So what you're saying is there will be many arbitrary speedrun categories? I like where this is heading. I like having World Records but only when I don't have to compete for them

Gortarius posted:The game is very non-linear, and right now there really isn't anything that seperates the optional areas from the rest, besides the objectives you are given to complete the main storyline, which are often times pretty vague and require you to find hints and explore Necron7. There is only one area I know of that sort of locks up after you depart from it, but we could put in some dialog that tells the player that he can't go back afterwards so you better make sure you are ready to leave. In fact I think thats already in there. How many romanceable NPCs are you planning for launch?

I really doubt it though because there are only new joke's in the game, no recycling. SeXReX posted:So what you're saying is there will be many arbitrary speedrun categories? I like where this is heading. Speedrunning has come up a few times, for example the dodge roll has a small pause at the end so that it isn't a faster than walking and thus you don't have to roll 100% of the time to move slightly faster. We will also try to avoid using any game crashing .dlls this time around. You can be the world record holder for Barkley 2 speedrun without any candy used. No one else will try for that. swimming anime posted:How many romanceable NPCs are you planning for launch?

Does this mean that if X114JAM9 fucks around too much shootin dudes the player will miss out on plot/sidequests? Or will Bark2 be sectionalized with each quest you complete (sub and/or main) advancing the clock a certain amount?

Will the game keep track of any quests or events the player has completed from previous runs to make finding new paths easier? Also, will every possible path through the game have a unique title, similar to Shadow the Hedgehog?

Time does affect things, for example if there is a quest to deliver insulin to someone and you decide to do 10 other things before that, it'll be too late, the guy will be dead. In most cases though the time limits are very lenient.

Anonymous Robot posted:*Scam picture* Hmm, well, that estimation was a bit on the optimistic side looking back to it now. There has been a lot of problems, big and small, that make the dev time extend. Ever since day 1. We have no idea what we are doing but everyone already knew that. Demo would prob give some good feedback, but I think the gameplan is to have all that poo poo in conventions. Our producer says that there are no plans for any conventions right now though.............................................................. besides barkleycon 2015.... and ToGcon 2015 Big Mad Drongo posted:So copying noted Roguelike and Sperg Simulator TOME4 then.

When will you put the game on Greenlight? Games are still going through, although Valve doesn't really bother to announce them any more. It's definitely still a Thing. Valve has shown no signs of actually fulfulling its promise to nuke Greenlight and eventually replace it, at least not yet.

Is there any chance of Barkley 2 containing a Binding of Isaac style randomized dungeon that could be played over and over ad nauseum? Always looking for a stupid rougelite-like fix and was thinking the randomized gun's system might translate well to the format.

It would be a lot less elaborate than Isaac in number of different things that you can find etc. I tihnk everyone has their hands full right now though so you'll have to wait any real confirmation to that for some time.

In case you're not aware, Barkley 1 has been updated so there's even more information in the save file. Old-version save files are still compatible with Barkley 2, but for full punishment for playing both games, you'll have to play Barkley 1 again.
