When we got the full story about why Barkley 2 is dead as gently caress and never going to come out, y'all will still cling to it. I wanted to see this thread closed because that's the only thing that'd give full closure about this project, collectively, and everyone can move on and find new Joke's to enjoy.

I do though. Because I went to PAX a decade ago and got a code from one of the devs dressed as a wizard. That is a commitment I can't walk away from.

If you can’t slam with the best, then jam with the rest.

Also, a note to any developers: when you write a breakaway rpg maker 2000 game that is witty and memorable, just write a funny and witty rpg maker xp game for the sequel.

DO NOT radically change genres, increase complexity, and Betray The Promise.

Barkley was made in game maker, it just borrowed the aesthetics of snes era RPGs. And barkley 2 was game maker studio so they followed your advice perfectly

At this point just make a yearly Barkley 2 game jam where we all make Barkley 2. Twine Barkley 2. Unreal Engine with placeholders Barkley 2. Complex b-ball physics simulation Barkley 2.

We are all B-ball and the promise, together

I'll be honest when they started talking about fancy gun's loot breeding systems I just assumed they were completely joking about it and not actually working earnestly to deliver on that vision. Nuclear Throne meets Borderlands could be a good idea for a game but maybe not if the game is also an RPG maker comedy sequel. .

Well, now I can confess that since sports betting is now legal in my state, I bet the entire barkley budget on a series of ill-conceived parleys for march madness.

The good news is, one of them hit, the bad news is the total budget was like :20bux: so even twenty-to-one returns don't get you much.
