted:Paypal should go up soon; they didn't want to dilute the offering toward the kickstarter total until they met the base goal, or something. (They were expecting an "uphill battle".) Ahaha, these guys got their goal within a day, so really, it's amazing how expectations can be turned around so quickly.

Holy sweet poo poo. The project may have reached its goal but come my paycheck I'm throwing some cash your way; Barkley 1 was incredible, and since you're taking all that personality and humor and making it an ARPG, I need to change my pants.

Guys, I cannot believe how quickly we reached our goal. I am just man Thank you everybody. This really means a lot to me and I am just so happy that Barkley 2 can finally happen. I really want to thank all of you. This is amazing to me and I really, really appreciate all of your generosity and enthusiasm. This blows me away!!! AAAAAAAAAA We will be updating soon with stretch goals (we don't have many planned out because we thought this would take the whole month), a Paypal link and more news. I can tell you that our first stretch goal is a Mac port. Also, we did not ask for enough money to work on this full-time, we asked for enough to work full-time for a few months. The more money we get, the longer can work full-time on the game, which means it will be bigger and better and more fully realized. I can't thank you all enough. I just WOW!!!!! AAAAA Thank you! Thauros posted:You guys have my money regardless, but is this a single character or multi-character game? Hahaha This game has a lot of surprises in store. I don't want to reveal too much too soon, but you do create your party. None of those are real characters in the game, those are characters that were created. jvempire posted:From what I've seen from the kickstarter video, the combat looks legitimately fun. The quest system sounds interesting as well, though I have some difficulty in picturing how it will work. If people/places/quests change over time, what does that really mean? Like Majoras Mask style? Well, it means a lot of things. First, the content, events and quests available to you open and close as time progresses. An event or quest that's only available early in the game will just disappear, and if you miss it, it's gone for good. Quests and events often lead to even more content, so if you do a quest, it will very likely change something else in the world. The example we gave in the RPG Codex interview is that eventually a town gets destroyed if you don't intercede. This is a really dramatic example, but there are lots and lots of smaller (and even bigger) things that happen with the time system. The reason we're doing this is because we want everyone's game to be different. We want someone to have a game that is not at all like their friend's game because they went off in one direction and one time and their friend went off in another direction at another time. We want there to be dozens, hundreds of things that very few people, who just happened to be in the right place at the right time, see and experience. This is the #1 thing we want to do with Barkley. It's like the backbone of the game. Beardless Riker posted:I'm interested in this game, but I am a stoner. I'm not sure if this is the game for me?

There aren't a lot of intentionally funny games out there, let alone funny games that have pretty enjoyable gameplay.

I'd like to compliment the graphics and art we've seen so far. The ripped assets gave the original some (hilarious) flavor. But seeing these beautiful sprites and animation got me on board to donate my sweet, sweet neo-shekels.

Finally. The return of the post-B-Ball-apocalyptic Neo-dystopia. Also the original Barkley did something no other RPG in existence has ever done before: IT MADE A SEWER DUNGEON FUN.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Finally. Ahaha We're actually working on a sewer dungeon right now and I can promise it is a lot more fun than the one in the original Barkley. We've learned a lot about game design since we made the original Barkley and one of the most important things has been that the best dungeons don't actually feel like dungeons. In fact, I think "dungeons" as a designated area where you FIGHT ENEMIES and DO NOT SPEAK TO ANYONE is awful and outdated and there will be none of that in this game. The games with the best dungeons, in my opinion, are Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Dark Sun: Shattered Lands, Realms of Arkania: Star Trail, Stonekeep and Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter, where there are actual fun things to do in each of them. We're drawing a lot from their area design. Jibo posted:These last few weeks have been all about resisting temptation to buy myself stuff in favor of getting Christmas presents.

Game Maker has iOS and Android support now, can we hope for a mobile version as a stretch goal? poo poo, I'd drop a hundo right now for the possibility of a BSUaJ:G android rerelease.

Chef Boyardee posted:Ahaha I love it. I'm looking forward (but will forget and then be reminded of in due time, with much renewed enthusiasm) to the final game. You have my pledgebucks. I was wondering what you are doing with the combat (and movement) mechanic to make it interesting or to go beyond your initial idea. I suppose Hotline Miami is the big thing for a similar looking type of combat gameplay - it was almost like a blood-strewn puzzler. I suppose I'm asking whether or not your combat will either move past or innovate further Smash TV or A Link to the Past (with guns) levels of interactivity? I hope that makes sense, and I'm not dissin' or anything.

RandomFerret posted:poo poo, I'd drop a hundo right now for the possibility of a BSUaJ:G android rerelease. It's funny you say that because a dude has been working on this independently and sent me a build a few days ago. This isn't something I can make any promises on, because I personally am not working on it and didn't solicit it (he volunteered himself to do this) but if it actually does come out, we will absolutely include it on our site. I don't really know how Android works, but it would definitely have to be free.

FYI Steam's DRM services are entirely optional, the idea that all Steam releases MUST have DRM is a myth. If you have some indie games on Steam try a couple of them out -- just copy-paste them out of steamapps and into wherever, and at least some of them should still work fine. Put them on a flashdrive and take them wherever. E: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Judging from what I've seen on the KS, Game Maker is perfect for it. It's more flexible than people know. speng31b fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Nov 29, 2012 |

Cicero posted:So is Game Maker actually a good tool for this kind of game? Or is it more that you guys are already familiar with it? Both! Game Maker is a great engine. Games like Spelunky, Hotline Miami and (I'm pretty sure) Aquaria were all made in it, so it's kind of a stereotype that it's used exclusively by hacks. It's just a coincidence that we're hacks and we're using GM, it doesn't reflect on the engine itself.
