All of them have other jobs at this point. They have been working on spec for ages, and you can't eat spec.
Frankie is not much involved at this point since his art assets are wrapped up and he's working on his horror RPG pretty much full time now but he's said things are still progressing.
Specifically, it seemed like they wanted to iterate quickly on changes but ran into hellish problems with the engine they chose. They were then faced with the choice of upgrading to a newer version of the engine - a massive undertaking, staying where they were - making testing and incremental changes very difficult, or starting from scratch on a different engine - a more massive undertaking.

I'm pretty sure they went with the "stay where we are and deal with this garbage" choice. "Our tooling is fighting against us and we are just dealing with it" isn't newsworthy.

Yeah every time I saw an update I was struck by 2 things: 1) it looked really good, like, over the top perfection and attention to detail and 2) it had a huge amount of feature creep. He should have tried to keep it small, but the expectations of thousands of backers and the high of getting such a huge lump sum for a project... Well, it's a familiar story.

I'm really not too bothered. I've come to consider backing a project a donation, not a pre-order or an investment. Sadly, that means I've backed a whole lot less projects recently. If it ever does come out, I'll be pleasantly surprised, and I might even just pay to buy it again if I can't be bothered to figure out how to collect on my pledge. But I don't expect it at this point. Projects fail, bills must be paid, life goes on.

There was something so pleasant about that day

But when we're out there, and we care
Yeah, they're out of touch
But it wasn't because they didn't try enough
We just asked too much

That would absolutely be newsworthy on the grounds that it would mean the project is not 100% dead.


I EXPECT that it's 100% dead. But there is a nonzero possibility it's just "we occasionally work on it when we can, but it's only in our spare time, and the engine is poo poo which makes it hard, and honestly it might as well be dead and will never come out but we are still making an attempt."

All I want is an official, definitive statement to the effect of exactly how dead the project is.

I still tune into Frankie sometimes, but I've stopped asking him for updates because I imagine it's annoying, and also he probably honestly doesn't know.




Edit: You know why I feel worse about this? Because with lots of doomed Kickstarters, it was clearly a lost cause or a literal scam from the start. Here, we know they have actual gameplay locked down. They just too up their own asses with scope creep, apparently.

An update explaining the state of things might even bring out people who could help the project. Its gotta be better than living in exile like some pariah.

That's easy to say not being in the devs' position. I can't imagine the stress and the guilt that comes with a years-late Kickstarter that's run out of money. Being ashamed and just ghosting everyone would be very tempting to do, especially given how toxic things like this can get on the internet.

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.

The best new gun's revealed for Barkley 2 are:
1.
Cougar. You know, just the right weapon for the right situations.
2. Hickory. You know, the gun and the gunplay of an old college football coach on the sideline.
3. Hobbit. The gun that looks like a hobo's hammer.
4. Voodoo. A really cool piece of gadgetry.
5. Gigantic Bulldog. The gun of a huge, bad guy, that doesn't look cool.
6. Gigantic Cobra. Yeah, the Cobra, but much bigger, much stronger.
7. Giant Hammer. A giant thing in all, that looks way too good to be real.
8. Scorpion. No gun's allowed, but if gun's are part of the deal, the scorpion will get it all.

The Taurus didn't offer much for drivers craving the sport sedan experience. That changed with the 1989 debut of the Ford Taurus SHO (for Super High Output), a Q-ship of the finest order that offered up a high-revving Yamaha-designed V-6 engine and a tight sport suspension.
