"The Hero of the Age..."

The hero of all ages
This is, unironically, the game I am looking forward to the most right now. On any platform. Thank you, OP, for making the best freeware game ever made and for following through with the sequel. And I know I'm not the only one. Almost $28,000 raised so far!

You will be getting first dibs from my paycheck on Friday.

Donated the gently caress to this. And it is a crime that, as of this writing, this has not passed the goal yet. :colbert:

Hey Chef, I just wanted to say that i've seriously enjoyed the Tales of Game's family of edutainment products since Barkley was first being gabbed about on gamingworld, and backing this was a no-brainer (not saying your team has no brain). I'm really looking forward to this one!

This game is fully voice acted by actual NBA superstars (including Charles Barkley himself), right?

There's going to be a stretch goal for gaining the rights to use NBA players' likenesses, right? Seems only natural.

He's moved on. He freelances for Shadowrun and has actually self-published a tabletop game or two.

Holy poo poo. What a blast from the past. . .

There was this guy named Brickroad, one of those hyper serious RPG Maker dudes like Legion, who said a really great quote about Barkley 1 once. It is one of my all-time favorite quotes -

"This game makes me almost unimaginably angry and sad, but not at all for reasons related to the game itself (which I have not, and will never play)."

Brickroad, I hope wherever you are, you have cheered up a little.

No, not really. Although he and Legion got in a slapfight over one of Legion's newer projects having a bunch of ASOIAF "homages". That was fun.

But that's neither here nor there.

I'm gonna try to get a pledge in for this but money's tight this month, so we'll see.

This is probably the greatest day of my life. I dunked a b-ball on my mouse to confirm the payment.

Also, I would absolutely love for Barkley 2 to be on steam. That would be fantastically convenient and also super cool because you will get more money.

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?

Barkley obviously died in the Necron 5 explosion, so of course he won't be in this game. Let's just accept it and move on.

He survived one Chaos Dunk already, you know. The one he did himself, before Neo New York was just New York. He can survive the Necron 5 one.

Tales of Game’s Studios Presents Chef Boyardee’s Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa is possibly my absolute favorite RPG of all time and was kinda a huge inspiration for me and I've been hype as hell ever since the announcement.

The Incan gold bit at the end always completely slays me.

I would back the gently caress out of you guys, but Kickstarter only accepts credit cards and gently caress that noise when I have a perfectly valid bank account number linked to my Paypal :sigh:

I mean, the music for your games alone is something I'd pay twenty bucks for. And then you offer the music and games for forty and sixty dollar backing respectively.

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".)
