You forgot the most important question.

Will this game have an Al Bhed version?

Mozi posted:

It will be a bummer that the famous B-Ballers of today won't be making reappearances. Also a lot of the charm in the first game was in the combat system where you could really get down to some B-Balling action, I'm not sure the gun's will give the same feeling. I'm sure it will still be a great game though.

Hey guys, im one of the artists on this. Character sprites and animated bits mostly.

Cant believe how quickly we reached the goal, gat drat. This is nuts. Thank you so much everyone!!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and mindlessly speculate X114JAM9 is Hoopz fused with Cyberdwarf somehow.

I expect the real answer to be much less coherent.

Anyway, we're going to be at the Awesome Games Done Quick thing tonight when they're doing Barkley. We live like 10 miles from where it is and they asked us to show up, so we'll be there. Super hyped. It'll be at like 5:00 AM EST, so I seriously doubt too many people will be able to watch, but tune in if you're up. No idea what we're going to do, just sit on that couch behind the guy playing the game I guess?

Skip all them and go right ahead to Barkley part 6, then fill in the gaps after it's successful.

Forgive me my sin of linking Kotaku.

The guy making fun of TB is what got me to finally buy the game.

The difference is kaceytron's stream is hilarious if you have the tab minimized and just the audio on and most streamers who just try to attract views with their appearance are boring as poo poo. She's also intentionally bad at games quite often, and she brings in fresh content pretty much weekly. Including video content like "Green Grove Dairy Farms" her current sponsor and a bunch of other video stuff not involving her appearance.

The people who don't get the joke are funny, and the people who think they are clever for getting it are funnier. It's by far one of the most consistent, entertaining streams on twitch. And as time goes on she only gets better at keeping things fresh and introducing new, quality content regularly.
Was there a chance this game would be released last year?

What's the joke? Barkley Shut up and Jam Gaiden is parodying JRPG's by... being... one?

FrankieSmileShow posted:

Yeah basically. We wanted the material mixes to always give the same results, so you could remember that a rotten gun + a junk gun = a soiled gun or something, and that was the only part players were intended to realize individually. The actual underlying logic was just meant to be a bizarre secret, the kind a community might realize later down the line. So for a typical player, the materials are just a seemingly arbitrary, but repeatable, result. So if you end up on a really good gun material, you remember the gun's parents and can know what materials to combine to get this material again on another gun, which works as expected.

The more important logic for players to be reasonably expected to figure out the mechanics of was the gun geolocation, stat growth and affix genetics, which are all more self-explanatory. A machinegun parent tends to make a child with higher rate of fire than a shotgun, etc. The specifics of genetics are convoluted, but the result are kind of roughly predictable, with child guns inheriting traits from their parent guns; again the details are less important than the actual results making some kind of sense.

i guess on the bright side barkley 2 isn't the worst about this (that'd be omori).

Sleeveless posted:

Yeah but due to Barkley 2 being an actual commercial product all of the actual NBA and Space Jam references had to be cut so none of that would have been in the game anyways. Which is another reason the kickstarter was a bad idea.

Groovelord Neato posted:

yeah if i had a successful kickstarter i'd be making the game in my free time to make sure it got released if i ran out of money. are there kickstarters that have done that after the funds dried up?

omori got even more money than tog and hasn't he been silent for years.

they probably would have had to cut stuff like the save points that quote random forums posts too

Oh yeah I forgot to say how it occurred to me that in your postmortems ya'll aren't even bothering to obfuscate that X114JAM9 is Hoopz anymore.

FrankieSmileShow posted:

Another was an early prototype of Non-Human, a really fun shooter I made for a tigsource game jam around remaking various games from Action52. I was working on that game pretty hard, but "temporarily" put it on hold when Barkley2 went in full swing, thinking Id be back at it as soon as Barkley2 is done... welp

These are the worst kinds of people to work for in gamedev. There is nothing more infuriating being told how to do your job and how long something should take by someone who doesn't write a line of code or place a single pixel. gently caress them. Having ideas isn't a job. Telling people what to do isn't a job.

Rectal Death Adept posted:

Calling it. The guy who took complete control of the intellectual property then used that control to browbeat everyone off of the project one by one is now worried that aforementioned control means he is solely responsible for violating Kickstarter's Terms and failing to deliver. That's why he and his brother are both concerned with speaking in the present/future tense of a game that everyone quit working on.

I'm curious how long they would have let the radio silence go on if this story didn't explode beyond this thread. I mean if you never announce the game is dead then you are never liable for failing to deliver.

I hear you, and this may be a useless question, but if a bunch of fans mobilized to convince him to step down and give up the rights back to original creators, would it be worth considering coming back

Well the demo is likely to come out and most of the devs want to finish it (but don't think that's possible because of Liam)

The game has perpetually been 2 years away from completion for as long as I can remember, and there has been no will to fix this.

Hentai Jihadist posted:

FFX was considered garbage at the time but JRPGs are in general extremely bad so it is seen one of the best modern examples of the genre now looking back since every FF since then has been worse.

I guess people are supposed to play JRPGs for the story but they have pretty much the worst stories and writing in games.
I missed out on the supposedly golden snes era but looking back on the ones I've played since the only two I can think of with a genuinely interesting story and characters is Nier 1 and Barkley

CYBEReris posted:

when revisiting the game the neo-shekels, the ironically racist asian shopkeeper, and the sewer furries being, intentionally or not, very trans-coded and hopping the line between mocking and sympathetic depending on what's funny at the time all made me varying degrees of uncomfortable

hoopz getting shot with type 2 diabetes is literally the funniest thing that happens in the entire game, though

FrankieSmileShow posted:

Lisa isn't an easy recommend, but it is really good. It loves tonal whiplash and its got some pretty horrible subject matter, its not for everybody. Combat and exploration aspects are really well executed, and the game is filled with things catching you off-guard, like a few really solid horror bits.

DrManiac posted:

Funnily enough you probably feel that way about the dlc because it was a kickstarter stretch goal.

Barkley's a better jrpg than anything with "star" "dragon" or "wild" in the title.

Sleeveless posted:

I know I posted it earlier but the guy who made LISA being an actual IRL martial arts weapons wrestleboy explains so much about that game and makes its existence that much cooler. It really is like basically outsider art therapy and even if the DLC retroactively killed a lot of the cool mystique and subtext the game as itself is a masterpiece.

Like he made the entire soundtrack on the demo version of Fruity Loops and anyone with an understanding of that software will immediately rcognize all the default/stock stuff he uses and how loving weird he gets with it, it's just on an entirely other level.

thanks for the replies, downloading unity and godot

its a shame cause id like to try GS2 but despite their blurb saying there are "no barriers to entry" it costs a minimum of £80

my ultimate goal is to create a british version of liberal crime squad (gently caress you ubisoft) then get arrested by the police
but first ima just try to make an insanely basic turn based combat system and maybe a map to walk around on

Gortarius posted:

Had Barkley2 gone for the jrpg sort of battling like B1 did, it would've been done years ago. This is my theory, I hope you liked it.
