quote:These points are the most baffling to me. Did people there not understand the whole reason any of us are interested in the first place is because Barkley 1 was funny? Who gives a poo poo about the systems or millions of guns or whatever, all we ever wanted was a funny game. quote:i guess on the bright side barkley 2 isn't the worst about this (that'd be omori). quote:Also, the ToG site still offers preorders promising the game for early 2014. quote:I'm curious who this person holding the reigns of barkley 2 is, since it apparently isn't any of the obvious names, i.e. cboy, bort, lazrool. It was always presented that myself, Bort, and Chef had some kind of control of the company. However, when things started going very badly on this project and I pressed Bort's brother, it was essentially admitted that we have no control and we're stuck with him. No one ever agreed to this, but on paper he does own the company. quote:To be fair, "needlessly complicated systems, obsolete systems, and totally broken systems" are exactly what I thought they were going for, intentionally. If anyone has any information to contradict what I'm saying, they have been free to post for all these years to clear the record, and can even post in this thread now.

Still not sure why no one just made Barkley 2 using the original engine, no one would have cared and in fact most probably would have preferred it to whatever this game was supposed to be

That simple bball tactics game that they said would come out soon years ago that never came out was probably a good sign this was a doomed project.

Scarodactyl posted:Frankie has been working on his own horror rpg project for years now. It started as a little side project so he'd have an excuse draw tons of awesome monsters on the weekends but recently transitioned into being his main project. Not formally announced yet, but he streams work on it most days. It is going to be insane. Also full disclosure I am drawing some tiles for it. well I'm fuckin' interested, the man needs a reprieve from all the drat gun's he drew for a game that never happened

Hiratio posted:I would only give credit to B2 if one of the core people of this project would have said something earlier. From what I have seen, most were fine with the idea of this project fading into obscurity. omori got twice as much as tog for a much easier/smaller project and i'm pretty sure has been silent for a lot longer.

Lurdiak posted:As someone with no real connection to the project but who does know some of the people who worked on it personally, I am going to caution against taking a single person's brief account of events as the final word. I probably shouldn't even say that much, but I've seen brain geniuses on twitter renewing their declaration of the kickstarter as a "scam" based on the updates posted itt, which I find infuriating considering how many hours have been put into the project with such a meager budget. I mean I don't think any of this implies it's a scam in the least. it's a project that ran out of money, and fizzled out due to a lack of additional funds and poor management. which sounds like the majority of indie projects honestly. also this is the only person's account that we have to go off of. we've not gotten an update in literal years. this whole thing is a shame because I really liked what little of the demo I played at a convention, and all the art and stuff looked absolutely fantastic. I have a glimmer of hope that we at least get a resource dump and maybe an unfinished build at some point, but I'm not holding my breath.

Unfinished build and resource dump would honestly probably be worth my  if the stuff they've got in the tank is as good as what little the public's seen

They are right now at this moment letting people pay money for a project that does not exist, has made no real effort towards existing for years now, and which they have actively worked to obfuscate the fact that it will not ever exist. That's pretty much the definition of a scam. Scarodactyl posted:Ah, that classic scam where you put in hundreds of hours of skilled labor for free to own your mark. Just because someone made a game you liked 11 years ago doesn't mean that they're a good person or that you have to defend them. Especially when they weren't the people who by and large actually did do all the skilled labor for free.
