>The Kickstarter was not necessary, especially in hindsight. The majority of work on this game was unpaid. Myself, Bort, and Chef are the original Barkley 1 creators. I did not join the Kickstarter with them because I was aware of the many problems that could (and did) arise.
>I was asked to join the project 3 years after the KS when the project had little money and was in shambles. I was committed to trying to finish the game but it was consistently set back by horrible management and I ended up quitting. The person who owns ToG and is running it now had nothing to do with Barkley 1 and has zero game dev experience. He is the ToG PR guy.
>When I quit, Lazrool also quit. We were the only two remaining who understood the technical inner workings of this game. Laz worked on this project nearly from the start, pro bono, and was tired of the nonsense as well.

Honestly Barkley isn't even that good of a game anyway. If it came out today then we would have called it streamer bait. Also when this project was announced I could immediately tell that the scope of the proposed content was way too big for the creators.

Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion

It is a little sad, Barkley reminds me of the more innocent days when people, goons included, just did things because it was funny and without shoving their politics or ideaology in there. I guess Barkley 2 was never likely to succeed; the idea of a ridiculous joke game trying to become a legitimate product is just too outlandish, but it would have been nice if it had happened.

The original Barkley fangame took the piss off furries, SA goons and on the faggy RPG Maker community. Part of the charm was how all of the assets were lifted from other games and nothing has any aesthetic coherence, most of which was deliberate to make fun of the dime a dozen RPGMaker games.

Yep, Current Year internet cannot produce something like Barkley because everything needs to be about the morals and politics of the authors now. Even if they somehow kept it to a minimum, nearly all discussion of the game would then be about "decoding the themes" of the game, and fags being prissy that they think it promoted wrongthink, or that it tried to be PC but didn't do it enough for them. Pic related; this shit transformed from "fantasy adventure but anyone can die" to "Stronk womyn and minorities are badass and can do no wrong" because having a woman fail is misogynist.

It was still intended to have a lot of rpg elements. More an action RPG than just an arcade style shooter.
