>This is also about the time when I discovered the Dark Drakers, which soured the whole thing further. Dark Draker is a filler character in B2 who talks about being faster than the snapping maw of a drake. I discovered that an entire areas worth of NPC's were just carbon copies of Dark Draker with a different name given to each, AKA the illusion of work being done. Just these 10% finished NPC's basically littering the project to make it seem like it was all good. I suppose the plan was to eventually make them into distinct NPC's but the problem was that the whole game was plagued by the Dark Drakers, and they GREATLY attributed to the shit compile times. I also discovered/was told about some of the more hidden mechanics of the game which can only be described as the concoction of a lunatic. For example, two separate ingame time system both dictating quests and NPC behavior (with NPC's also being dictated by quest variables, items the player has etc.), leading to impossible to fix content. Thank the lord one of these system was later discarded.
the worst is the twitter PR shithead damage controlling as hard as he can i'm sure the game is totally going to be finished despite nobody who made barkley 1 being involved anymore and there being two people working on it (not actively) even if it ever does get finish i highly doubt it will be worth playing with all of this in mind
Brayden Nguyen
At least release the vidcon pack to the public gatdam it
Ian Williams
Well I guess I don't have to feel bad about not getting off my ass and getting my fanproject off the ground anymore.
they supposedly spent more money and effort making this than a year of development on the game
Aaron Wilson
The promise has been broken... Well, I mean, I guess technically it could come out before then but I doubt it.
Dominic Bailey
It's quite obvious everything he's saying is bullshit and has been from the start, of course he can't keep his story straight. The second he admits it's over he has to answer to the many people wanting refunds.
URGENT: We have new Dark Draker lore from Gortarius
>Just to clarify (because I now realize my lovely wall of text can be misleading on the Dark Draker details), they all didn't share the same sprite, or at least I don't think they did. Otherwise they were 95% copy-paste jobs.
>The original Dark Draker that the others were copy-pasted from was like this short guy facing northeast or northwest. I think he had a sword and a helmet. It was one of the wasteland/bonfire people. The other Dark Drakers either had some other bonfire NPC sprite or no sprite at all until I fixed them, but what tied them all together was that if you talked to them they would all say how they are as fast as the snapping maw of a drake and how they could kill you seven times over before your corpse would hit the ground, or they would just crash the game.
Carter Powell
Just shut the fucking thing down already
Barkley 2 died when it went to kickstarter - Which meant that as a paid product, Barkley 2 wouldn't be able to include all of the irl basketball shit without some kind of licensing
Chase Price
george bush is a great ape from the zoo is his funniest video you faggot
Even if the game does, by some miracle, eventually get released, without the writing talent of the original team it just won't be satisfying. The humor is what made Barkley so memorable, and there's no way this new dude could replicate stuff like
Logan Baker
He was one of the original creators of it. He dropped off the face of the earth like two years ago and apparently not even the Barkley 2 people have had any contact with him, despite trying.
Matthew Ortiz
he didn't drop off the face of the earth, he just ghosted the Barkley 2 producer. he recently had a writing credit in Katana Zero.
>there's nobody left but me and a part time coder >but we're gonna finish the game guys! Who honestly believes this? Would be less embarrassing to just dump the source code and assets and move on from this. It's been almost 7 years since the Kickstarter.
Carson Bennett
Damn, I had no fucking idea he was actually successful. I just remember him from Dilbert 3 and Shrek Is Dreck
Christian Russell
Got any proof? Can't seem to find credits/staff anywhere
Bentley Mitchell
I didn't even realize SA was still around.
John Davis
Least I got my body pillows. Where my fellow scamees at?
He posted in RPG codex's Baldur's Gate 3 thread like a day ago.
Colton Garcia
>Zeitgeist of Swords - last thing you'll ever see. God this is hilarious, shame we'll probably never see the full game. So much promise.
Camden Wright
>all the retards that donated and were exposed last thread >same retards here that will try to justify their stupid fucking donation
NEVER DONATE TO IDEAS OR CONCEPTS YOU DUMB FUCKS
Anyone with two braincells saw this coming >random PR people posed as "devs" join in >actual devs were unorganized >people(ie retards that donated) trying to find a silver lining in all this
Henry Evans
the tog twitter damage control is pathetic
Julian Nelson
>NEVER DONATE TO IDEAS OR CONCEPTS YOU DUMB FUCKS Worked out for me, I've backed games like Grim Dawn, Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, Obduction, Divinity: OS2 and Hyper Light Drifter
I wouldn't really compare it to barkley in any way but it's a fun ride It's on sale at least
Colton Barnes
literally me
Oliver Clark
I went into Katana Zero with no expectations and I was pleasantly suprised
Nolan Stewart
Man, that SA thread is a shitshow and just another reminder that backing a vidya on kickstarter is a bad idea. Image how fucked those idiots that backed 100+ dollars must feel.
Kayden Reed
Perfect.
Oliver Moore
>I won't hesitate to shoot through a crowd of people in self defense
Joshua Lewis
I pissed away $100 on some mobage last night. It doesn't matter when you make decent money.
Henry Fisher
This is a late reply, but The Diary of Anne Frank Shareware was listed on ToG's website for a while, but got taken down when Barkley really blew up in popularity. If you google it there's an entry on some crappy game maker type website and a tigsource forum thread with some guy asking about it, but the download link is long dead.
Alexander Cook
Can anyone really say that they're surprised. At least we have confirmation now that the project is dead as fuck. Not one single original team member left.
Benjamin Rivera
>They call me... "the Sneed Feeder"
Brody Thompson
perfect.
Blake Watson
i just looked through my email to see if i can still download the ToG vidcon pack and all the links are fucking broken now. i donated 60 dollars to this shit and i can't even access my rewards anymore. fuck these fucking faggots
Logan Bailey
no fuck that nigger. he's forcing ads on one of my videos because he added his music to some content claim shit. i fucking hate youtube's cancerous faggot ads and i hate having any of them on any of my videos.
Jace Gonzalez
>lighting money on fire doesn't matter
Yeah ok.
Jordan Adams
WAR CRIMINAL WAR CRIMINAL
Carter Ross
I think I still have that on my old laptop. I wonder if it still works, not that I know where it is. Some of those games were honestly really good.
Brayden Perez
pressure the guy on kickstarter/twitter for these he's doing a lot of damage control and if he refuses to accept your request it's goin g to look even worse for him
Tyler Evans
okay i just looked through the vidcon pack and it doesn't seem to be in there, so either it never existed or they're lying about the pack containing "every ToG game ever made"
Brayden Wood
Make your own music, fuccboi.
Lincoln Gray
>this npc is probably the only piece of barkley 2 that will ever be remembered
Daniel Kelly
blow me nigger.
Hudson Sanders
Where did you buy your nigger?
Christopher Cook
You'll be surprise. It was much better than I expected when I first played it. (I expected a meme-filled shitty game).
Jayden Diaz
sa thread
Nathan Peterson
>i donated 60 dollars to this shit and i can't even access my rewards anymore. fuck these fucking faggots this same guy let a barkley 2 pre-order page stay up on the ToG site that "promised" it would release late 2013/early 2014 until today when someone pointed out it was still there grill him and he will probably cave, he's on hardcore damage control right now
Jordan Howard
Most of the first game was written by him and bort. Some faggot posted in the other thread that he was only responsible for the music but I'm pretty sure he was just shiposting.
Jacob James
does cboyardee have a twitter presence other than @Cboyardee?
John Hall
it's being made by an actual developer and already has a publisher so we can only hope.
The link always just went to that create-games website. It used to have some screenshots, it was just a faux-retro indie platformer. Maybe the whole thing was fake and the download link never worked, who knows.
William Perry
>cboy's only good things are the dilbert videos and his music >implying this isn't his greatest video youtube.com/watch?v=hgO1LUijb0k
Evan Phillips
Good but short
Jayden Brooks
It's all an elaborate ruse they're gonna release it next week
frankie the artist seems like a cool guy. maybe he'll do that.
Carter Lopez
he also seems like the person who has the most faith in the project besides the guy in charge of the twitter, so i can't see him doing it at the moment.
Ryder Gomez
not at the moment, we weren't talking about that, no. maybe in the future if the project dies in a fire like it seems it's happening
Austin Butler
This whole saga reads like a dysfunctional band breaking up.
Yeah, that's basically what vidya "journalism" is. Not sure why you're assblasted about it.
Lucas Wood
gotta get those cleats wet
Alexander Garcia
I'm not assblasted. You're the one caring that much about my disinterest in copy-and-paste "gaming journalism".
Nolan Flores
This is a fucking pasta waiting to happen
Jaxson Moore
I don't get it.
Jonathan Stewart
It's basically a variant on *Teleports Behind You.*
Eli Baker
there's nothing to get. it's not that funny. light parody.
Colton Powell
everyone ITT acts like it's some sort of comedic genius, though. i'm guessing they're also the type to dump 300+ dollars on this dumpster fire
Isaac Rodriguez
It's poking fun at edgelords, but more importantly it's fucking sincere comedy, something lost on this place in current year 2000+19
Absolutely insane how everything has to have some layer of irony or sarcasm because "opening up means getting hurt by criticism" so everyone has to be fucking srs bsns all the time
Carter Scott
It's just the teleports behind you meme regurgitated. I don't see how it's some sort of work of genius.
Zachary Wright
>all the little zoomers in this thread that never played Barkley Gaiden God this board sucks now
Joshua White
also that the game was taking 15 minutes to load just because that one NPC was copy/pasted everywhere.
Robert Murphy
"sincere comedy" "ironic comedy I think you should take a break from this board, friend.
Carson Cox
that's the most funny imo
Gabriel Morgan
15 minutes to compile, not load
Brandon Brown
I did play some of the game. I just didn't get it. I guess I was too young to enjoy it. I remember the kid and the slums and someone went missing since the last basketball wars?
Jace Martin
that gotta be painful for the developers working on it, lol
Dominic Reed
That's a shame. I actually got to play Barkley 2 twice, once at PAX '13 and again at PAX '15. The little vertical slice demo they had of the city/sewers area was pretty fun and I remember it being quite funny too. The character creation process was also really neat. I never imagined when I first played the game that six years later it still wouldn't be out.
